Happy March!

March even looks better outside...
still cold out...
but the sun is shining today...
yucca...
2 yucca where one was planted 2 years ago...
we have no clue what it is or where it came from...
had to be squirrels or bunnies...
laying out right in the middle of no where...
we'll stick in the ground somewhere and see what happens...
iris...
cardinal...
they live in the bushes out front...
spent cone flowers...
all the seeds are gone now...

Craig is 100% recovered!...
can't get enough to eat today...
that's all he has done!

I'm doing ok...
spice cake was not my friend...

got bills paid and things ready for the booth...
inventory done...
found my safety pins...
hadn't used them in awhile so it was a small challenge...

the morning has gone by so fast...
so many blogs to visit...
don't have a clue for White Wednesday this week...
so just might not do one...
sometimes you just need a break, ya know?

hope everyone made it through the storms ok...
my cousin's daughter had a friend who lost his mom in flood waters in Ohio...
tried to drive through standing water and got flushed down stream...
they found her car and body this morning...
that family is sure needing some prayers...

found this song that is playing...
had not heard it before but I like it...


Easter images...

went to bed too early...
now I'm back up again...
so more Easter images coming at ya!

I haven't been posting any food photos lately...

so here's my vegetable soup...
a spice cake in my new cake pan...
it worked wonderfully without spraying it with baker's secret...
love it...
faberware...
the same as my new skillet...
topped with cream cheese icing...
betty crocker...
mini brownies tomorrow if Craig and I are up to it...
Craig is doing much better tonight...
thank you for all your prayers...
he's kept down a bowl of cereal and 2 little bowls of soup today...
no fever tonight...
my boil is doing good...
had my shower after supper and a new dressing put on...
Craig and I still had a good oops day...
we laughed, talked and worked together to get what done what needed done...
the rest can wait until later...
I need to get DH to do my PT...
Craig didn't feel up to doing that...
it's back down to 31...
and I don't think I'm going to be doing silk flowers...
no one will let me get away with anything!

Easter images...

I love this one!
it's just so cute...
I love the sun rays coming in the window and the soft colors...
pansies and easter lillies...

was up and down all night with the storms...
the stupid boil busted at 3:30am...
then sealed back up...
then it opened again at 6:30am...
showered, cleaned up, bandaged again...
and then back to bed...
slept until 11am...
keep Craig in your prayers today...
he threw up after his shower and now the other end is going...
there is a tummy flu bug going around here now...
we're just going to hang out today...
making veggie soup later...
I can do the food prep sitting down...
it's going to be so good for supper tonight...
OH!
last night when the storms went through it was 61...
2 hours later it was 39!
no wonder the storms were nasty!
it's 34 now...
I'm going to buy a truck load of silk flowers and stick them in the flower beds and all my pots...
I'm going to have spring one way or another...
Rebecca said if I do this, she will come and slap me...
she is not going to let me turn into a tacky old lady...
can you just see her pulling them all out in a flurry?
LOL
love my bestie!

my afternoon projects...

well, I started with these and the glue gun...
I love the pink... 
my big one came out great...
then when that was done...
I looked through my Holmes magazine...
and I found an article on fixing an old queen ann home...
pictures of it still in progress...
a labor of love...
I also found new products...
the guts to your toilet...
mine don't look like this...
but I am going to look into this...
our water bills average $70 a month...
and then this is on the back cover...
I would love the water to still come from the top when I use the hand held...
of course I would love a shower that sprayed your from every which way...
but that ain't happenin' here...
then I got some postcards ready to take into my cabinet...
and then...
something I have been putting off...
because there's always time to do it later...
right?
I collected my losers...
and put them in my little photo album...
I collect them for the graphics...
for my grandchildren and great grandchildren...
because at the rate my boys are going...
I will never meet them in person!
big hint here, guys...
I do not gamble...
I buy graphics...
and I am really said if it's a really cool one and it wins...
except the time I won $250...
Yeah, I went shopping...
it was right before Christmas and I had the shopping done...
so I grabbed DH and we went shopping for everyone again!
we actually got cooler stuff a week before Christmas...
and more of it....
cause they marked it all down...
but 99.9% of the time they are losers as far as money goes...
those are my true winners...
and maybe, just maybe...
they may be worth something to someone some day...

thunderstorms coming in...
I can hear it rumbling in the distance...
a sure sign of spring...
and maybe snow tomorrow...
but in the 40s, so it won't hang around long...
I think my nephew's birthday is tomorrow...
he was born on the 29th...
so when that doesn't happen...
I guess you get 2 days...
the one before and the one after...
