blue skies and puffy clouds make a day happy...
look at all of them...
and they just keep coming...
I know for sure that Sherry sent them to me from Phoenix...
and a few looked like they had drunk up all the puddles...
but they just passed on by...
and they took the rain out of today and tonight...
clear tomorrow, too...
and we won't even talk about later in the week...
Boofy is chasing Robbie's leash...
he can't get very far and she is pouncing on him...
she's our best baby sitter...
Doofus and Mr Wiggles play it safe on the table and Bebe is looking to a good place to potty...
Daphne took my seat...
so I went for a walk...
and we ended up here...
so much to clean up yet...
do you see that stinkin' old grill?
ugh!
it is going...
shhhhhh....
it's a secret...
I'm buying DH a new one...
a nice one...
he doesn't like gas grills...
he likes charcoal...
but they make nice ones...
but he's cheap...
I'm not...
more to rake...
and I sat in the sun and watch Craig do it...
I was very good and didn't pick up the rake one time...
I got a start on my tan today...
isn't that just the prettiest sky ever?
while we were out here...
we heard a hawk several times...
but I never did see him...
gardening 101...
the kind of hoe you use is important...
and this is the very best kind to have...
if you have never tried one of these...
go for it...
you will never go back to the other kind...
remember the photos earlier today?
and what was buzzing around those crocus?
yep...
bees...
stupid kitty almost caught her one, too...
I had a black and white tuxedo when I was kid who caught a bumble bee on his first spring day...
I ended up watching a Perry Como special in the kitchen holding an ice cube on his lip all evening...
thought I was going to be doing that again tonight...
but she missed...
these new cheaper than cheap new rakes are the best we have had in a long time...
it is looking more like a flower bed now...
an oops...
now aren't you glad you stayed for the whole show?
I love sunlight through the petals of a flower...
we will get the leaves out of here later...
we did not want to disturb the bees...
it's been a long winter for them and then need the new food...
and the flowers need them to walk around in them, too...
in a month, this will be so full...
I had Craig just put all of these leaves on the garden spot where we plant the corn and green beans to hopefully keep the weeds down until we turn this area over...
I can't believe how many cart fulls come out of the beds every year...
there is still more to do and bigger limbs to haul to the back...
but I think we have the important beds uncovered now so things can come up...
I didn't want Craig doing too much...
so that's where we stopped...
see...
better...
but there's always more...
Craig went to hardware store and got my bolts...
I fixed the wheel chair in the living room floor and then we went for a walk this afternoon...
talked to some neighbors...
back home...
and announcing that it's officially spring...
I plucked this afternoon...
chin hairs and all...
tried the nads on the upper lip...
it got about 2/3 of it...
shaved the rest...
so now I am ready to meet and greet again...
I don't bother in the winter...
and the boob cancer doctors won't let me shave my armpits...
so there's no point in only being half italian until I have to be...
if this weather keeps up...
I may even shave my legs...
now combine that with yesterday's image and you have a winner...
I sure hope all of you are having a pretty day too!
We so deserve it!
