Mary - Sweet Chick says:Nancy! This is incredibly lovely! A beautiful floral bouquet. Into my favs!

dolllady aka Pam says:Beautiful spring florals! I need to uncover my rose bush, garden is busy and plumbers that survived last years freeze. We had freeze warnings several days last week. We have been in the high 30′s for our loss the last 3 nights. If the clouds clear away it may be close to freezing.I found 3 buds on my orange tree.

Kathryn R says:Me too, Nancy! We’ve been in the deep freeze with very little snow this winter. So I’m worried for our gardens and shrubs surviving. But hope Springs eternal right? Love you pick – it’s so hopeful.

Crystal Canary says:We had snow this morning & the sky is gray–I’m ready to see the blooming flowers too. The purple & yellow mix is great. Nancy, I have a question–I noticed that your shop link has been removed from your profile. Do you still have your Etsy shop? Anyway, hope the sun comes out & warms up the day. We saw a few lizards this weekend as the weather has been warm–shocking to see them so early in the year–but I’m afraid they’ll be frozen before this storm passes. It’s going to be 17 degrees tonight–cold for the southwest. Come on Spring!

Granny Nancy says:Crystal, I’m no longer creating new jewelry and sold off everything I had. At 82 my hands don’t do what I try to tell them to so I’ve been giving away my stash.
Thanks everyone. We’re having warm weather here. Today and tomorrow may hit 80 and then go back to the 60s.

ObsessiveCreativeJenn says:How gorgeous! I just love the flowers and colors. Granny Nancy, I’m having the same weather where I live. I enjoy it much more than cold winter weather for sure!

dolllady aka Pam says:Congrats on your wonderful Spring flower POD! Today and tomorrow will be summer with highs in the 90′s and high humidity. Tuesday a cold front comes through and we’ll have high on Wednesday of 55°. Ugh!

Chicky Red-haired Grammy says:Beautiful POD, Nancy! I look out our kitchen window and deck doors and all I see is white snow on a frozen lake. Spring hasn’t even murmured, yet.

MH says:Yes!Yes!Yes! I completely agree! And congratulations!

Granny Nancy says:Chicky Grammy I am really sorry for what you see out your window wherever it is you live. I used to live in NYS near Scranton and Syracuse and the year we moved south, the snow in NY didn’t melt until April so the realtor couldn’t take pictures until well into April. So I love it here except that summers are so long with hi 80s and low 90s with lots of humidity. Ick.
