Beautiful Spring Days....

   Yesterday and today are perfect spring days. Just absolutely beautiful. Our flowering crabapple is blooming now. I love the color of this blossom.
   The redbud has bloomed. I sure wish it had many more limbs. Look at that sky , just a bit of heaven.
  I have been raking out old mulch still have much work in these flowerbeds here. The water barrels are working now. The lilies growing in front of it.  I am thinking of staining this feature, Ted likes natural weathering. I just want a touch of color.
  I wanted to thank all of you for your prayers for my daughter Karen. She did very well in surgery. She will be coming home today. I will be checking on her.  The thyroid will be biopsied and the results should be in this week. Karen's doctor said she would do fine with the thyroid meds.  I surely  pray she will.
  I am going to go into town soon and help my sister , Jeanie, move her things to her new apartment.....she will be two doors down from our sister Brenda.  They are not married now, Brenda never had children, and Jeanie's are grown and gone. They live simply.  We need less as we age.
  Wishing all of you a wonderful day. You are the best. XO

  2. Sending prayers your way. I had half my thyroid taken out last year, it turned out to be benign, hope it's the same for your daughter.

    1. Thank you Deb. My daughter said she is doing fine but felt like she needed more rest. Her In-Laws live around the corner from her, so they will help keep an eye on her. Thankful for that. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  7. I'm so glad to hear that your daughter made it through the surgery and will be home soon. So sweet that your sisters will be close to another. You and all your sibs could probably start your own village, hah.

    1. Debby, I had to laugh about the village. Years ago growing up, who wanted their siblings around, now aging it's nice. :):) Hope you and your family are well. How's the house showings going? Bless you, Susie

  9. It is true Susie, that we need less as we age. I have been working (slowly) on de-cluttering and downsizing my 'extras'. Hoping you daughter did well today and believing for excellent results from her biopsy! Blessings, Cindy

  11. Susie, I just said a prayer for Karen. I hope everything is well with her. The blooming crabapple is just beautiful - such a pretty color. I've never seen them that pink before. I can see how you would want a touch of color on the water barrels. I love a bit of color in the front yard - that's why I would want purple or pink flowers in front of my cream colored house. It will make me smile. Please show us the barrels if you decide to paint them.

    love, ~Sheri

  12. My father in law had the most beautiful crabapple! Loved the color in all the seasons, but those little buggers were had to walk on! Such a mess to keep cleaned up. It was fully loaded every year. I am hoping that the biopsy came out ok for Karen. Praying for all of your family- you have been through so much lately. Prayers for you, too- so you can have some peace of mind and the strength to keep up with it all.
