rainy day...

these first four photos are from yesterday...

look!

we have shade!

dianthus...

pink tulip...

almost finished...

see the seed pod in there...

yep, they're coming down...

wonder why they put this together with the name upside down?

and this morning in the light rain...

the clematis bloomed...

just two today...

but there are more to come...

hope you had a great day just hanging around...

or getting things done...

either kind of day is a good day...

me,  nap time was the best part of my day...

we ate take out for supper...

and now to get some things done on here...

desktop calendars for you to use...

just right click and save...

then right click again and save to your desktop...

not a lot going on...

except that its a little warm out there today...

and Doug stopped by after lunch for a bit...

he trimmed the back of my hair for me...

got the new razor in the mail today...

and legs are shaved!

eat your heart out, Debbie!

no more braiding here!

have a great day, ladies and gents...

just hanging out...

these gorgeous ladies came to live with me yesterday...

Doug and his dad found them for me at Walmart yesterday...

after  supper, we went out to sit in the yard...

I sat in the grass...

and I took my camera with me since I had only done the sock monkey photo shoot today...

love the evening sun...

it is a bit chilly with the breeze out there...

we didn't get to 90 today like they said we would...

but it was still a nice day...

columbine...

and if you sit down in the grass...

beware...

furbabies think you are fair game...

Tory really likes it out side, but is still wary...

peonies are budding...

rough night and first part of the day...

but this evening I am feeling better...

been a long day...

worked on the kitchen this afternoon...

just clearing off counters after the weekend and the shopping...

things just get dumped there for some reason...

well, have a good night...

busy kind of day...

well, for some of us anyway...

Doug got here at the crack of dawn...

woke me up and I told him I had been up with the storms that had come through and I needed a couple more hours of sleep...

so DH got up with him...

then I could not get moving at all...

so Doug went shopping with his dad today...

and Craig got me going again...

and we walked outside and did PT inside...

and just look at all the amazing things going on here...

bee...

neighbor's yard...

but mine is just a yellow...

Boofy and  Mr Wiggles playing king of the steps...

these old elm trees make me happy...

and I hope who ever buys these lots...

has the sense to keep them...

trees are getting their leaves...

and the neighbor's lilacs are wonderful...

they were supposed to be yellow...

took 7 years for them to bloom...

and they're not yellow...

she's not happy...

maple leaves...

this is going out there somewhere soon...

from last year...

egg...

ok, here's your April Fool's joke...

you asked for it and now you're sorry you did...

Craig and I laid out in the grass for a bit...

and look at what happened...

the breeze was blowing and the sun was shining...

and the dog was  doing his best to kill the dandy lions...

and when the guys got back they brought back Burger King...

me and my boy had whoppers..

yep...

we did...

the other 2 did cheese burgers and fish...

yeah...

that's what Doug wanted for his birthday meal...

so that's what we did...

and we got him a new digital camera...

and he was thrilled...

it even came with the battery charger...

and batteries...

so he is already to go...

I have got an ear ache and sore throat, so Tuesday I am calling for an appointment with my favorite doctor...

I think I need antibiotics again...

this weather is so good about that...

especially when dingy people leave the windows open at night when its supposed to be in the 40s...

duh...
