goofy day...

it started out gray and sprinkling...

but not too bad...

then it quit...

so Craig and I went for a walk...

an angel came down and tapped me on the head sometime in the night...

cuz I'm all better now...

and we saw some purple showing....

but they have not opened...

I was hoping they would be by today...

and the peonies are still closed up...

but we got some snap dragons yesterday...

and marigolds...

and more rose moss...

yellow rose moss...

and  a pink wave petunia...

and it started doing this again...

so back inside...

then it quit...

so we ran back out and got the flowers planted...

and then it poured...

and it quit again...

new marigolds...

that crazy geranium...

it could glow in the dark ,I think...

and marigolds and snap dragons in the flower bed...

and I have 3 roses that will open soon...

so with the outside work done...

Craig went to get a shower and DH and I took off for a big walk...

the walnut is always late leafing out...

and we went south first and then back north...

the green is finally filling in...

and the sun was shining...

and it's 68 out!

perfect kind of a day...

and then we were coming back and Boofy had a surprise for us...

warning...

do not enlarge this photo if you are petrified of snakes...

or oppose killing them...

my hero is doing just that...

DH and I are totally terrified of snakes...

Boofy found this in the neighbor's yard and brought it home...

she had it chewed up pretty good...

but because Craig was in the shower...

and I'm not able to do it myself anymore...

DH killed his first snake...

then we came in and DH made us a late breakfast while I talked to one of my lady friends on the phone...

she is elderly and not too well herself...

Craig goes and feeds her dog now on days when no one stops by to see her...

then we went back out and walked around a bit...

back in to tag things to go into the booth...

got a box full and need to find a few more things that I want to go in...

then we went through the store ad...

then...

there's a lot of thens on this post- sorry...

we all went to the store...

the guys put my chair in the back of the truck and away we went...

it's been 18 months  to 2 years since I was in a store...

Craig pushed me and DH had the cart...

I found apricot jello...

I saw birthday cake ice cream...

but opted out for bomb pops...

sore throat and all...

I saw cookies...

but got an orange cake for Mother's day...

we are going to bake that later tonight...

I got reeses cups and a hershey bar...

strawberry kiwi juice...

pringles...

they had taco stuff on sale...

so that will be this week...

hamburger...

cheese...

I need to go back...

I didn't have time to look at everything...

but I did find strawberry muffin mix...

we had 2 blue berry ones in the cabinet...

but I think I want to try this first...

they had strawberries on sale...

so I think it would be good to pour fresh strawberries over the muffins...

we are doing farmers pie for Mother's Day...

it's what I want...

DH got him some italian beef out of the deli...

it was good...

but mine is better...

but it was good for him for lunch...

and now we have a thunderstorm warning until 10 pm...

but it's still sunny here...

so I'm out of here and going to find something to do outside...

have a great Mother's Day weekend...

and do something fun!

PS- I was very good today...

no more rummage sales...

I still have more to show you from yesterday...

Pink Saturday...remembering our mothers...

our mom's are no longer here on earth...

they are shining there now...

but all the years here are never forgotten...

forever cherished and treasured...

and until we meet again...

forever...

our moms...

Happy Mother's Day to all of you...

whether you carried a child within your body...

or you have carried a child within your heart...

bless my son...

of all days to get up sick...

but with the help of my son...

we rummaged 2 sales...

I have a bad cold, head and chest...

got up feeling miserable...

we knew we wanted to hit this one sale real bad...

so he got ready and I didn't have the energy...

so he loaded me in the van in my nightgown...

he held things up, signed the price and I told him yes or no...

some things are going in the booth...

some things are staying here...

50 cents!

curtains for my bathroom...

a whale paper weight for Craig...

and he got this for me since I love angels...

the only floral piece I got...

a wonderful basket...

I am going to use it for plastic store bags...

then I just sat outside off and on...

then took a nap...

finally got my shower this morning when we got back...

and just put another night gown back on...

this was the most perfect day so far...

the clouds were so poofy and the sky was so blue...

and it was 66...

and I missed most of it...

figures, right?

that's what I get for going out in the rain...

getting chilled to the bone too many times...

washing the car when it was 43 probably wasn't smart...

it is so nice to have something "common"...

it's not the fibro or the arthritis...

it's not the IBS...

it's just a cold...

and I feel rotten...

but it's a good rotten...

Craig was so good today...

and he helped me get everything cleaned up...

didn't get it priced...

but that can happen tomorrow...

he fed me all 3 meals...

gave me a wonderful neck massage...

and he's plugging in the electric blanket in the living room so I can lay down on the couch in a few minutes...

I will check in on all of you tomorrow...

have a good night and sweet dreams...

more images...

pretty in white...

love the realistic fruit with blemishes and worm holes...

take what you want...

enjoy...

the rain is coming in soon...

been a long day, even if we did get up late...

the cotton wood fuzz is all over here...

I need to slow down a little bit...

columbine coming up where we really don't want it...

how many pedals so you think this old bike went through?

and I'm hoping to have this planted in wave petunias...

need to clean it out first...

just glad the birds didn't make a nest in here...

Doug brought our truck back this afternoon and stayed for supper...

BBQ pork chops, baked potatoes and veggies...

spokes have always fascinated me...

and now for some shadows...

and pretty color...

our mower guy's helper mowed today and he brought his brother who was visiting from Wisconsin...

I told him I had blogging friends up north who are waiting for their spring and he laughed and said it might happen by the time he gets back home...

he was enjoying his time here...

we just had our last cooler day, I hope...

they are calling for 80s next week...

I just want a happy medium...

70s from here until October...

hope you all have a great evening...

I think I am going to go change into my night gown and take it easy...

maybe an early night since I missed my nap...

I'm already yawning...
