allergies...

dianthus in the wash tub...

dianthus are all from last year...

filling in...

these are in the bed...

lily of the valley...

my mother in law's...

my mom's ferns...

and a little something DH picked up while shopping yesterday...

I did not go...

we got up to WIND...

big, strong wind...

and I do not do good in wind at all...

so I opted to stay home...

and clean house...

but we did take a few walks...

and today...

the wind and allergies caught up to me...

nose running...

eyes watering...

low grade fever...

just a yucky feeling all over...

so I haven't been on here much...

been sleeping mostly...

and some tidying up...

my bestie is coming by tonight...

she should be here any time...

and then I am taking a shower and heading for bed...

be back tomorrow...

the sun came out...

after 2 days of cloudy dreary skies...

I looked up from the computer to find sun spots in the yard...

so out we went for a walk...

everything needed watered so bad...

and we got good soaking rain...

Bebe and his faux trap door jammies...

I caught reflections of the clouds...

in a couple puddles in the road...

you can see some slight damage from the freezes we've had...

and the sun shining through the leaves...

these will probably be done as the next batch starts opening...

and the peonies should open by the end of the week...

went to bed at 9 last night...

after talking to my girl on the phone forever...

we were shopping online together...

she was on Craig's list and I was checking out Pier One...

hopping over to Paris today...

CVS, Kroger and Burger King...

a trip around the parking lot at Walmart to see if there are any plants I NEED...

and then to Rural King...

they have a cooler than cool garden center...

I have a mental list...

bayberry, rose of sharon...

roses...

of course...

I only have 2, so its time to get with the program...

need a yellow one...

asian lilies...

well, its only 3am...

so I may sneak back to bed for a bit...

so, have a fun day today...

and I will be back with the details...

and a whopper...

we've got our rain...

so we played inside most of the day...

re did the mantle...

easter stuff gone...

spring stuff still out...

the new sign on the right was a gift from one of my sisters for easter...

isn't it cool?

and we have our green back...

and these, too...

almost everything did just fine with 2 nights of freezing temps...

mostly we have problems with the walnuts...

the "late" bloomers...

and now I know why they wait to come out...

lilac...

columbine...

I love the grass when its this green...

and I love reflections in mud puddles...

Mr Wiggles and Tory went for our walk with us this morning...

in between the showers...

knock out rose...

but today I will have to be happy with the blooms indoors...

no walk for awhile, still coming down...

but we might take a drive just to get out a bit...

have a great night...

rain is coming...

there was a bit of sun early this morning...

but that all changed and the rest of the day was cloud covered...

on our first walk this morning...

we ended up talking to all but 2 of our neighbors...

it took us 2 hours to go a block and back...

it was sunny when we started out...

but with the clouds moving in, it soon became chilly...

and I was a bit cold when we got back...

it was good seeing everyone and getting caught up...

we even ran into an old neighbor...

he has moved to his parents farmhouse...

and his son now lives in his...

so some things that I had planned on doing...

didn't get done...

but there's always the weekend to get to those things...

DH is working today...

so, it will feel like a Friday anyway...

Craig's friend Chris was here...

and we ate fish dinners from the cafe...

well...on my way to bed for the second time...

night?

morning?

sew ready...

I found these yesterday piddle fartin' around on here...

the last 2 nights it got below freezing...

sew...

its not quite time for this...

yet...

but soon...

very soon!
