Hey Cheryl - how was your Tuesday? Mine was good despite having to get a shot in my eye. Things are still blurry but am managing. Started making spaghetti sauce before leaving for my appointment, so all I had to do was turn it on and let it simmer away. We like eating a bit later now that the light stays longer. It got up to 80 and honey turned on the ac - good thing as it would have been hotter than all get out in that kitchen with the sauce simmering away for hours. Rich tarted on an antibiotic and steroid yesterday and its kicking in already Meanwhile, he gave me his cold. Wish he'd share other things with me instead of his germs! Am so tired - hope I can make it for anotehr 2 hrs then I'll get my shower and go to bedl Have a beautiful day tomorrow - was 80 here and will be that tomorrow too. Hugs, Wendy
Have you ever colored eggs... fancy? How long has it been since you colored eggs at all? Me, forever! I can't even remember the last time.
This picture was from yesterday when we finished the main big bed in the center of the yard. We did 5 flower beds and used all 30 bags of mulch. Three of the beds had to be weeded or cleaned out before we could put mulch down. I will send a picture when all the cute things are put back in this bed. We did get the plastic taken off of the makeshift greenhouse and folder & put away for winter.
There is still so much more to be done. But it will be a little at a time now that the heavy lifting is done. My knees are SCREAMING and Hubby hurts all over. What a trouper he is and I am so blessed! Tornado Watch just issued and storms heading this way could have lime size hail.
Did you or have you ever done an Easter Egg Hunt? My DIL, Evelyn, did her first one Palm Sunday. There were different fields set up for different ages including adults. Wild and loud grown ups!
It wouldn't really be Easter without baby chicks now would it? We are getting ready for more storms. Today we are trying to get mulch put down in flower beds. 10 bags done and 10 more on the way. I'll let you know if we survive.
Hey Cheryl - how did your Palm Sunday go? Hope your day was peaceful and happy. Did you get to do any coloring today or was your day too busy? I spent the day mostly on the couch with a heating pad as I hurt my back cleaning yeterday - did too much. I'll have to cancel my PT tomorrow and maybe for Wednesday as I don't know when I'll feel better and I don't want to pay and not be abe to do what I'm supposed to. Rich had to pick me up last nite as I couldn't get off the couch. The heating pad and I have become good friends today. At least I can move a bit better today even if it is slow. Had leftovers for dinner - what a wonderful thing a microwave can be!! Hope you havea great new week. Hugs, Wendy
Still waiting for it to warm up enough to go outside. We started at 37° this morning. Yesterday the winds were 20 mph and tomorrow they are supposed to be 26 mph with gusts.
I sure hope your weekend is not as windy as ours. The grass has been so wet this morning that dogs feet have to be wiped or you get a wet lap!
Dog? What dog? I'm the Easter Bunny. I did see 3 bunnies in our front yard on the Wyze webcam this past week. And so begins all the Easter Egg Hunts. Have a fun weekend!
Do you know how good it feels to be home today? I have at least 3 big loads of laundry to get done. I am sure I have a list a mile long.
It is a chilly morning, only 60's for highs and so I probably won't go outside until late in the day. Perfect day to read a book. Besides, the weekend will be in the 80's.
You are invited to come on over! Even stay for the weekend. I promised there won't be a lot of work going on here (and I know you believe me). Ok... toilets need scrubbing, many bags of mulch need spreading and just a couple of other things on my list like reading a book.
Honey has allergies too but I've never had them. He went to the docs today - good timing as we don't know if it's bad allergies or pneumonia but he's having a hard time breathing. He goes for x-rays tomorrow and then to the lung doctor on Monday. I couldn't go with him today as I was at the senior center making bunnies - male and female and didn't get home in time to go with him. I won't be able to go with him on Monday either as I'll have PT at the same time. Went to dinner with our Thursday nite group - went to a hibachi place - expensive but I love it there - besides good food, I love watching the guy but nd mix all the stuff on the grill - he even cuts up zzuchinni in small peices and pushes them off his spatchulas into our open mouths - so funny as most of us missed it but a couple got it on the first 'throw'. Have a wonderful evening and nite. Hugs, Wendy
Sorry to hear you had to go to a funeral Cheryl. Another gal here went to one also on Friday and has another in a few days. Was a beautiful spring day here and also tonite. Had the windows open this afternoon for a while as Rich was at a meeting. He has allergies and hates the windows being open, so I do it on the sly. Going to the docs tomorrow for his regular check up and I'll be going too. Hope your day is a happy one. Hugs, Wendy
Just caught the end of lightning about 1 am after the storms had passed. Early news last night reported one area that already had 12" of rain.
Our rain, downpour, lasted about an hour and we got 2". Last night we had our usual stream in the backyard. But this morning there wasn't even a puddle. We have been dry and are grateful for the rain. I love that it soaked right in.
I am a morning person and a night person. I love watching the sun come up every morning and listening for the "crack" of dawn, hurrying out to catch the colors that appear and disappear quickly. But I also love late night, watching the moon move overhead, feeling the cool breeze, and seeing millions of stars in the sky. What about you?
Guess what I saw yesterday and today? I cleaned out the feeders and put in fresh food and then it was nice enough, warm with not too much wind, to sit on the patio for a while. I have at least a couple of different hummers!
I am working Monday and Tuesday, so I have been extra busy this weekend working inside and outside playing catch up. Now of course, we watched Longhorn Baseball and Softball Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon too.
So stop by and I will be back by Wednesday to check on you again. After all, you are my favorite, next to the hummingbirds in my yard.
