Spring & Birthdays.....

 This morning, it is pretty out with a promise of 75 degrees.  Finally !!  Well for a while. It's suppose to be warm the next few days with rain this weekend, then back to the 40's .

  Karen, my daughter,  sent me photos of some of her flowers growing now.

  I think she is excited for Spring. Her son and daughter are both going to Prom. She is suppose to get plenty of photos .

  I did rake the front yard, where it really needed it. Got this wheelbarrow of pine needles  The needles make it hard for the grass to stay nice under the pines.

  Yesterday evening it became cloudy so no pretty sunset. But I could see the grass is so green in our area now. I love it , but Ted is thinking about mowing. LOL

 I just wanted to show some flowers I have had in previous Aprils.

  This was a bright assortment. I really like the pink and orange together.  I want some yellow on the porch, but may go with aqua color on the little tables and bench.  I have to keep layering on the paint. I bet the bench and table will weigh more by the time I am done painting them.

  Today we will be seeing Emma for her birthday. This is from last year. Today she will be 14 . She is our youngest grandchild. You can see she's taller than me now. My sweet girl doesn't come to spend the night any more. All caught up in her friends and school activities.

 Later this month, we will be celebrating Luke's first birthday.  Here I am holding him right after he was born.  So hard to believe how fast time flies.  Never get enough of loving on all these wonderful youngsters in our lives. 
    We have 8 birthdays this month. One would have been my dad's. I take that day and think of how good he was to all of my siblings and me.  He had been my father since I was 10.  I miss him. He used to tell us, "You birds better settle down"  Funny the things we recall.
   Wishing all of you some warm Spring days. XO
