we moved the tree...

into the kitchen yesterday while DH made a run to Walmart...
who's on top of your tree???
I think next year, she will be a bunny angel...

and this is one of the mini candy molds I picked up at Ninny's...

and Peter himself hangs on my tree...

along with some glittery eggs...

the top of the desk...
I just got that post card in yesterday...

you know how  you start to straighten up one place...
and then that leads to another?
and another?

the cotton wood is snowing...

it was blowing across the street into these...
usually it blows across our yard, but the wind was out of the east last night...

and this is DH's new grill...
remember the old one?
the yucky old one????
it went bye bye with the trash man 2 weeks ago...

check out how talented this man that I married is...
he can read spanish upside down and backwards...
Craig and I were impressed and told him it would be a blog moment for sure...
bwahahaha...
so you can guess what he  we will be doing today...
along with angel eggs- Craig renamed them...
and a sugar free chocolate cream pie...
we have a  couple things to plant...
and I would like to work on the end of the sidewalk where they cut and dug out that bush last week...
its been too wet to play there for awhile...

so pray for us and the grill...
for those who don't know...
DH is not handy...
at all...
and this will be interesting to say the least...
the manual says 1 hour assembly...
not here...
could end up being a 2 day job...
yeppers...
stay tuned...
Jettie, I wasn't kidding when I said I could use some help with the kitchen...
and why someone else is building the deck...
but I love him anyway...
check back- I'm taking the camera out with me...
would do a video, but I don't know how to bleep out the bad words...
later!

Good Friday...


Happy Good Friday...
as you can see, the frost that happened last night only touched the things out in the open...

all the flowers were safe...

but our day here has been cold and windy...

so not much time was spent outside...

mower guy did a good job yesterday afternoon...

Bebe kept wanting his picture taken...

insisted on it...

I think he's totally spoiled...

tonight on our walk after supper, 3 of these were blooming...

its still going to be awhile on these...

everything is getting so big and the beds are filling in...

the sun felt really good out there...

notice the ear muffs and gloves...
DH's coat was in the van...
Craig used it for a pillow the last time we went out...
DH was not happy with a wrinkled coat...
I told him he would have them stretched out of there in no time...

Craig soaking up some rays...

a dancing doggie...
notice all the grass he rolled in and how it sticks to him...
its a full time job keeping a white poodle clean...
and so went our day...

the death of the Savior was not the end...
but a new beginning for all of us...
the pain he went through so we would not be lost...
but found...
and saved by blood...
his blood...

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
 Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? 
which is, being interpreted, 
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

1st iris of the season...

I went back out yesterday afternoon for more photos after the sun came out...

there are more to come!

isn't she pretty?

well, we are blessed...
the low was 39...
so no freeze...
everything should be ok...
been up most of the night...
so heading off to bed...

blog button...

piddle fartin' around this afternoon and came up with this...
a blog button if you would like to use it...

I found these images online...

and just layered them...

until I got what I wanted...

takes about 3 minutes...

just goofing around while I wait for DH to get home...
mower guy came and we could bale if we wanted to...
Happy  Easter to all...
I know this will be a busy weekend for so many...
we just eat chocolate and stuff our faces...
no traveling...
just don't forget that Jesus died for our sins...
and that he hung on the cross to save us all...
that he loves us all, even if we don't love each other...
that with his blood, we are saved...
GRACE...
its all about grace...
FORGIVENESS...
that all we need to do is repent and the slate is wiped clean...
and FOLLOW...
don't forget to follow his footsteps...
God Bless you and yours...

don't hate me because they're beautiful...

I was hoping this would open up today...
it was blushing yesterday afternoon...

all they all needed was a little rain to go with those warmer temps we had...

but, like every cloud has a silver lining...
there is also a dark underside...

we have  a frost warning out tonight...

these are in a pot...

everything is growing, including the weeds...

and those silly pods are happening here...

the weeds are even pretty this morning...

this is going to be blooming by Easter Sunday...

and would you look at this!
my first iris of the season!

and there's more to come...
just stay tuned...

so-
are you ready for the big dinner day?
I have learned one thing in all these years on this planet...
its going to come and go whether I'm ready or not...
just going to hang on and let it happen...
I have 3 guys here who can step up and finish things off if I need help...
and 1 that thinks he can do the whole thing all alone...
his future wife is going to either be so happy with him...
or kill him...

I know you gals in the north are still waiting for things to  pop up in your gardens...
they will, and then we can all have 2 springs this year...
;)

have a fun day...
remember, the bunny's watching...
