they finally opened...

isn't that worth waiting for?

my old neighbor gave me these...

they are just huge this year...

we had clouds roll through all day...

and the wind is something...

but we only got like 30 seconds of rain...

so far...

it was the biggest drops ever and soaked everything in that short of time...

I got in 5 walks today...

or as DH pointed out tonight...
they walk while I ride...

and there was a little feud going on at the feeder today...

Mr. Cardinal didn't want to share...
even though there was a pile of food there...
and its big enough for many butts to be in there at once...

carrots and radishes...

parsley...

Elmer...
this one is a different breed...

and homemade cookies tonight...

and not toll house, either...

not in my house...
these are so much better...

look up Mrs. Fields' chocolate chip cookie recipe...
one batch and you'll never bake any other...

I'm on my second bunch...
we like them hot out of the oven...

we are in a tornado watch until 1am...
praying for God's protection for us, our home, our land and our town...
may this all pass over us and lessen as it gets here...
stay safe and stay alert...
and keep praying...
;)


last night after supper...

I weeded...

and took pictures...

weeding is the best part about gardening...

its peaceful...

calming...

you just need to take your time and enjoy it...

its play time...
not work...

but I do use it for my upper body workout...

there's nothing like getting dirt under your nails...

Tory tried to scoot me off of my carpet sample...
when I wouldn't budge...
he settled in behind me...

the wheel barrow is now pink and white...
but it needs a few more touch ups before it gets any dirt in it...

it was a nice, warm evening...
windy and fun...
just taking some time to be outside before the rain comes in...
its already cloudy this morning...
at least we saw the sun one day...
got plans for making rice and chinese today...
a meatloaf, maybe, too...
cookie dough...

have a good day where you are...
;)
