Got most of the water poured out of the trays from under the plants. Why, you say. Today there is no sunshine; we are completely overcast. Just look at our forecast.
In only a few days all the trays will be full again. Root rot is harder on plants than hot weather and no water. What is a girl to do? Just get out of the way because I'm going to get back outside and have a
Sure hope you do too! Stop by again when you slow down and have time to visit.
Guess what we have today? SUNSHINE and it is a beautiful day in the 70's. Oh what a difference the sun makes! So I am here to say...
We drove over (usually 40 minutes) to get new lens ordered for hubby's glasses and spent 45 minutes stopped in traffic because of a wreck. DFW traffic is bad!
But getting home to our backyard and the patio with the chimes clanging, hummingbirds drinking, birds chirping and flowers blooming, there is no place else that I would rather live!
May you have a glorius Thursday spring day. The tulips are blooming in the flowerbeds and I am thinking of pussy willows. Such an alsome day.Smiles Gloria
We ended up with 1.5" of rain yesterday (.8" day before) and no sunshine until about 7 pm today. So yes, we are soggy! Then Sunday through next Wednesday we have a pretty good chance for guess what... rain!
What are you doing today? There are so many little things that NEED to be done but this dreary weather does not inspire me to do anything. I hope to get something done before I watch for hummingbirds today.
I'm off to find the sun and a fairy to help me accomplish my chores today. Share your smile as I am sending you Blessings & Hugs!
We had 8/10" of rain yesterday and we are getting more rain right now. I try to share with friends all the time in Lubbock and Alice but it seems to love us here.
Can't see out my windows any more and the heavy stuff isn't even here yet. Thank goodness we got our Taco Tuesday meal earlier today. So now are you ready for the middle of the week. Time flies!
Thanks for being my friend, for stopping by to share your day, and for sharing your smile.
So here we all are chowing down on salad and Chicken & Biscuit Dumplings. My girls love to cook and did an awesome job preparing it.
Look how big the chickens have gotten. And what great egg producers they are too. They are so curious. They kept trying to peck my phone in my hand.
My son will forever be 12 and never grow up. This was before lunch was ready. Of course, when we left they were heading out to go play volleyball against another family. They are always going somewhere and doing something.
After all, he is a good father, husband, son and son-in-law. Connie and I both got beautiful flowers from him.
And since my adopted family lives less that 10 miles from my kids, we got to go over there and visit for a while too. So proud of them too.
My grandson, William, won the headset he is wearing playing whatever it is he plays in #1 position and is working on winning $1000. He also teaches and mentors other new players.
Well, I hope you had a blessed Mother's Day and are having sun shining upon you (as we are in a heavy misty day awaiting rain tonight and all day tomorrow).
First... Blessed Mother's Day to all ladies! Yesterday I had to go back to the store and get all my ingredients to make Chicken & Dumpling Biscuits recipe. My son wants me to bring everything to their house and teach the girls how I make it on Sunday! After 2-1/2 hours of shopping, up and down every aisle, and maybe coming home with a dozen more plants...
Then after mowing the yard, there was some planting going on at my house. Needless to say, Hubby and I were pretty sore by the time we quit at 4:30. Watched nationally ranked #6 Texas Longhorns beat Texas Christian University #3 in baseball 5-4. I was over at 11:30 pm. We play again today and tomorrow.
So now, I'm off to get lots done before and after the baseball game. So much to do... so little time! Don't forget to share your smile.
Every day is a good day to be alive, whether the sun's shining or not. WE hope the sun shines bright on your day, that your breakfast tastes fantastic, that you hit every green light, and that people treat you with kindness. You put that energy into the world all the time. You deserve to get some back!
Hubby and I got lots done this morning. Now I am ready to get outside. We will probably mow the yard tomorrow if it is dry enough before the rain comes back Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
But just look at what it does for my flowers! Thanks to Gloria for making this for me (kisses)!
So I am sending you Blessings & Hugs! Also I am asking that you share your smile with everyone you meet.
Oh my goodness! We are blessed again! We were 92 yesterday and that adds so much fuel to the fire when a cool front comes through. There were a couple of tornados in our area, lots of straight wind damage around, and even more hail reportings all across Texas.
We had beautiful clouds before the storms and an awesome lightning show during the storms that went on for about 2 hours. I love lightning! I went outside and took videos and even took videos from my chair watching out the window where my orchids are thriving.
First attempt at video. Anyway, we ended up with 7/10" of rain as it slid east of us and was over by 11 pm instead of 1 am if the storm had completely come across us.
So now it is time to get busy! Enjoy your day and share your smile!
So before I get sidetracked... again... I am going to share my pictures with you.

You will have to copy and paste it but you should be able to see all the videos of the Hummingbirds too. Most of my pictures are taken "LIVE" which means they have seconds of action. Let me know if you enjoy seeing some of my pictures. Porch or patio sitting ranks up there near the very top!
May you have a blessed week and also such a lovely Monday day. We were blessed to have a very nice rain shower overnight. The grass will grow more and I can't wait to smell that first hair cut the lawn will have soon. Smiles Gloria

We had a beautiful Friday evening! Wendy and I sat on the patio watching hummingbirds and cardinals and small birds galore. We listened to the guys talking inside and their laughter. Then they came back over Saturday and we met them for Mexican food and another visit full of smiles and laughter. We got some light rain on and off but Austin and Central Texas got very heavy rains.
This morning we had a bit of sunshine while East Texas was getting the heavy rain. But now we are cloudy and dreary again even though it doesn't show clouds in our area and there is still some blue peeking through.
I'm off to the patio for a bit to smell the flowers and then to watch some college baseball today from Austin since it got rained out yesterday.
Hello Nancy, thanks for your kind words about my page. Did your rain stop yet? We had a lovely little cool front move in last night. Sure feels good too. Happy first day of May. Enjoy your weekend!
A good day,weekend and new month to you. Getting much needed rain here at last and everything is growing and blooming. Enjoy your day sharing happiness with others.....George
Friday is almost over and so is May! We had another 7/10" of rain today. So are you ready for the Pilgrims???
You know.. Mayflower? I have company coming in an hour so guess I had better get the house picked up a little.
Don't forget to share your smile, even in the rain! There are so many hail damage claims that have been filed already. And some are still repairing their house from the freeze and broken pipes.
The sun is shinning , birds singing and the grass is getting greener. My, My the beauty of spring is such a treasure to see. It makes one giggle, smile and start to dig in the flowerbeds just for the fun of it. May you have a delightful day. Smiles Gloria
There are no words to tell you how blessed we are today and everyday. The rain bombarded us at 3 am and we ended up with 2" total. But north of Fort Worth (Keller, Saginaw and other areas) had very large hail.
And it did lots of damage. The news showed areas like hotels, apartments, and car rentals where almost every car in the parking lots had the back windows totally shattered or lots of holes in them.
We had lots of thunder and lightning but no damaging winds or hail. And even though we had 2" of rain, we were on the edge of the storm as an area near Waxahachie reported 7" from last night.
I am so very thankful that all the plants I put out in the yard didn't get beat up, but seem to be thriving. Praying that those of you who needed rain got it and none of you had damage from storms.
Now it is afternoon already. Where does the time go? Who stole it ?
Yesterday I got some new plants and some seeds put in pots. Also got them all around our yard in places. Now I need your help identifying a bird that I got a picture of in our yard.
So now that I have wasted your time, you are probably wondering where the day has gone. Guess I had better go find my umbrella because we are due rain and storms for the next day or two.
I hope you have a smile on your face and that you share that smile with others today. Blessings & Hugs are headed your way and I am
