Stormy looking weather yesterday evening. Wednesday we were above 80° and working just a little in the backyard, I broke a sweat. Thursday we got the yard mowed; all the dead grass bagged up and ready for trash pick up.
Of course it is much cooler today. And we still have to put fertilizer down probably this weekend before we have a chance of rain on Monday. I am anxiously awaiting April when I should be able to move plants out from under the plastic into the trees and the yard.
You know... head 'em up and move 'em out. Yes, right now I think I am ready for summer. Yee Haw!
Are you wearing green? I am wearing orange (big surprise) with maybe a hint of hidden green.
I know! I can wear a hat. Do you have a hat to wear?
OK! Everybody looks like they are ready to go to the St. Patrick's Day party. Do we have to bring something to eat? I want something green to drink, maybe green tea!
Do you know what time you will be here to pick me up for the parade and the party? Which pair of dancing shoes are you wearing? May I have this dance?
Midway through the week and washing lots of muddy dog towels. Yes, we forgot to put the doggy door on first thing this morning.
Do you have any magic up your sleeve? Or anything magical planned for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow? Will you be wearing green?
Cats may be finicky eaters but I bet they don't come in with muddy feet or mud caked between their toes! Thank goodness it is warm and they can stay outside until we get everything vacuumed and mopped. Then they will all get a bath and we will start the entire process over again.
It might be just one of those days! Do you know what to do to change that? Share your smile with others.
After our 1" of rain we are smiling except when the dogs come in the doggy door with wet and sometimes muddy feet. Then they do something cute and irresistible and make us smile again.
The weekend is gone, spring forward is done, and Monday is half over. Time flies when you are having fun. Wonder what Ole Mother Nature has in store for us this week. Tonight we have a chance of rain... YIPPEE and medium size hail... HISS
So today we are going to laugh and share our smiles with everyone we encounter. It is a great day to count our blessings and your friendship is among them!
Winter just won't give up! Wednesday evening there were lots of Robins in the yard. Today we will not get above freezing for 24 hours or more. And the on and off rain along with the 20 mph winds with gusts to over 40 mph make it very miserable out there.
I might get started today turning the clocks forward as I have about 20 to change. Thank goodness others automatically change.
So it is a perfect day for Chicken & Dumplings! 5.5 lbs of chicken cooked with garlic, pepper, ginger and tumeric and ready for soups, parsley, carrots and chopped up chicken put in to simmer before the biscuits are put on top. What are you having today? Come on over soon or tomorrow for leftovers as it is better each day.
The Okapi, also known as Forest Giraffe, Congolese Giraffe or Zebra Giraffe, is not related to Zebra. The Okapi and Giraffe are the only living members of the family Giraffidae. They are about 4.9' tall, weigh 440 to 770 lb, and about 8.2' long. It can be found at the Fort Worth zoo and is from the deepest parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo rainforests.
So many people on my prayer list right now... friends and family and friends that are like family. So please today share your blessings with others.
I know our high Friday will only be around 40 but the birds are all thinking it is Spring. Robins, cardinals, sparrows and so many more are everywhere in yards and on feeders... waiting for Hummingbirds to return.
Hope that puts a smile on your face and you will continue to share it with others.
Late yesterday, the girl texted me that her doctor appointment got changed and I didn't have to work for her today. Well, thank goodness. 37° and sleet. I-30 was not moving either.
We decided mid morning that we would go get groceries. As we were ready to walk into the garage, the biggest BOOM of thunder shook the windows. It was very fast moving and so off we went in a very light sleet (not cold enough to stick). Can you believe for the first time in years we got everything on our list. Now, it cost us a pretty penny but the shelves were full.
Thanks for the Anniversary wishes! We have just had the best time together this past week... Well, OK most days for the past 42 years. He makes me laugh every day! We are truely
Please share your smile and choose to be happy and content with where God has placed you today.
