It's been a busy week here and not much of great importance going on at this time. So I truly need to get out of the house and do something fun or adventurous. I have a project I could work on. If I do that I will take photos. :):)
We have had rain on and off and more to come this weekend with storms. I think our April showers are going to be coming here at the very end of the month and continue on into May. I am hoping it ends this week. I know many farmers want into their fields. Our neighbor man has been on top of every nice day, so he is doing well.
Enjoy this beautiful Friday everyone. I hope it's a good day for all. XO
Wow that is some fog! It's cold and rainy here. I wish it would warm up some. It's almost May! Hope you get your yard work done.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, There are a couple things I want to do....like paint some things out side. A bench and a planter wagon. Some gray days zap my motivation. LOL. I know you are anxious to get your little garden areas in shape. It will be nice to sit out in the warm air and enjoy the birds singing. Blessings to you and Joe, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love fog - if I don't have to drive in it!
ReplyDeleteYour place looks so neat and tidy! You will be happy to hear that Louis Dean is really and truly getting the back yard cleaned up. He felt so overwhelmed the other day - he bought a storage building instead building one as he has purposed to do for two years now. He bought it online and Sherry will help him put it together. This means he had to clear off a place to put it!! This is the most organized I have ever seen him!!
We have firewood for next fall and winter from our elm tree. It's all piled up along the back fence line and not chopped up into logs yet....but we have wood!! Happy Friday to you, our little Susie Q!!!
Linda, You guys sound like Ted and I...we can't bear to have messes , and we sure do not want others to see them if we do. LOL. Yes, I think Ted and Matt are cutting elm logs today. The older I get the more I want to organize also. It only I could twitch my nose. Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie
Deletewe sure could use some of your rain. wind is blowing so hard here and dust in the air....
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend....
BJ, You must be far from all the Texas rains. It's a pity all the rains can be spread out to the places that need it .I do hope you get some in your area. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWe have had a couple of rain days here in Iowa and the grass is really growing and the trees are go green and beautiful. I love the Japanese Maple! Hope you can get out for some adventure Susie. Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, I ended up scouring the shower walls...that may be my big adventure for today. Yikes, it truly needed it. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteFog is great ... if you are inside. Driving in it is awful! He Japanese maple is so pretty. Would like to have one, but nowhere to put it. You know, we don't have to have something exciting going on all the time. I'm happy with ordinary days. We are having so much rain and my concern for farmers in Texas is the horrible hail and what it did to their plantings.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I can like fog and snow if I don't think about people having to be out in it. :) Yes, all that rain, hail and bad weather, seems to be isolated in the same areas of Texas that got hit last time. I have been caught out in a hail before , but I sure would not want to be hit by those huge hail stones.Scary. Nonnie, I am done with my big adventure today...I scrubbed the shower walls. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, I am in such need of an adventure too. I hope you find something extra fun to do and then I will live vicariously through you :)
ReplyDeleteYour J maple is a beauty. I wish, wish, wish they could survive here in my part of Idaho.My daughter can grow them in Boise, so I have to enjoy them there.
sending hugs from me and Landon!
June, My adventure will have to wait till tomorrow at least. I ended up scrubbing the shower walls. It so needed it. Those shower sprays just don't get it. Thank you for the hugs from you and Landon. So special. I hope he is enjoying the nicer weather , so he can be outside . I will post about any fun things I get to do. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie ~ we have overcast today, and that's fine and the day of the party in the garden setting was absolutely beautiful and sunny. The coolness today is welcome. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Hoping things slow done a bit for me next week. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda, I am so glad the weather was nice for your party. We had some touches of sun today. So it was not all dreary. :):)Blessings for a great weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat Japanese maple is beautiful, Susie! We've had bright blue skies with puffy white clouds, but it's still cold enough to need a jacket. Still, everything is greening up and that's a wonderful sign! Have a great weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteJudy I don't mind a sweater or jacket....most often we never get to wear our nice jackets. LOL.It is getting very leafy around here. I am amazed at how quickly the leaves appear once we have some warm days. The rain did help too. Blessings for a fun weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove fog!
ReplyDeleteAnd my husband has a beloved little Japanese Maple Tree. :-) They are lovely.
Have fun, on your outing!
Tessa, We once had a light green Japanese maple...nursed it for 5 years...too many spring deep freezes did it in. We had two other burgundy ones that get stunted from frost. I think this one is so nice because the house protects it some. Hope you have a great weekend, blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour weather sounds a lot like ours here in MO. More rain is coming tonight and through the weekend, they say. I love your Japanese Maple. I've been wanting to get one. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I am wanting a dogwood tree. We had one that last one year. I love their blooms.I hope you can have a nice Japanese maple. Blessings for fun weekend...even though it may rain. xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt's been cool and windy with rain here for a while...and more forecasted. I love the Japanese Maple and the color.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan, I can always find a million things to do...but they aren't the things I want to do. LOL. I will shred papers and sort some things. I said I was taking a bag of junk out of here every week. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Deletewow, thats heavy fog!!!Isn't that maple amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, Glad you came by. That fog lifted pretty quick after 8:00...but so dense and scary when people are on their way to work or school. Hope your weekend is a good one and that you get sunshine. xoxo, Susie
DeleteI have to admit that sometimes I am envious of the wide open spaces around you. You have to go 30 miles or so west from here to get away from metropolitan Boston and 4.5 million people in the area. We are crammed together here. Tomorrow, Sat. is the big day and then I can truly say, I am outta here!
ReplyDeletePS Once I get settled in in my new abode I will be back on a regular basis. And thanks for your comments.
Boston Boy, I will miss you. Wish Arlene had a blog , then you could pop in on hers once in a while. I truly wish you the best in your move. Hope you and Arlene have a fabulous vacation. Take care of yourself, please. Blessings to all, xoxo, your friend, Susie
DeleteI adore your Japanese maple!! I'm shopping for one right now as a matter of fact!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see where you put your maple. If you get a dwarf tree , you could put it close to your house. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove your Japanese Maple! Hopefully you will get sunshine soon! It is raining now here in the Carolinas....
DeleteNot sure if my first comment came through?
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say I love the Japanese Maple and the colouring.
Hope your foggy days clear soon and you have some sunny skies.
Happy weekend
All the best Jan
Hi Jan, Glad you wrote back, as your comment now is the only one from you. That fog was lifted by the Ted left the driveway. So happy about that. I get almost claustrophobic in fog while on the road. Yikes. I really should have shown our other two maples...so darn tiny from the deep freezes stunting their growth. Blessings for a nice weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, the fog is so pretty to me. I can't believe you're still having rains there.
ReplyDeleteHappy May day, Susie!
love, ~Sheri
