The scent of fresh rosemary is amazing. One of my favorite scents. I have never had good luck with herbs in the winter. I hope that the new window we put in the kitchen will allow me to grow herbs. The window will have two shelves across it - perfect for herbs I hope! Those are great suggestions Nancy! The scent of fresh rosemary is amazing. One of my favorite scents.

I also have some house plants that bloom throughout the winter months that keep the outdoors in. Orchids surprisingly enough are very easy to take care of and when they blossom it lasts a long long while - if left on the plant. African Violets are another and reward you with very lovely blooms. Carnations are some cut flowers that can last a long long while if the water is changed, etc. If you can keep herbs during the winter, rosemary is a fun plant to keep by the kitchen window. Not only does it smell wonderful you can also "trim" it for your pork roast and baked potatoes. I even brought in some scented geraniums for the winter. All you have to do with them is rub against the leaves to be rewarded with lovely whiffs of fragrance. In the summer when they grow to be a good size outside, make jelly from an infusion of the leaves of rose scented varieties. Mmmmm good. Thanks Diana, I look forward to your weekly visits.

I know not all women love flowers (a fact that I just CAN'T understand) but I absolutely LOVE them. I can't tell you how happy it would make me if my husband came home one day with flowers for me - for no reason. They just make me happy and daisies? They are such a happy and friendly flower.

It will be April before I have tulips. We planted about 120 last fall and I really hope they'll all bloom this year. I have far too few flowers in my gardens to have fresh ones in the house all year long . . . that probably explains my growing collection of silk ones! Thanks for visiting. Me too, Suzy.
