More Spring Like...

  This is how the sunset looked thru the back woods. I love all those pretty colors.
 Our lilies are starting to push up. Wow, it won't be long till we actually have spring.  The days are getting warmer this week. The wind can have a chill to it , still. Hope all of you are getting some sunshine and nicer days. We have cleaned some of our flowerbeds out . We sure need to bring in some mulch. Getting ready for the spring and summer season is a lot of work at times. Ted will be rolling the lawn this Thursday.
   Wishing everyone a fun start to this week. XO

    Good morning Susie. I'm glad that your lilies are coming up. It's still to cold around here for any flowers but I've seen a little of robins outside. Today I took my Cameo( Bumble Bee ) out for a drive. It's been in the garage over the winter. Have a wonderful Monday. See ya.

      Hello Paul, That sounds like more fun that cleaning flowerbeds. :):) I think you live farther north than we do. You know when the sun can shine for a few days and the temps get around 60...things start greening up. I love robins, they are a sign of spring here. We had one lone robin who came a bit early, he sat in the crabapple tree and ate the little pea sized apples till they were gone. Wishing you a great new week, with sunshine. xoxo,Susie
      p.s. Bee is looking good, isn't she?

    Oh- You are ahead of us, Susie. I love that you have some green and growing things there. Nothing here yet---or won't be for several weeks the way it is going.

    Beautiful photo of the sky. xo Diana

      Hi Diana, I hope we don't get a frost...I hate when things look so good then it frosts and kills the greenery. Seems my hands get colder than they used to from cleaning the yard. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    Hi Susie, Such a lovely sunset and how nice to have lilies springing up. I want to wish you and your family a blessed Easter. I know holidays bring to mind loved ones that have gone on to Heaven. This year, too, though, you have your new great granddaughter which is a huge blessing. xoxo

      Mona, I don't think our spring will be a long either. This month is considered spring and it was way too cold. But I think our cold weather may be over for now. I am ready to plant things in my containers. Wishing you some nice days on the patio. xoxo,Susie

    Hi Susie, I've been pruning some Russian Sage bushes this week-so much work; they are pretty when they bloom but so aggressive. Since you raised 4 girls, you know the noise level of giggling etc we will have here Friday night.
    We have had some really warm days but snow is expected tomorrow-so I'll be covering up my plants and bulbs. We never count it as spring until mid-May.
    Hugs, Noreen

      Noreen, I miss that noisy giggling so very much. I am hoping we do not get any really cold stuff. Yikes. I am ready for it to be truly spring. I did see some of my mums growing thru stubble of last years' cutback. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

      Cheryl, If I drive by a nasty yard...it makes me crazy. I do not understand why people let their yards go. When I can't do it any more, I will hire someone.....or just start cutting back on things to plant. Blessings for Easter, xoxo,susie

    Good morning Susie,
    We have some green popping through the ground too. I'm sure ready for it. I need some fresh, new life and pretty colors to look forward to. I'm sitting in bed trying to get caught up on blogs while my Shug sleeps. I sure didn't think my post about us meeting was only going to be up such a short time with such devastating news to follow. I think you need to come over for a visit sometime and see our place. We hope to move upstairs this summer! Have a Happy Easter if I don't chat with you before then.

I could not believe how fast you lost your friend and so unexpectedly. did you ever find out what happened?? I told Ted, my heart broke for you...all those winter funerals and then to loss a best friend too....too much heart ache.Thinking of you Cindy and holding you in my prayers. xoxo,Susie
