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

Hi, I was just passing by your page.

 Have a great start to the week! Have

 a wonderful Monday, full of wisdom.

 We all smile in the same language, the

 language of joy and happiness. Joy is

 nothing more than knowing how to

 enjoy the simple things in life. Don't

 miss out on life's little joys while you

 wait for great happiness. A big hug, 

kisses, and smiles, Maria

Hello, friend, happy Sunday, I send

 you a ray of light, full of good wishes,

 so that you start your day with joy, that surrounds

 your home with love, let your dreams be

 bigger, that your fears, your actions,speak 

louder  than your words, the past, trodden

  on, the present, head on, and the future,

without haste, that everything happens

  beautifully today,that your dreams come 

  truenas you wish, strong hugs, Maria,

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

Hello back to you.  See you Saturday!

Thankful Thursday is here and I have a lot to be thankful for today.  

I think we grew up in the best era ever!  What fun we had outside roaming the neighborhoods with each other.

I am very thankful that I did NOT have to drive over that bridge to work or EVER for that matter.  

As I have aged, there are a lot more simple things that I enjoy.  Thankful for things that may not be perfect but still work most of the time... sight, hearing, smelling, walking... you know, the basics.  

Today we are in the low 90's.  We only had one ice storm this year.  Yes, many of you have had a terrible winter and you are always welcome in Texas.  

Wait, I work on Friday!!!  Oh thank goodness, it is only Wednesday!  

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

Hello,  good morning, I hope you

 start well this Wednesday Fly as high as 

your dreams take you Every day is important 

to achieve, be happy, with effort, and

 dedication For those of us who have faith

 and new dreams full of joy, with good

 humor, today is What matters most

 Live here and now I send you a ray of

 light so that your dreams come true

 with everything you dream of and your

 home is illuminated Big hugs. maria

Love the pretty graphics for St. Patrick's Day!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, happy Tuesday! May you 

smile and find joy. I want smiles back, 

 may all doors open for you, and may 

joy find them always open, so you can

 live each day with joy, and may your dreams

 come true, may light and wisdom shine

 in your life. They say that if you give joy

 and good energy, you will receive the same

 throughout your life. A big hug, Maria.

Take care.

Here we go again on starting another week!

What to do with another day of Retirement!

"I am just trying to get warm!"

Are you still waiting to do your taxes too?

Who gets dressed up everyday?

Where oh where would I be without my Hubby to get my coffee refill?  

Hello, good morning! May your 

light fill your new week with joy, and

 may your Monday be a day of renewed

 hope. I decided a while ago that not

 even Mondays would erase the smile

 from my face, and I hope they won't

 erase your joy either. Have a beautiful,

 positive day. This week you will have

 new, positive hopes and big smiles.

 Kisses. Take care, Maria.

Saturday is for doing fun things with friends!  

Friends can be right next door, on the phone, or even around the world!  

Coffee too can be shared in person or with others across the miles.  

Love each other, be kind to all and everyone will have joy in their hearts.  

Thank you for being such an awesome friend and sharing part of your day with me.  

Let the weekend begin early!  Friday is here and the day just feels different!  

It is a beautiful day to have a beautiful day with peace and joy!  

Flowers are up and blooming and then yesterday the wind shifted to blow from the north.  

What do you mean there is still another cold front coming on Sunday?  What happened to Spring?  

Just breathe, just relax, Spring will be back in a few days...  signed Mother Nature. 

Thanks for sharing your world with me and letting me share my world with you!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Have a wonderful day filled with smiles
