Our Skies....

 Wednesday heading home from the grocery. Storms coming in.
 This is driving past the Catholic Academy. Where my sister used to work, taking care of nuns, in retirement. They have all be transferred other places , as this group of building has been sold . It's in the hands of another Catholic group.

 You can see the steeple of the chapel above the flowering trees. The grounds there are going thru some improvements.
  This is Thursday at my daughter and son-in-law's house. Emma's parents. They have red bud and dogwoods lining their drive.
  This is the salvaged swing set that  Ted put up as a comfort for Emma when her mom was having chemo about four- five  years ago.  Now there's a baby swing for Max and Layla.
  We always get greeted by Sam the dog. He wants his share of hugs . Old sweet thing.
 While at Liz's, the big boss rooster (Samson) came crowing at the back door. I didn't give him time to peck on the door, I just threw out some bread for him and his girls(hens).  Liz said, "mom be careful, he can be mean. " LOL. I am not getting to close to him.
   I won't be doing much here. It is cold out today. Hope all of you are enjoying your Saturday. XO

    2. Susie, It was cooler than usual here today. We sat on the porch a while this evening and I needed a light jacket. The rain is moving in now. Blessings to you - have a restful night and a good Sunday. xoxo

  2. Susie, I always like to see pictures around your neck of the woods. It's fun to see the different kinds of weathers in other states. I remember Sam because he looks so friendly. That was so nice of Ted to put up the swing for Emma to comfort her. I love that picture of the flowering trees with the chapel in the distance, it's beautiful. Also, the first picture heading home with the storm coming in is very mysterious and lovely.

    Have a restful weekend, Susie. It's a mixture of sunny and dreary skies here. Lots of garage sales this weekend. : )

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Sheri, I always love seeing others hometowns and country sides. Sam has come along since his surgery for a tumor in his jaw. It has slowed him down some...so he likes to be hugged and petted. Blessings to you for a great evening and beautiful Sunday. Love you, xoxo, Susie

    1. Hi Kris, The rains and wind have taken most of the flowers from our trees here at home. I thought those at Liz's house still looked pretty. The white ones at the academy really popped with the clouds . Hope you are doing well and not stressing too badly. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie

  5. Nice to see the spring flowers and green lawns! I remember how the hens could give me a piece of their minds when I was sent to gather eggs!

    1. Hi Karen, Your sister , Mildred said she spoke with you and knew our weather was colder today. Brr. It really feels chilly, we turned our small heater on for a bit. I laughed about the hens...those of my daughters do carry on. LOL. Her rooster is meaner than good ole Sam the dog. Wishing you a peaceful evening and blessed Sunday. xoxo, Susie

    1. Kathy, We turned our tiny heater on for a bit just now. Tomorrow will be nicer. I do not want our spring to fly by...but I would like it to be 65 at least. LOL. Blessings to you and Joe. xoxo, Susie

  7. Hi Susie, Lovely sights to be sure. Sam looks like a wonderful dog and Sampson looks like he could be mean. Hope you have a great weekend.

    1. Noreen, I think my daughter's rooster is the watch dog...not good old Sam, the dog. He is so gentle...he had that surgery on a tumor in his jaw and has slowed way down since then. I will hug him and scratch him ...which he dearly loves. LOL. Our flowering trees will be getting past their prime showing this weekend. It's cold today. Warming up again tomorrow. Blessings to all there, xoxo, Susie

  9. Gorgeous skies, Susie, and I love the chapel. This is a special time of year with the clearer skies, nip in the air, and trees budding and blooming.

    Happy Weekend!

    1. Blondie, I was so happy when the Catholic Church In Lafayette ,In. bought the academy and the grounds. I was afraid some Housing group would buy it and ruin the whole place. I don't a nip in the air...but it just stayed cold all day. The sun did come out long enough to make a pretty evening. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    Have a great Sunday, sweet Susie! xx
