When I am out and about, I have my favourite places where I go and look at the puzzles. I don't always buy, but I am always on the look-out for a new story. Some of my favourite places include Dollar Tree, Dollarama, Walmart, Home Hardware, Cabellas and Canadian Tire.
This 1000 pc Sur-lok puzzle is a find from Canadian Tire. I can't remember what month I picked it up, but I was waiting until spring to start this one. It marks my flower seed planting this year. Assembly started the day I put my sweet peas to soak. I worked on it the next day, when I planted my sweet peas and finished it the day after.
This puzzle was one of the same shape picks. I am leery of buying puzzles that don't offer me more variety in shapes. This one offered me a lot of colour and variety in the image, so I figured I could wade through the challenge.
Most of the flowers on this puzzle don't show up in my garden. Maybe it's an invite to expand my floral selection. This year I have tulips coming up for the first time in my Calmar gardens. I was given some marigold seeds from my sister-in-law for my birthday. My gardens change every year because I love the variety of flowers offered and wish I could find a home for them all.
Spring work will eventually take me away from puzzling as I enjoy the outdoors compared to being in my office desk mulling over what piece to place next. I would rather be digging in the dirt than digging through puzzle pieces. But I also had another thought. What if I brought my puzzling outside. What if I spent time in the sunlight instead of my office. I might find that to be an enjoyable experience. It's something to think about.
