this is my favorite option...retro...

choice number 3...

so what do you think?...I do not want something that everyone else has...I do not like the 70's carriage lights at all...and I like the darker ones...rubbed bronze...

so vote now and tell me your favorite...

weekend chores...

cleaning out the flower beds...daffodils are up...
lilies and iris...

the sedum, too...is it spring yet?

it's coming...

it won't be long...floppy ears will soon be here...

the clouds have come...but no rain...

Doofus really enjoyed the sunshine and the wicker chair...so much that he forgot to come in Friday night...we were worried...looked everywhere...checked with the neighbors...nothing...he finally showed up last night about 9pm...hungry...but ok...
the guys got the flower beds raked off...so much is coming up...

and we dug the scarecrows out of the shed...

and a purple crocus opened...

my dad is being naughty...he was so cranky and saying really bad things...

its the stroke...its not like him...

its not easy on my step mom...

they have been together 25 years...

she's not ready for it to be over...but its so hard to live with it like things are now...

she is the greatest step mom...

remember her this week...we need for God to cover each step she takes...

and to ease every bad word from my dad's lips...

his mind is not completely gone...its just so messed up...

and every now and then...he comes out...but not often enough...

this week has been beautiful...

mr wiggles loves tanning...
my step mom called late last night and she and dad are adjusting to him being in the nursing home...

he had a really good first day there...

and she finally got some of the sleep she needed...

I got my new star lights put up yesterday...

the lilac is budding...just look at the green...

and the grass will need mowed before we know it...

the crosses around the yard are aging wonderfully...

and I found a surprise bloomer...

it's not quite time to turn the birdbath yet...we could still get some freezing weather...

and then I found another bunch...and the tulips are up...they will follow the crocus in bloom...

hope your day is sunny and you can soak up some rays...we got rain coming in this weekend...the flowers need watering...
