Sunday , Time To Relax....

 Good Sunday morning to all. This is the sun coming up . I love the colors and promises of sunrises.

 
This is yesterday afternoon. Ted got the wheelbarrel out.  It was in the 60's, but nippy with wind. So I am putting my hood on. We did get a lot done. There's still a couple beds to go. Plus more sticks in the back yard to pick up. We are to have rain later and the coming week. We'll just fit the work in when we can.
 I think back on my friend who passed last year. She used to complain that her husband would not tend to the yardwork. I told her that many hands make light work .  I hope that all of you are willing to help each other. xo

Flowerbed Clean Up.....

 My gosh, this is but a wee start on our outside work. Ted and I will try to get most of it finished today, before the rains come in. You can see the stakes I had around the mums, they were so bushy last year.
There's a pile of debris from a bush we cut out. We'll haul that away today. I want to soak and clean some of the bird feeders also.
 What is it about work that absolutely fascinates people??? When Ted and I would do any work in town...someone would always stop to talk. Well you can't get much done when that happens. Yesterday a  fellow from down the road pulled into the drive, got out and wanted to talk...yikes. We barely know him, nice guy and all.....but come on, we are working here, or trying. LOL. Oh well maybe we will finish up today. Enjoy your weekend. xoxo

Shopping And Lunch....

My daughter Angie and I went shopping on Wednesday . We shopped Kohl's and T.J.Maxx.... I really try to limit my purchases, as you all know, my closets are full.
We ate here...it was good. I should of taken a photo of it.  But I was so hungry,I never thought of anything but eating.
I got these napkins and a box of card. I love  to write people. I  will write to my sister, she and I write each other 3-5 times a week. I call her my therapist.LOL. Well right now stamps are cheaper than therapy.:):)  Enjoy this great day everyone. I am getting outside today. xo

Hobby-Lobby.....

 I bought this big sprig of forsythia, to use in Spring decorating. It was in the bouguet department at H-L.
 I picked up these little box like baskets , for Emma . She already needs help with her organizing. Scary when I see her room at times.
I also bought this little gnome fellow for Emma. Her father like them, so she does too. Oh by the way. she is a daddy's girl.
I got myself a new red ink to use in stamping cards. I love all the colors...but limit my supply. Hope all of you are enjoying this pretty day. It's getting warmer here. Oh happy day. xoxo

Sam I Am......

This is the slobber dog Sam.  Part lab, part boxer, all heart and slobbers. I look at Sam and I can almost hear him say"I may not be a smart dog Nana, but I do know what love is." LOL  Sam has been a thief before. He used to go down the road and just take anything he could carry , from the neighbors. My gosh they have been patient with him and my daughter's family. He would take thier toys, shoes, and once he brought home a pumpkin. But you just have to love him...he's like a child. He actually hangs out with the cat, Ozzie. So I think Ozzie talks Sam into doing things.You know how those cats are. Once one of the neighbors called Lizzy and said she was bringing Sam home. It was not very long after that, she called back and said"Your dog is back at my house and I do believe he has brought a cat with him." Yes, it was Sam and Ozzie. So Liz had to go get them together. Do not worry, Sam is changing since his visit to the vet, for a minor male surgery. :):) ox

Blue Skies....

This is what our skies have been like the past few days. Love, love, love it. The sun has been shining , lifting my spirits. It is really starting to be spring. I am not saying there hasn't been a nip in the air..brr. But that is how spring should be. Just warming up slowly, not from snow and cold ,to boom 80 degrees. I can 't take that heat much. I like to call the best temperatures, Vegas weather...where you can wear a jacket or not, the choice is yours.
 Ted and I are heading into town soon. I'd love to look at some plants. Might make a quick visit to hobby-lobby. Hope all of you have a good day. xoxo

Emma And Easter......

 This is Emma Pooh. She is growing up so fast. She'll be taller than me in a couple years, I am sure.
 We made Easter cards. That was our only craft this weekend. We drew a lot, read the funnies on Sunday morning. We did bake muffins.
But Emma has a new toy....she has an ipod. So she much involved playing on it. We played a couple of games together on it. She has to teach me everything. LOL  So glad she is learning so much. But I like when kids are so attached to electronics.  Hope your weekend was fun and happy. xo
