You have such a pretty smile when I come to your page, it makes me smile back at you!

Saturday is such a fun day!  I hope you enjoy every minute!  

This year we did not get the rain at the right time of year to have lots of bluebonnets.  

I have very few bluebonnets that came up this year.  Nothing like this site as you drive through "The Texas Hill Country".  

Everyday it is important to be yourself and let your light shine!  

No matter how you see the world, go out and enjoy your weekend!  

Do you know what day it is???  

That's right and the fun begins this afternoon.  

Let your light shine and still have fun!  

You know Spring is here when you start to see butterflies.  

I haven't seen one this colorful but I hope it does exist.  

However, I know this is real because I took this picture.  I hope your Friday is joyful and full of the beauty all around you.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Thursday and the weekend begins just after the moon sets again.  

Sometimes the moon can be seen just after sunrise.

Every now and then the moon can be seen in the late morning.  

Often it can be seen just before the sun sets for the day.  

In the middle of the night you might get a chance to capture a picture of an airplane going past the moon.  

But only the astronauts were lucky enough to capture this picture when they were on the dark side of the moon.  

I hope you are having a good Spring.  Our weather has been so perfect for a while now.  

Wednesday is here and the weather has been perfect this week.  A little cold in the mornings but opened windows during the day with temperatures in the low 70's.  

This was me last weekend and it will be me again this weekend.  I love rain, thunder and lightning!  

Can you imagine the trash that would be everywhere, peelings and all?  Only in a perfect world would this work.  

I remember a friend once that couldn't even keep an Air plant alive.  I am so thankful for my green thumb.  

Plants can make you feel so good looking at them and especially smelling them.  

I really can't have tooooooo many plants.  How about you?  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Tuesday for us means Taco Plates and errands!  Woo Hoo!  

Spring means all kinds of birds.  I have hundreds of videos from our Bird Ring Cam but have yet to catch a hummingbird at the feeder on my iPhone.  

When they are at the feeder, by the time I get my phone, get the camera app open and zoom in, they have zoomed away.  

They are the most adorable creatures and most of the time they are in our area even though they fly from Mexico to Canada.  

Don't forget to plant things that the hummingbirds love to keep them around as well as a feeder full of sugar water, 4 cups water to 1 cup sugar.  

It is a new week and what do you have planned?  

Sometimes this is a hard thing to do, just to have faith that everything will work out to your best interest.  

Friends are there to help you along the way.  

Do the right thing and be there to help others along the way.  

Follow your heart and share kindness and love wherever you go.  

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Enjoying a cold weekend day this Saturday!  

So what are you doing this Caturday?  

Remember:  Laughter is the best medicine!!! 

Sometimes when you are stuck inside wishing for sunshine and Spring temperatures you have to entertain yourself.  

Don't paint yourself into a corner, paint a pretty picture to share with someone.  

Remember, you can be anything you want to be.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Thursday is here and the weekend can't be far behind.  

I know some of you are still having cool weather but I am hoping you will warm up soon!  

As you know our temperatures are all over the place.  Today will be in the upper 80's; however, a cool front is coming through tomorrow.  

Tuesday all 3 of our girls got a brushing and a bath by Rbt.  

Then while I was working on Wednesday, all 3 got to go for a car ride and got their nails trimmed.

So now we are back to working in the yard spreading our 16 bags of mulch in several of our flower beds.  Thanks for your friendship!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

What a weekend!  Thank goodness Monday is here.  We worked in the yard this weekend but we are NOT finished.  

However, all the strawberries on all the 5 plants have been eaten.  

On Saturday, our homemade greenhouse got completely cleaned out.  Plants got trimmed and dead leaves thrown away.  Yes, I may have gotten a little "pink" after over 6 hours as it was just above 90°.  

But so many plants are blooming including all 5 of our Rose bushes.  

And most everything else has lots of buds like all my different colors of Amaryllis.  I can't wait to see which colors bloom first.  

Yes, all the plants got to go back under the shade that the lattice provides on Sunday.  Next is buying 20 bags of mulch to be put down.  

And thank you for those that ask about Reba.  She is still going in and out of the Doggie Door on her own.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

I had the best day at work ever yesterday.  I made 39 phone calls, left 15 voice messages, but talked to 24 clients.  It was wonderful.  

Thursday we took the plastic off of all the plants and put it away, hopefully there will be no more temperatures near freezing.  

The Hostas and Ferns are doing so well.  Just a few weeks ago, I thought that one of the Hostas would never come back this year.  God's timing is perfect.  

Got some of the Ivy plants hung up in the shady areas so the 90° sunshine doesn't burn them.  Spring will cool off next week!  

The prolific Airplane plants are happy in the shade of the Juniper trees too.  

Today in between college baseball, softball, and basketball games.  I hope to get these beautiful blooming plants set out all around the backyard.  I could surely use your help.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

On this Wednesday I was just sitting here thinking of you!  

Hello Dianne!  I was just checking to see who has been here!  I can't believe they never shut down NOTH but glad too.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Thursday Hugs Dianne

As most of you know, our son, Wayne, and his family went to Tel Aviv, Israel for a week.  The company he works for, RAD, has its headquarters there.  

I have over 400 pictures from them.  I have loaded both my NOTH and Boomer pages with a few of them.  I will attach 2 zip files in my email with these pictures.  The third file in my email is videos in 2 different formats hoping both Mac & Windows users can view them.  

They rode Camels & took a tour of the desert and saw the Dead Sea.  They toured Jerusalem and got pictures like this, Mt. of Olives.  They saw places that Jesus walked, where He was crucified, where His mother, Mary, stood to watch them crucify him, the tomb, the upper room, the wailing wall and so many other places.  

They are so blessed to have seen the scenery, the architecture, the food, the history of such a different and historic land.  

Just think about how long some things have been there and how many people have walked there since Jesus.  

Every time I go through the pictures, I find something else.  The plants are just beautiful and the beach is magnificent.  The colors of the sky & sunsets are breathtaking.  The average temperatures range from 45° F to 85°F or 9°C to 29°C year round.  Sounds nice right now.  I hope you enjoy all the pictures.  As you know, I love sharing!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam  

Friday is here and I hope your weekend is as amazing as you are to me!  

The sun comes up earlier and stays just a little longer each day!  Let your light shine each day.  

My wish for you is just that you have a warm heart too and share it with others.  

May you have Peace and Joy instead of stress and worry!  

Give it all to God and watch Him work!  This is my prayer for you...
