Hi Mona - haven't visited you in a while, and I'm taking the time tonite to say hello and ask how you have been? I hope where you are, the winter is over and spring has sprung. It has here as it's been in the 70s and 80's for weeks now and things have bloomed and the pollen has been very heavy. I don't suffer with allergies, so it never bothers me, but it is a shock to see my black car yellow!! Picked up a couple hanging baskeets of geraniums for the front porch and fininsed planting the petunias in pots. Now all I have to do is make humming bird food - I'm late doing it this year, but think about it and then get doing something else and so it goes day after day.
Be well Mona, stay safe and be careful. Have a good nite and a great spring. Hugs, Wendy
Such a pleasant spring day we are having along with a few drops of rain to freshen the air. Hope your day has been pleasant also as one does the duties of the day. Smiles Gloria
It is a beautiful, warm, low 80 F (28 C), morning in southwest Louisiana. It has been perfect for Geralyn and I to sit on our patio and enjoy the flowers, the butterflies, and the birds. We actually have a wood thrush nesting in our holly hedges but I am reluctant to take a picture of the nest. It also appears that our cardinals are in the process of building a nest nearby. A few minutes ago we had a visit from one of our hummingbirds and I was able to snap a quick picture and video. My front lawn needs cutting so I will start doing that chore soon before the temperature (and humidity) climb to a projected high of 90 F (32 C). After today rain is forecast locally for several days so today must be lawn day!!
This morning, Ger and I found our last butterfly had eclosed. We left the male butterfly in the mesh enclosure for about four hours before releasing him. He was very energetic and first flew to our holly hedges before flying off to rest high in my neighbor's tree. It was exciting to have three caterpillars emerge at the end of their metamorphosis into three healthy butterflies. We released one female and two males.
I hope your week has been kind to you while counting your blessings. This week went by fast doing this and that and that and this . We will have a few rain showers for the next several days so the grass will become greener and start to grow . I really do like that the smell of that first cut of grass along with spring showers. Do have a wonderful day and I will do the same. Smiles Gloria
We have already been up in the upper 80's, sunny and humid but that's the south for ya. Hope you have a great weekend and know I am always grateful for your friendship. Hugs,
A glorious Monday day to you. The sun is out and spring is in my heart. A bit chilly outside though so do not put away some of the winter gear yet. Ha Ha considering it is to snow on Tuesday . The calendars have all been changed and am ready to enjoy all of the April surprises.
I do believe I need a second cup of my flavored coffee of raspberry chocolate truffle to continue with my glorious moments of the day. Smiles Gloria
It's another beautiful day here in NC - lots of sun and temps in the low 70's. Hope you are beginning to see signs of spring also. Wishing you a great Friday and a happy and safe weekend. Hugs, Wendy
May you have a pleasant day as spring is trying to come in and the birds are singing.
Still loads of snow on the ground but it is gradually melting down. Warms my heart the surprises of April when you start your day and wonder now are we going to have rain or snow or the glorious sunshine this day. My how I enjoy all the four seasons. Enjoy counting your many blessings and I will do the same. Smiles Gloria
