The Flowers of Spring

Our trip to the supermarket has earned us $25 worth free card. I hope that the groceries that we bought will last for a month's consumption.

First day of the month is a busy day for many patrons of this store. Many of them came out from the comfort of their homes and workplace to shop there. I haven't seen that store for a month since I used to go to another supermarket where our Q points is higher and it is closer to our place.

Anyways love to get out once in a while and see what is to be seen at the downtown area. What is the new "change" or changes that happened. Any good news. Bad news? Never mind.

There are few things to see and noticed actually some people I know from before. My son and daughter's former grade school teacher was there at the front line paying for her groceries. I don't know if she noticed us. Rose was also in a shopping mode. Lorne's friend was also in that store together with his wife. Wow! what's the theme for that day it seems to me that the store is quite busy that day. It's not Christmas or Boxing day. Ha ha ha ha!

Let us assumed that it was a day where busy bees are out in the market. But this particular bee is tending to the store's botanical garden sipping nectar for the hive and maybe he'll make lots of honey.

Oh by the way I took a quick snap shot of a humble bee on top of a yellow flower. After that can't help taking pictures of the many long rows of garden pansy.


Aren't they so beautiful? Bright lovely colors of spring flowers.
Yes spring is here and you can see them when those flowers are in bloom.
Violas (Arkwright ruby), Primula ( Pacific strain), Mixed hybrid of dianthus (sweet william), and violets and daffodils.









Hanging baskets of petunias in different colors. Mums and other colorful flowers.

And I was looking for irises. Ooppss! My iris is in my eyes!

My oh my time to go before I bought so many flowers.
