Awww Monday and Sparks

    

 Thank you to our   

Host Comedy Plus 

Awww I think the grape like blooms of Wisteria are beautiful. I can say this since I don't have any growing in my yard.  It is considered an invasive vine.  



While looking for an inspiration quote this one made me say 
Awww and reminded me of a line in one of my favorite movies
The Holiday
You should be the leading lady of your life


Due to it raining elephants, cats and dogs on Friday the duct work


 was postponed til today.
 Upstairs duct work has to be accessed in the storage room off my blog office.
So I might be MIA from the desktop while they are in and out of
the storage.  But I will catch up.

  3. I have a wisteria in my garden and as long as we trim back the long "tentacles" it is not at all invasive. There are no leaf buds on it yet so I hope it didn't die through the winter due to the very cold December and unusually hot summer.. We have lost a few shrubs including Flynn's rose which has now been replaced. Our plants in this normally moderate climate are not used to extremes.

    I adore wisteria. None of it around here - had lost around in OZ. ... and Miss C, you have no idea how much I needed to see that spark today. I have saved it and may recycle it! YAM xx

  5. Great quote. You really don't need to be stuck where you don't want to be if you have the courage to change.

  6. I didn't realize wisteria was invasive. That's not something I see here, maybe it's too cold for too much of the year for it to thrive.

    I love that quote, though it's not always easy to start a new chapter! Mind you, if you don't, Life has a way of doing it for you, eventually. :-)

    That was quite the downpour you had, hopefully the duct work will go off without a hitch today!

  8. Okay, it will be good to get the duct work done. We have rain today! It has been months since we had rain, we really needed it. Your Spark is a truth for sure. I like it very much. I do love the fragrance of wisteria. Good Morning!

  11. Never want invasive plants in your yard even if they are pretty.

    We have the cabinet guys coming today to finish up the lower cabinets in the kitchen. The quartz guy comes on Wednesday to measure for our countertops. Moving right along. I hear you on having folks in your home. It does make for less blogging.

    Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Big hug, my friend. ♥

  12. Those wisteria are so beautiful, especially since they are purple! Having workmen in the house is never any fun. We hope you will be breathing easier after they are done.

  13. I love Wisteria, although it caused conflict between my parents. Dad had planted some against the back wall of the Nottingham house. It grew profusely, leading my mother always wanting to cut it back as it was obscuring the kitchen window!
    Cheers, Gail.

  14. I did not realize wisteria was invasive. It seems to me that one could keep it under control by periodic pruning! Good luck on your duct work! Cheers!

  16. I also love wisteria...They had it all over in California, but not so much in New Mexico.
    Wonderful spark today!

  17. There is a white HUGE Crepe Myrtle up the street and that thing is truly a thing of beauty. I never liked those until I saw that huge one covered extensively with blooms. Prettiest thing I have seen in a long time.

  19. We had a wisteria vine once. It grew into a monster, and even destroyed part of the fence. We decided it wasn't worth the constant work of trimming it back, and it only put out a few measly flowers that only bloomed for a couple days a year, so we cut it down. It still put up sprouts all over the yard for a few years after it was gone. Talk about persistent!

    Hope your work on your house finishes up soon. We have some work scheduled on our house soon too. Not fun, nor cheap, but necessary.

  20. That's an excellent Spark! Hope hope you get all your ducts in a row!

  21. Unfortunately, I have an editor who changes everything.

  22. I love wisteria but it does get out of hand and actually likes to be kept neat and trim. There are neighbors about five houses way from us who had two "out of control" ones in their front yard which were recently trimmed and they look MAGNIFICENT again! Hope the duct work project was done (or at least started!).

    Hugs, Pam
