things were going good until it happened...

the day started off well...
playing around and decorating for Easter in the living room...
my lone egg from my collection...
sold all the rest of them but this one...
I have a thing for eggs...
and bird figurines...
but sold almost all of them, too...
you know how you get tired of things after 10-15 years...
that happened to me, too...
and it was time to stretch my legs and walk around a bit...
I am so amazed how things are growing day to day...
and the tulip doesn't have any black inside...
I do not like the ones with the black as much as I like the ones without...
and it opened up today...
sunny skies with whisper clouds...
the weeds are popping up, now, too...
I grow the best dandelions around...
yep, I'm bragging...
here is one of those things that you just love to death...
I never get tired of it and wished I had more...
and then there's the forever buddy that sticks to you like glue...
do  you have one of those?
we have several...
the iris are coming along...
Craig's growing some mighty fine weeds already in his flower bed...
and some new trees...
which we are going to leave...
this area needs some shade... 
and we came back in and I was sorting and cleaning...
taking photos for later...
and BANG!
vertigo...
out of the blue...
slapped me up side of the head...
ibuprofen down...
had Craig peroxided my ears out...
both of them were blocked...
yippee skippy...
had a small list to do today...
but it will have to wait...

glad you all like the images...
I still have more to come...
later...

Pilate saw that he wasn't getting anywhere and that a riot was developing. So he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. The responsibility is yours!"
Matthew 27:24

family...

Doug taking it easy after supper...
I put Craig in the corner with his laptop...
he was using the coffee table and I took it back...
this was a pain to clean, but got it done...
certain items hide all the electric cords that go to my baby's game systems...
washed, cleaned and straightened up...
more tulips opened this afternoon...
got a purple one!
now how fun is that?
this is hilarious!
both boys dressed alike today without planning...
Doug shows up and I look at hin and the I looked at Craig...
they were so embarrassed!
I haven't seen them dressed alike since they were really little!
more photos of inside...
Steve loved the smell of the candle when he walked in...
until he sat in his recliner...
now he's complaining it's making him hungry...
he says it smells like a cake is baking...
poor guy...
this is the vintage high chair both my kid's used at their grandpa's house...
gearing up for easter...
can you see the bunny?
so much done...
now we need to hit the kitchen...
but may take a day off...
my favorite guys...
other than my guys here...

have a great night...
I'm P U PT!
pupt!
(pooped)
that's how my mom used to say it...
and she always spelled it so we would know just how tired she was...
later, girlfriends!

progress report...

this is what cleaning does to Robbie...
we have been washing and cleaning and moving the little things around...
and he could care less...
because his toys are all picked up...
finally!...
got my candle warmer plugged in with a jar candle under the light...
oh my gosh!...
it works so well!
vanilla...
love it...
vanilla and mulberry are my two favorite scents...
this is my vintage radio cabinet...
I need to find the right fabirc to cover the screen...
I keep my vintage linens in here...
went for a short walk outside...
was getting a little stiff and sore...
a couple of rains and warm air really have things just busting loose here...
peonies, violets, iris, day lilies...
columbine...
day lilies...
can you hear them growing?
dianthus...
the tiget lilies doubled in size over night...
and...
my first tulip!
and it's pink!
I love this color! 
and shape...
and that's what I found on my walk out here today...
more photos on the living room later...
I have to get them before the guys mess it up!
so it will be a photo shoot night!
Doug is here and we have had supper...
pork chops, mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans...
it still smells good in here...
waiting for DH to come home...
he is working over...
and the roof of the office was covered yesterday...
and as long as they have power, they will keep working...
so it won't effect his job...
we're good...
hope you had a beautiful day!
I'll hop when Doug goes home...
HUGS!
