It's late, always late. Now, at least, I can use an excuse. Coronavirus. In Romania I am today, as I write, 99 cases of infection ... it is a matter of hours until the number one hundred will be announced! Most cases, over half of all, are in Bucharest, the city where I live.
Well, this situation is radically changing the way we live now. Another chance, another life experience, what's right is that I could have missed it. As things do not go the way I want, I have to adjust. I have to change my habits, at least for a period of time that nobody knows how long it will be.
Returning to customs, every Friday I went shopping and the market, a habit taken from @dswigle and her #MarketFriday. Now, when the doctors' recommendation is to stay home as much as I see myself having to spend this Friday at home and in my yard.
I love to sit in the yard and look at the flowers. In my yard came spring. The flowers also appeared with spring. Spring flowers, the hottest flowers to see the sun.
I love wild spring flowers! I remember most of my childhood, when, with the end of winter and the melting of snow, we went to the forest to look for the first flowers. Snowdrops and violets!
This happens in a village far from the big cities but in the middle of the cleanest and most beautiful nature.
Now, over fifty years away from those times, I live in a big city but I have a house and a small yard. From each trip to the mountain and forest, I brought a wildflower that I planted in the yard. These flowers bloom first every spring and I love watching them very much. These flowers will be the characters of my blog today ...
In each part of the garden, all kinds of flowers appear every year, more and more.
One of the flowers that bloom among the first is a small, yellow flower. It is called the Easter Flower, of course, because it blooms before the Christian Easter holidays. I can say that I like the leaf more than the flower.
The most spectacular and fragrant spring flowers that grow in my yard are violets. You probably know them, but of course, they can have different names...
The other flowers are also prepared for the so-called noble flowers. The next wave of flowers that dominate the gardens immediately after the wildflowers. Another kind of beauty!
Some of the flowers that color and enjoy my life. There are others that still stay in the house, due to the outside temperature.
Friday is a day for shopping. This blog should have been about Friday shopping. To celebrate this, I also bought two plants. These are waiting for warmer days to be planted in the garden.
A camellia! I have long wanted this flower, a difficult and sensitive flower. I tried several times with these flowers and failed. I hope I'm lucky now.
In the end, a flower ... #walwaysaflower. Another custom borrowed from Denise (@dswigle). Although there have been only flowers so far, I will place another, slightly different from the others.
This epidemic, the pandemic now, forces us to stay home for a while. I really like this.
