more images...

here are a few more images from my folder...

I am part Irish, Scottish and Cherokee...

I have Irish from my mom's side...

Scottish from both...

and Cherokee from my dad's side...

there is also some prussian in there from doing my genealogy...

from my grandmother's family on my dad's side...

what are you made up of?

Psalms 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

a Sunday afternoon...

clearing the debis of the winter ice storms...

DH thought it would take 4-5 hours to get the yard cleaned up...

now he thinks 4-5 days...

I think more than that...

Robbie helped...

we didn't get a chance to burn last years remains...

it was either too windy or raining...

so that had to go first...

and it is  a dreary looking day...

but you can see the trees are budding out now...

the planting will begin soon enough...

and this will turn green...

looking for little bits of green...

but not yet...

so much to do and clean...

we will be mowing in 2 weeks...

can you imagine?

we have 60 plus days coming the end of this week...

maybe we will have bloomers soon, too...

a pot of potato soup for my supper...

the guys are having pork chops...

it's been a restful, peaceful day...

a little more cleaning on the kitchen...

the other half of the living room drapes up...

need to do a lot of sorting and some more crafting this week...

the kitchen is brighter even if the sun isn't out...

so it's a happy room and cozy place to be...

just moving from one little job to the next...

there's no hurry...

not yet...

Hugs- Tete

Good Morning!

when I couldn't sleep last night...

I grabbed my new issue of Birds and Blooms...

and I fell in love with this...

gentle walkways through sectioned off beds...

and then I went to bed...

and woke at 4:30am to robins singing again...

and I smiled and stretched and closed my eyes...

and then it was 8:30- old time...

9:30 am with the clocks changed...

and I slept good...

today is totally the opposite of yesterday...

it's cloudy and only 30 out...

and all I have got done this morning is blowing my nose, breakfast and my toe nails cut...

I decided I needed my socks on and snagged a sweater, too...

trying to get some caffeine in me...

it was a good day to sleep in...

usually the animals are all over me to get up...

enjoy this version of Blessed Assurance this morning...

it's by Randy Travis...

and I think...

the prettiest version I have ever heard...

we used to get ready for church every Sunday morning listening to this song...

it was the opening hymn for a local christian show...

it was just something that played in the background during all the hustle and bustle of getting dressed, buckling up my dress shoes and finding my bible...

mom and dad bought me a little white one for Easter one year so I could have one to take to Sunday School...

before that, I used my mom's little zipper one...

but it was so yellowed...

now they are both yellowed from the years...

and stashed away in a keepsake box...

and with the passing of family...

I seem to get the bibles...

because the ones gone on before me weren't famous or rich by any means on earth...

but they were all Christians...

they laid a foundation for the rest of us to follow...

so, Happy Sunday morning to you...

may your day be blessed...
