been playing around again...

haven't made any of these for awhile now...

take what you want...

home alone again...

cloudy and chilly out...

a good day for reflection...

prayer...

thoughts...

here are mine so far today...

;)

some newbies and some oldies...

there was just one of these earlier yesterday morning...

then in the afternoon, another one showed up...

blue buntings...

and then this guy...

I have no idea...

and the drizzle we had going on finally stopped...

and Craig and I went for a walk...

really dumb idea...

it was cold and windy...

but I did get some photos...

had to make it worth the trip out there...

iris...

peonies...

day lilies, a single lily and iris...

see, I told you it was growing by leaps and bounds...

and so much new is happening over night now...

the sun wasn't out for their photos...

it stayed cloudy almost all day...

and then just before supper...

the sun came out...

Craig filling the bird feeders...

Lester...

upside down...

this is one strange cat...

and kid...

Hermie was there, too...

and all our boys...

Mr Wiggles had to make sure they had the signals right for the next pouncing...

and the sun was gone again, just like that...

and after all the cats came in and were napping...

and the birds had gone to their nests...

I had another visitor...

can you see him?

he is huge...

and he was eating the bird seed!

if you put it out...

they will come...

this is not the typical color of our local bunnies...

and he is really larger than the ones we always have...

kids without a lot of money and room to house big livestock...

raise bunnies and chickens for 4H and to take to the fair at the end of the summer...

I wonder if someone is missing one?

didn't do the chili...

DH brought home whoppers and onion rings...

worked for me...

I had forgot it was his last day of PT at the hospital...

and he did a Kroger run while he was there...

we have fresh strawberries now and green beans again...

doing the chili on Friday...

or tomorrow...

got a lot done today...

washed the curtains and windows in the living room...

cleaned the litter box and did laundry...

just kept busy all day...

even got a nap in...

probably a down day today...

;)

still need to read those books sitting around here...

might just have to work on that...

got some sewing to do, too...

have a good day whatever you do...

and smile...

;)

its raining again...

Hermie...

its really hard to find a seat on the deck these days...

and this was the first time in a long time that it wasn't covered with bodies of some sort...

and there is the cold front coming in last night...

got up to 41 this morning and its not warming up at all...

I have buds on the columbine already...

and see there?

those are the iris buds...

it won't be long...

and on our walk last night after supper...

Bebe found some of his friends playing outside...

and no matter how busy they are...

they always have the time for an old dog...

and he loves it!

and as a light drizzle is going on, I looked out and so my old friend...

he is much smaller that the sparrows...

my first sighting this year...

I love the blue buntings...

my camera will not focus well on dark days...

so when the weather clears, I will post better photos of him...

got Craig home today so we are washing the curtains in the living room and then a load of whites...

need to figure something out for supper...

haven't a clue, but have to do something...

we cleared out the left overs last night...

I am thinking about chili on this cold, drizzly day...

y'all have a wonderful day...

God has blessed us with so much...

take a moment and thank Him!

;)

you never know what you will find when you pop in here...

before a thought happened...

the thought...

after the thought...

parchment paper...

3 sheets strung together with my favorite tape...

and placed in the china cabinet...

with just a tad of 2 way tape...

and its not finished...

there's more to the thought...

just have to find what will fill the vision I have...

DH doesn't want me to paint his mother's china cabinet and I don't want to do that either...

but it needs to be lightened up inside...

and this morning at the feeder...

got a chance of thunderstorms later...

but so far, its been a really nice day with the windows open...

and my forsythia never did turn bright yellow...

it just went green...

I think when it had the buds on is when we had those 2 very cold nights...

in the low 30s and a heavy frost both nights...

I have to wait a whole year for yellow now...

;(

oh well, still not as bad as others have it today...

at least its still there...

and we haven't been asked to start over...

hope you are having a good day...

not a bad one here...

waiting for the guys to get off of work...

maybe I will even cook them supper...

maybe...

;)

its raining tonight as I post this...

mums...

we didn't get the very bad storms here...

praying for those who did...

knock out rose...

but we have gotten some really good rain...

without the flooding, so far...

columbine...

and everything just shot up over night...

cone flower...

had a down day today...

did too much yesterday...

so taking tomorrow for a rest day, too...

Bebe...

he turned 15 last month...

grape hyacinths...

both guys are working tomorrow so Bebe and I can nap all day if we want to...

lilies...

it has cooled off with the front moving through...

lily of the valley...

and I am thinking chili would be good sometime this week while we are in the 50s...

ferns...

got my blood sugar under control and am on day 5 of no metformin at all...

most of my daffodils are spent...

too wet to go out and dead head yet...

Craig is off Wednesday, so I will get them done then...

I miss them already...

April has flown by so fast...

I can't believe its almost gone...

that May 1st is coming...

now that its warmer, time can slow down a bit!

hope you all had a good Monday...

and that tomorrow is even better!

hugs!

;)
