busy day, but not too productive for me...

our first iris this year!

I bought these from a friend before the sales started and Craig picked them up for me yesterday morning on his way out to look around...

I got up super sick...

to my stomach...

but he found this wheel barrow...

and this iron wall art and pots...

DH and I finally made it out and about...

took over an hour for me to do 3 sales...

so I just called it quits and came home...

the farmers were going full force out there...

and the dust was flying...

I did work out a bit...

sitting on my butt...

took all day to get a few things done...

but hoping today we can make to Paris to get our plants...

almost all the fields look like this now...

]

DH and I worked on these last night...

this will work unless I can find something better...

but this one is set for the season...

bib shorts and a flowery shirt...

screams garden chick to me...

a friend pm'd me late afternoon and said she still had a hay wagon full of stuff left over from the city wide and where it was...

all free...

go get what you want!

so we went and brought stuff home...

I will show you that tomorrow...

have a blessed day...

thankful the flare didn't last and that today is another day...

;)

Happy May Day!

another month under our belts...

we are to have the 70s back today...

some of the things I have been working on this week...

the lilac...

one of my favorites...

our city wide rummage sale is this weekend...

hoping to get out just a bit...

dwarf lilac...

we have some shaded areas now...

its not going to be fun picking all of these up...

I am looking forward to time with DH this weekend...

hoping we can be productive in the yard...

but if not...

oh well...

blessings to you...

;)

springtime is the time...

when our local shelters could use a little extra help...

its the time of birth...

and so many new litters will find their way there...

unwanted...

unable to be cared for...

needing loving homes...

and the shelters budgets are stretched to the limits...

so...

if you cleaning out closets and cabinets...

and you have old towels or bedding...

throw it in a bag and drop it off...

buy an extra can or two of food...

a bag of kitten chow...

got an old leash or collar laying around?

throw that in the bag, too...

garage sales this weekend?

buy the yucky old towels and dish towels no one else wants...

it might be the only thing between them and a concrete floor...

this little one is up for adoption at our local rescue now...

saved from a shelter and in a foster home...

as you know, I did a post on editing the photos for them and the shelters around here...

and I ran across this little one yesterday...

that just made me smile the whole time I worked on the images...

this one's ears seem to have a mind of their own...

;)

doesn't that face just make you giggle?

I know it will not take long to find a family for this one...

have a great day and remember the babies that are waiting...

;)

its warming up again...

sunrise on the island...

birds were singing and dining...

and it was a wonderful day...

just a tad chilly without a sweater...

I love sunny, long sleeved weather kind of days...

broke out the box of spray paint cans...

more on this later...

need to figure out what to do with them...

I have 2 of these and they are huge...

the other on is playing a harp...

the columbine are starting to bloom...

and the tulips and lilacs are still going...

the grass is so green and the trees are filling in...

the farmer planted the field behind us yesterday and sprayed...

beans this year...

pooh...

like the privacy of the corn...

but no matter...

the farmers are sure hitting the fields and we have a full week without rain in the forecast...

but its coming back here over the weekend...

got 3 home alone days and a list to watch on Netflex and 2 new books from the Goodwill trip last weekend...

and a sink of dishes and so many babies here...

I anticipate a lazy me day here...

what's your plans?

its been a few days...

I was so sick Friday that Craig even called in to take care of me...

stomach thingy and then full flare on top of that...

Saturday was much better, but all rain...

Doug, the oldest, had been to the walk in clinic and their doctor said he had fluid in the lungs...

but the pharmacy's computer wouldn't accept his script insurance card...

and it was $70 which he didn't have...

he got a hold of me on facebook Saturday morning...

so we got ready and headed for Walmart and picked it up for him...

did some shopping...

ran by and grabbed him some lunch on our way to his apartment...

and dropped off his inhaler...

she prescribed that and over the counter Claritin for it...

he had that...

so then we did lunch and hopped by the Goodwill...

this is where I think I will put the fairy garden...

if I can find a fairy!

is it like that movie...

it you build it, they will come?

just step out there on faith?

got some really great things at GW...

even a tigger for Charlie...

he LOVES it!

I got 2 long sleeve tops and 2 sweaters, half off...

a bunch of things to upcycle...

or just flip online...

(sell for a profit)

I completely forgot scarecrowess clothes!

der moment in there...

but our city wide is this weekend...

and I might find something there...

Craig had Saturday off, too...

so it was fun with the three of us...

Sunday, we weren't going to do much at all...

but mower man came right after my shower...

so, ran out to pick up the stuff in the way...

then I put on the new wiper blades on the van...

DH about stroked out when he saw the price on those things at walmart, but he got what he wanted...

we have one on the back, too...

then I mowed the south yard and when that was done, it was lunch time...

ate a bite and went back out to clean off the deck some more...

got that as far as we can take it now...

its been chilly, even in the sun here...

but we ended up working all day out there...

then back in here to finish up where I had left off in the kitchen and get the linens back on the bed...

doing a down day today...

sore...

achy...

but its sunny out with the wind blowing...

got 3 more babies coming in this evening...

6 weeks old and weaned...

just need to evaluate and find homes...

easy peasy...
