5 more days until spring...

spring is the time for new babies...
and I can't wait until my trees and bushes are full of little ones...
and babies trying their wings...
may we not rush through the days and take time to enjoy each day we are given...
slow down and listen to all the life around us...

I have so missed the singing birds and the summer breezes...
leaves waving overhead...
and this spring will be sweeter than last...
because the winter was so long...
I started ordering my bedding plants today...

begonias and wave petunias...
blue salvia...
snap dragons...
my favorites...
along with dahlias...

won't it be fun?
playing in dirt...
pulling weeds...
watering again?
I am so ready to GO GREEN!

Daylight Saving's casualty...

see the big space?
my clock...
passed away at 1:55 this afternoon...
he will be sorely missed...
DH changed the time on it Sunday...
it's his job...
and he failed...
to secure it properly...
and while Craig and I were in the kitchen making veggie soup and cleaning up our mess...
there was a bang and glass breaking noises...
and the clock was behind the entertainment center...
it will be replaced...
and DH is paying for it...
I have a few already picked out...
and it's not going to be cheap...
because this happened once before...
and I lived with a broken frame for a couple years...
the pieces, minus the glass, are propped up in his recliner...
so he will see it as soon as he comes in...
may even make a little note saying something like it's time to buy a new clock...
LOL...
the one I found like this one is $131, so I am going to have some fun scaring him a little...
and then we are going to fire him as the time changer...
we will tease him so much and there will be clock jokes flying around here for weeks...
so if you have any broken clock jokes, leave a comment...
and now the new look in the living room...
and it is a little darker with them closed...
but we will be able to watch tv and movies without the sunspot...
and we can open them when we are not watching tv...
still gloomy out, but green stuff is happening...
and we have so much to do...
starting tomorrow...
can you believe they said we could have S*#@ flurries today?
silly, silly weathermen...
this is as bright as the sun got all day...
it really tried...
but tomorrow will be warmer...
and sunnier...
and it finally got up to 41, but the wind is really chilly...
Craig and I had a goof off day...
I felt really good but I didn't want to do nothing...
we finished the kitchen last night...
today I just wanted to finish up a couple of really small jobs...
and got those done...
we will hit it again tomorrow...
maybe some crafting...
have a couple semi ideas floating around in my pea brain...
need to do something before I forget them...
and I have a problem...
I have a baby blanket that was mine when I was a baby...
but it smells like moth balls...
washed it 1st just with wisk and oxyclean...
still stunk...
then washed it with Mr Clean with Febreeze...
oh, it still smells...
any idea how to get that moth ball smell out...
it has been packed away a good 45 years and my mom used moth balls like you wouldn't believe...
I have thought about vinegar...
baking soda...
but I don't want to wash it very may more times, because it could start falling apart...
so if you have any ideas...
I would appreciate them...

Have a great night...

I found my style...

I love this...
I could dress like this every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it...
but they don't sell it at Wally World!
doesn't it just scream Little Bo Peep?
would you wear this?
tell me I'm not the only one...
