I have actually had to water the hanging baskets. They dry out so fast in the wind and sun. But isn't this a glorious time of year.
In between working in the yard, I sit on the patio to rest and watch for hummingbirds. I can identify at least 3 different ones so far this year. Of course my favorite is the male with the black head and the ruby throat (especially when the sun hits him just right).
Now if I can just keep the dogs out of the flower beds and stop them from digging in the mulch. I find it everywhere. But then they look at us with those puppy dog eyes and I just go rake the mulch back into place.
I guess they are enjoying spring as much as we are as they run, jump, dig and bark at everything. So don't forget to share your smile.
Here we are, another Friday; but not just any Friday. Only God is truly "good". I am sending extra blessings to you and your family this special weekend. May you reflect on the sacrifice for our forgiven sins.
Weather was just about perfect here yesterday temperature wise. I did break a slight sweat in the sun but the breeze made it nice. Today isn't bad either even though the clouds have moved back in. So working outside again today I should not get hot. Hope your weekend is exceptional too! Blessings and Hugs!
The rainbow last night at about 7:30 pm was the second one in two days, the 12th & 14th. Then we had marble size hail this morning at 8 am and marble size hail again as the cool front came through at noon.
The temperature dropped from 85 to 70. My car is in the garage and Hubby's car is under the carport. This morning it rained for about an hour and we had 1/2" and this afternoon we were right on the edge of the storm.
Do you see the horse head too? In a matter of minutes after the hail stopped the sun was back out and shining to make the most perfect spring day.
And the storms were off in the distance. We are so Blessed again and again. I hope you are having a beautiful Spring day too.
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.
A little late Deb but wanted to say I hope your Palm Sunday went well and that your day was peaceful and quiet. Spent the day on the couch with a heatig pad as I hurst my back yesterday cleaning. Supposed to go to PT tomorrow but thik I'm gonna have to cancel as I don't think I'll be able to do anything. I couldn't even get up off the couch - Rich had to lift me up and off. Cant walk too good but a bit better today. Can't just sit and do nothing all day but didn't do as much as I really wanted and had leftovers for didn't - thanks microwave!! Have a good new week. Hugs, W endy
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!
Hello my dear friend and hope all is well. The chemo has really been working on me this time with my vision,loss of voice and now being anemic.Will just go what needs to be done. Have a blessed week.....George
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.
