Heavenly Scent

Errands in the local town this morning.
Thundering at the moment as rain comes in.

I saw them and the scent - always pleases me.
Usually wait until after Christmas and find
a pot on sale.

Looking at them the clerk stepped up
and I commented how I liked them
but too expensive.

She said "if you would like them I will mark them half price."

I replied "you will do this?"

So they were purchased
and I put them in my bedroom on my desk.

Narcissus Paper Whites
they smell heavenly...

A Christmas present
to myself.....
Baking a cake soon
and not planning on leaving the woods
until next week.

My idea of Heaven...

  2. One kind act can make such a difference. Every time you smell that scent you will remember this gift.

  3. That was so sweet of the clerk to do that for you.

    I love that picture of your desk with the paper whites and I see some hearts too.

    I would stay in your woods too. I'm staying here in our little haven until I have to go to work. I love being at home.

    Love and hugs to you dear Ernestine.

  9. Lovely thought, lovely gift, lovely price.

    I bought myself this large pot of daisies with a tiny poinsettia in
    the middle. Something about flowers.

    Though given my druthers I would have chosen narcissi.

    I'm hunkering too, Ernestine, let's keep in touch.

    It is soooo cosy...
