Lenten Rose

Things have been busy, busy, busy around here lately.  I have so many stories to tell, but no time to share them.  It was 55 degrees (but BREEZY) when I went for my walk by the ocean this morning, and look at what I found just outside our door.

 

I love how sheepish they are.  Is it time?  Just wondering.  I've read that I should trim away any deteriorating leaves.  So many of them were dead around the edges that all I was left with were the new, flowering stems.  These plants are not exactly thriving.

But, they are welcome, nonetheless.

It's possible we'll break the record of 67 degrees today.  I'm looking forward to the warmth and sunshine.  Have a great day!
