Rhubarb.
Like an old friend, come back from away, rhubarb shows its pretty red and green crinkly face every spring without fail.
Spring - flowering bulbs.
Even though we had snow yesterday, these pretty little flowers still manage to soldier on.
Today, on CTV, there is a marathon of the Harry Potter movies. So many years ago, I read the first book, before the movie was even made and was completely enchanted. Today I caught the second half of The Philosopher's Stone and remembered how much I wanted a room that looked like the Gryffindor common room. I sat and watched the movie while eating my fried egg sandwich (yes, another one), and welled up at the end when Dumbledore awarded the extra points to Gryffindor and the students all cheered from their tables in the Great Hall.
Although it is cold today, the snow has melted, and this isn't unlike other Aprils we have had. All the best to all of you!
Very sweet post. My rhubarb is poking up also. No real, actual green leaves as you have but the pinkish nubbins are visible none the less. Yay, spring time!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it ridiculously exciting seeing those first little pink sprouts?
DeleteIt's crazy weather out there. So, what else is new! We live north! When you see the bulbs and green, all's well with the world.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the marathon! And Happy Easter!
Thanks, I'm watching Prisoner of Azkaban now (in between doing this and that). It looks like it's tough turning into a werewolf.
DeleteHow I love rhubarb! And yes, there is nothing so dependable!
ReplyDeleteNever fails.
DeleteI"m as enchanted with Outlander as I was with Harry Potter all those years ago. We have Parsley growing in the cottage garden that just never stopped growing all winter, that's how mild it has been here in New England.
ReplyDeleteA little less soft porn with the Harry Potter series, ha ha. (compared to Outlander)
DeleteThank you fo your cheery post today. A very happy Easter to you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you, Jenn! I love rhubard and am mad that I have never planted it....Maybe this year. Or next...
ReplyDeleteLove the positive note of your post today.....And wishing you and all your family Happy Easter holidays!
My great Aunt would always say, "if I can just make it until the rhubarb.". Meaning, if I can make it through the winter to spring I'll live a little longer.
ReplyDeleteI checked yesterday on my rhubarb, there's two little noses poking through & I did a little dance. It's ok neighbours already think I'm weird. Your crocus are such a rich purple. Umm an warm/hot egg sandwich, yeah I'm in for that for dinner. ... Mary-Lou =^[..]^=
ReplyDeleteRhubarb is great but I’ve never grown any of it. Anything edible that grows in your yard will really be a gift this year of good harvests but messed up distribution,not to mention hoarders.
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I was so enchanted by the books, which I listened to over and over while traveling, I would not watch the movies. And when I did, I was enchanted all over again.

My rhubarb is almost pickable in length!
ReplyDeleteWe have all the Potter films on DVD. We usually watch them around Christmas time. Maybe I ought to read a book or two, but I don't think I will. Have a good Easter.
ReplyDeleteA pleasant and uplifting post! Be well!
ReplyDeleteI got very excited this morning to see the first fingers of our hosta plants pushing through the soil.
ReplyDeleteSnow melted here too but we didn't get much. We did lose power last night, this was after the snow melted. Cold today but bright out. Harry Potter. That sounds like fun. We do marathons here with it on DVD. Just a fun thing to have on. Wishing you well and boogie boogie.
ReplyDeleteOh- I dearly love rhubarb and always steal it from my son's neighbor's yard. They are weekend residents (maybe twice a month) so I am sure they won't mind me taking it. We have snow coming tonight and tomorrow-that is insult added to injury considering it should be SPRING. lol Happy Easter- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter. Have a Blessed day, hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteHow strange you mention the Harry Potter movies, just last night I asked a friend if I could borrow their DVDs ...I particularly like the first 3 HP movies. What a lovely blog you have!
ReplyDeleteWe have a very large container we put over the rhubarb so that the first shoots are pink and tender. Pulled some a few days ago. Delicious rhubarb crumble.
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could grow rhubarb :/ it seems to struggle on my place. Or maybe it's just me?
ReplyDeleteThanks To God Almighty for using Doctor Razor's Quick cure for herpes to eradicate my herpes Simplex Virus...I got diagnosed with Herpes On February 17, 2016 and it resulted in a cluster of painful ulcers and many problems while urinating.. My situation almost caused me my marriage because my husband was having pressure coping with his work and my situation.. One morning, I read a testimony on a blog page online, of a natural cure from a Herbalist named Dr Razor who cured a 50 years old retired US Army official and he is now healed from dementia.. I immediately contacted him and I told him of my herpes, he encouraged me not to give up. I administered the natural Healing medication he sent to me and a few weeks later I went to the hospital for a check up and the result was clear.. It's been 4 years now and I am proud to let you know that I am still healthy and living happily with my husband and my 3 kids after the healing. I felt it best that I let you know that if you contact Doctor Razor through his email drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com , you can have a second chance of living again,because he will give you good results.. I never believed in Herbs but Doctor Razor proved to me that Herbs Is a free gift from Nature and Its Importance to Mankind. And as well the effectiveness of Herbs. By completely curing me with his herbal Medicine. Reach out to Doctor Razor through his Email : drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com , Whatsapp/Call him via +2349065420442.
