been playing around with a new program...

and this is what I came up with...

still not real comfortable doing this one...

just not used to it...

but some of them came out pretty good...

I have a lot more practicing to do...

so will save that for my rainy day times...

figured out that I am allergic to the cat litter we were using...

switched that out last night and am much better...

still have the cold thingy going on...

but the watering eyes and dripping nose has stopped...

we had a rainy day yesterday, but hoping for a better weekend...

I have got so much to catch up on here...

laundry, cleaning...

the fun stuff that didn't magically go away...

I have no idea what we will be doing this weekend...

we really need to be getting the easter basket stuff and all that...

we have an April 1st birthday, too...

the oldest will be 34 this year...

so we need to be getting in gear with all of that before it happens and I'm not ready...

wouldn't be the first time...

;0)

no wonder my mom and grandparents just handed me a check for holidays...

I still have no clue where I got the shopping gene from...

it wasn't from them...

;0)

online rummage sales are awesome and purple finches are back!

I got this last week...

perfect for a fairy garden...

which I have wanted to do for years and just didn't happen...

super cute for a boy bear...

and a girl bear...

vintage linens...

my weakness...

and I found these so cheap...

they are medium size, like 14 inches tall...

with curved glass and all...

thought they were resin frames...

but they are heavy metal...

was going to paint them, but now, I think it would be a shame to...

can't decide...

just waiting for this cold to pass...

and go away...

none of us are at 100% yet...

but we're getting there...

the first day of spring is upon us...

and I will face it, kleenex in hand, if I must!

so ready to do more than sneeze, dribble and sleep!

;0)

have good days!

doing better here...

getting as much rest and vitamin C as I can...

we have turned off chilly here, but the weekend looks promising...

so aiming for feeling all better by the end of the week...

the snot factory has slowed down to a dull roar...

so here are some more photos from last Sunday's drive...

our town lake as its own small dam...

and with the melt off and a bit of rain...

the water is coming over the top again...

the guys pitched in last night after supper and we got a lot of things done...

cleaning and dishes...

laundry and vacuuming...

sweeping and poop scooping...

its not to the point where I would want to host a party in...

but its comfortable again...

;0 )

so, going to hit it slowly today...

and see what I can get done and let the rest go...

if I get tired, I will lay down...

I am so grateful that I didn't have the stomach flu and this head cold at the same time...

that would have been so much fun...

so...

have a fantastic day...

and enjoy spring!

one day closer...

to being over this head cold...

I have almost lost my voice now...

which the guys were happy dancing about...

another old barn...

trying to get these images before they are gone...

5-10 years from now, they probably won't be there...

we were in the upper 70s yesterday...

and I did go out and sit in the side yard for a little bit before supper...

hope you are warming up where you are....

and the sun is shining for you...

because it sure felt good sitting in it...

take my cold meds...

eating my fruit...

drinking fluids...

and resting as much as I can...

every day brings me closer to it being gone...

have a good day

I hate snot...

what I had last week is gone...

what Craig had last week...

has found me...

I spent most of yesterday under the influence of cold meds...

in bed...

and will probably be there much of today, too...

but, DH got me out for a ride yesterday at noon...

and I got some great shots out of the ride...

the creeks and streams are swollen, but not over flowing...

we saw a few places where the water had been over the roads...

from to big melt last week...

and we didn't get that much rain, about an inch...

so it could handle that...

no, the ground is still soggy...

and not to be driven on...

so don't get off of the roads or you will bury to the axles...

I got enough photos for the whole week...

and DH promised that when the weather is better...

and we get over this snot production we have going on...

he will take me on further road trips...

they say we are going to see 75 today...

so need to get the deck cleaned off so I can sit out there...

its about time for Missy to go to her home and Hopper will be leaving soon, too, for his new home with my oldest son...

didn't get a thing done on Sunday...

so have to try to just get through the week without this place turning into a disaster  zone...

;0 )

hope you have a beautiful, spring day...
