its been such a beautiful day!

every time I go out, there is something new...
I am not sure how many of these we planted, but they are just popping up all over...

and we cleaned an area out after lunch...
I did go back to bed this morning and slept late...

got all the leaves and some old plants out of here...
thinking I might want to wait before planting it, though...
after all, its not april yet...

all taken apart, raked and put back...

a few things moved around...

so glad I got some of these from my father in laws before he sold the house...

clematis...
yeah!

I love this color for spring...

even did my egg tree last night...

lilac...
amazing...

Chris and my son, Craig...
they have been friends since kindergarten...
Chris's mom is the math teacher at the high school...


Doug and a frog for protection...
he forgot to wear green...
yeah, we are a pinching bunch...
I got it this morning in the shower...
like, that's not really fair...

this evening we have thunderstorms heading for us...

I need to call the mower guy...

we could hear the thunder...

to show you how far along we are this spring, here are two photos from the last couple of years...
this one is from 2010...

and this one is last year...
this is how is normally looks around here...

and I have been thinking this week, as I sit in the yard or look out the windows...
that this spring might be someone's answer to prayer...
somewhere, there are those who are having their last spring...
their last month...
their last week...
their last day...
maybe someone asked for one more spring...
I like to think that God moved Heaven and Earth to answer someone's last wish...
you know, He's awesome like that...
;)
can you see His hand in this?
I do...

have a great evening...

Good Evening Tete Sweetie...
A beautiful write today, so touched my heart in a special way. Thank you for that.

I love walking through your gardens with you. They are just glorious. They are singing their praises today aren't they? Love seeing the little crocus, can't wait to see them start popping up all over for you. My blooms make me so happy.

Pinched in the shower hu? I guess we should have purchased one of those green puffs for washing. Darn.

Well happy to hear that you had a beautiful day sweet one. Thank you for blessing me with your Easter egg tree as well. I love that.

Many hugs and much love, Sherry

I am so glad you had a good day, Tete (rhymes with Pete) and that you did go back to bed and got a bit of extra rest this morning.

It's fun to see your boy with is friend..and know that they are still friends since being little kids on.

Now..I am assuming that you told us you got pinched in the shower because you wanted us to know that you didn't have any MOLD on you?;>) xo Diana

LOL Diana, you are a card....or something.

Tete, yes, it is someone's last days on earth, one of them, I'm afraid, is a friend of ours from church, and I know he loves spring.
