It is a beautiful Monday morning with glorious sunshine streaming into the kitchen as the dish washer is humming and the washing machine is working over-time to get caught up again.Apart from that it is quiet here as all of my family is now heading to their respective places:
hubby to work, daughter to college, another daughter to high school and a son just leaving for university again after spending the weekend at home. I just love having a full house on the weekends, but it's also good to get back into routine again. Last week was such a busy week for me, that I had no time to post pictures, so I thought that I would share a few before getting ready for my shift at the library today.
On our drive to the Niagara area last weekend, we stopped by to visit my favourite greenhouses where we picked up some spring primroses (primulas) for my Mom as well as for my friend M to bring some Spring cheer their way.
You can read more about Terra Greenhouses in Waterdown here as I posted about it around this time last year.
Simple Joys include:
♥colourful array of primroses♥
♥Spring planter in my home♥
The lovely scenic drive hubby and I took last week,

They were so tired and yet so cheerful
