MY FRIEND'S BEAUTIFUL TREES!

AREN'T THEY SO PRETTY AND THEY ARE IN OHIO-
THAT CRAZY OLD SIGN- I MADE THAT LIKE 13 YEARS AGO AND THE ONE I HAD- WE FINALLY BURNT IT LAST YEAR BECAUSE WE WERE TIRED OF IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE STILL HAS HERS.

I LOVE THIS TREE- I GUESS ITS SPRING THERE, TOO-


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY!

CHECK OUT THE CANDLE NUMBER IN THE CAKE! I KNOW SHE'S OLDER THAN THAT!

Around town:







For those of you out of state- here's where we live- it's a very small town but we have a lot of things going on...



My batteries ran down or I would have had more- so the next time we go out- I should be able to get some more...stay tuned....




ITS THE TRAIN...CHOO CHOO...


I LOVE TRAINS- I LIKE TO RIDE TRAINS AND GO THROUGH TRAINS AND HEAR TRAINS- I JUST LIKE TRAINS- WE HAVE HAD 3 RAINY DAYS AND SOME REALLY NICE TEMPS AND ITS ALL GREENING UP AROUND US...

SPRING MEANS GREEN:

THINGS ARE GROWING BY LEAPS AND BONDS- EVEN THE WEEDS...

OUR WEED PATCH...
I JUST HAD TO PEEK INSIDE- IT WON'T BE LONG NOW...


THE LEAVES ARE OUT....




THIS IS MY MOTHER IN LAWS LILY OF THE VALLEY- WE ONLY GOT ONE SHOVEL FULL LAST FALL IN ALL THE MADDENING RUSH TO MOVE HAROLD OUT OF HIS HOUSE IN 10 DAYS TIME- AND IT MADE IT- I'M SO THRILLED...



THESE ARE PURPLE IRISES- THEY ARE THE OLD FASHIONED KIND-
NATURAL PRAIRIE PLANTS I BOUGHT OFF OF CRAIG AND KYLE ONE YEAR AT THE GARDEN FAIR-

YOU CAN SEE THE GRASS SEED IS COMING ALONG BEHIND THE BED- AND IN THE BED- THE WIND HELPED ME A LITTLE ON THE SOWING- JUST MORE TO PULL LATER...



WE HAVE LEAVES ON THE WALNUT!


SEDUM- IT CAN ONLY BE KILLED BY FLOOD- THIS IS SO EASY TO GROW AND ALWAYS LOOKS SO NICE ALL YEAR LONG-




THE FRONT FLOWER BED IS FILLING IN ALREADY...MAY NOT NEED TO BUY MUCH THIS YEAR AT ALL...
THESE ARE DAY LILLIES- ORANGE- THAT WE MOVED HERE LAST YEAR FROM THE SOUTH YARD THAT WAS HIT SO BAD BY THE FLOOD...THE LILLIES WERE THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY ENJOYED THE FLOOD WATER...

COLUMBINE WITH LITTLE BUDS ON IT - THE HUMMING BIRDS LOVE THIS...


ITS NICE TO SEE IT FILLING IN...



MY LITTLE BITTY LILAC- JUST A SHOOT TRANSPLANTED LAST YEAR... IT WILL BE AWHILE BEFORE IT BLOOMS...

JUST A LITTLE RAIN AND SOME REALLY WARM DAYS AND NIGHTS AND WE GET GREENER ON THE PRAIRIE...
