All before 9AM...

we got up early...cleaned the living room...then went for a drive...
everything is so greeeennnnn....

and the farmers have been busy planting corn...

and things are blooming everywhere...

with pretty colors...

the lilacs are open...

and some trees blew down last night...

they were here and there...

but one was only the next house south...

but we are ok...

and some things are starting to bloom...

meanwhile...there's something snoring on the couch...Craig got up at 4AM...

he took over the end table...finals are next week...

Steve found some outdoor lights at Menard's on sale in their flyer...

so he took off for Walmart for an ad match...

which left me alone with the snorer and my camera...

Georgie loves rainy days...

and my new cake stands...Rebecca found these at Aldi's for $6...

I told her to nab me 2 more...

and finally...I worked the bugs out...pun intended...of the bottle bugs...

he has black button eyes and yellow inners...

I only have nine more to do...

I think its ready for production...

I'm going to grab a nap and wait for Steve to get back...

HAVE A LAZY DAY!

my new collage...

I am putting this one in frames to sell...

I really like this one...

I think I will do one for me while I'm at it...

Just a taste of things to come...

triple H has their flowers in...
its too early to set these out yet...
they are going in the cold frames for just a little while...
until the nights are a little warmer...

I took a lot of photos to make sure I got some that came out ok...

they all came out fine...but I couldn't decide which ones to use...

so I'm posting them all!

enjoy...

now aren't you ready to do some gardening???

Its going to be another rainy day in our area...

probably a good morning to sleep in...

but I'm not...

Steve was up once but went back to bed...

do I dare run the vacuum this early???

maybe not...

its still dark out...

made a couple more collages...

can't make anymore hang tags...

the glue stick went dry late last night...

I could call Rebecca...

I'm sure her Maggie has already gotten her up...

Maggie is a one of a kind little dog...

and she can't tell time...

but just in case Maggie did let her sleep...

I would hate to be the one to mess that up...

so maybe not...

by the time the guys get up...

it will be nap time...

woe is me...

so early in the morning...

What can you do without power and its time to do supper???

Craig took a nap...

Steve ate and laid down...

I had a friend call and we killed some time there...

thank goodness its back on...its too quiet without all the noise that goes on here...

we lost power for a couple hours...

5ish to 7ish...

the power co said it would be back on by 9...

thankfully we didn't have to wait that long...

got my basket ready to go into Kyle's in the morning...

he was going to mow this evening...first time this year...

he's making hay...

but he will be there in the morning and is glad to get some new smalls in there...

have a great night!
