In a sweetly pretty January vase on Monday

I think I have used her expression before in a vase on Monday post, but it applies once more.  My mother used to refer to really pretty things as "sweetly pretty".  I always think of her when I put a little posy together.  The garden this weekend yielded up the contents of my vase today, and I do think it is sweetly pretty!  I hope you agree.

      Me too! I am always in awe of the resilience shown by fragile little blooms which brazen it out in the face of frost, wind and rain, while we shuffle off into the warmth of our homes! Beautiful little superheroes! A

    Your mother was spot on. Sweetly pretty describes you floral treasures very well.

    Floral treasures is exactly what they are! Good description, and they are all the more precious and appreciated for blooming in the depths of winter. A

    Yes, sweetly pretty, as is the little glass vase itself - and is that a sprig of wallflower in it?

      It is indeed a wallflower! It is the first to bloom and there are quite a number of other three year old plants which are looking very robust and promising! A

    They're very pretty, Amanda, and have me regretting that I ignored the Cyclamen in my greenhouse yet again this week. Next week!

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
