we had some rain through the night...

but we had to get some of this done anyway...

nothing like playing in the mud!

you don't even want to see my shoes!

Hopper...

lovin' some screen...

he watched us most of the time...

tiny viola are everywhere and the clover is blooming...

this is my dwarf lilac...

and the tulips are popping up here, there,

and yonder!

its so good to be warm again...

even if the bugs are already here...

going slow and sure this weekend...

we only have Saturday to work outside...

Sunday will be rainy...

I hope your weekend is fun and you get done what you need to...

are you buying plants yet?

not me...

but soon...

;0)

so much is happening so fast...

the lilacs are about to bloom...

it was really had getting photos this afternoon...

the wind was blowing hard out there...

but this morning, the tulips began opening up...

and all the fun things are starting to happen...

lily of the valley...

columbine...

daffodils are still hanging in there...

the tarp needed some help staying on...

so DH went out to tie it back down today...

Doug and Paula bought this late last fall so they can get more camping in this year...

its in great shape and she is going to do some decorating inside to make it homey...

found out grass pollen has been extremely high here...

no wonder I have a nose problem...

we actually could use some rain...

the beds have cracks in them...

hope you have a super day...

spring in our town...

just wanted to share how pretty spring is here...

just a quick trip down a few streets...

so grab your coffee and enjoy...

I hope you had fun this morning...

still trying to get caught up here...

hope you have a great day!

so, here is spring at our house...

its just coming up so fast...

and we still don't have all the beds cleaned out real good...

but its always a work in progress...

and the housework is suffering...

but it will be there later and on rainy days...

these were given to me by my late father in law...

and I plan on passing them down to the kids when they get their own homes...

and I am still sore and achy...

and I can't wait until I get that all worked out and in gardening shape...

a lot of the tulips are up, but no color showing yet...

and the mower guy got a new $13,000 mower...

and it makes the yard look really nice...

this is a good place to sit and rest...

the day lilies are getting taller...

and this is my little jungle area...

and I think it will make a great place for my fairy garden...

I just need to find some fairies...

or make them...

so, how does your garden grow?

;0)

the weekend was too short!

you know that I don't get around blogland like I used to...

but there are several reasons for that...

I have been spending my morning wake up time with these guys...

these are my edited version of photos posted on facebook by local dog rescues...

I take their photos and 'fix' them...

then post them back in the comments...

I never know how many there will be a day...

but, when they go up, I get in there and do what I do...

and its awesome to be asked to do something that I can do...

everyone of these pretty babies needs a home...

and if what I do helps in that...

then its a good morning in my photo editor...

whatever talents you have...

skills you think aren't that special...

take them and use them for something wonderful...

give back...

even the littlest things help...

like fixing photos or hitting the share button...

;0)

have a fun day, even if its a rainy one...

its going to be a down day for me...

too much fun over the weekend...

;0)

and I have picks of that...

for later...
