happy weekend!

spring has been put on hold here...

just for a couple of days...

its still not snowing or anything crazy like that...

but it sure cooled down...
get the weekend out of the way and then we will warm up again...
DH is hitting the yard but I have orders to stay in...
and not get sick again...
;0)
I really didn't want to freeze my tush off anyway...
plenty to do in here...

I still don't have any pansies...
but that could happen soon, too...

so have great weekends and I hope you are warmer than we are...
not quite time to pack up the winter clothes just yet...
but its getting there!

another spring day...

this is our red maple in the island...

when I am sitting here with my laptop, this is what I see out the window...
I planted it when my mom died...
21 years ago...

the iris are really up and really need cleaned out...

the forsythia in the background started showing color yesterday mid-day...

and its about to end...
this relationship of ours...

these 2 are leaving here together...
for their forever home...
making arrangements for them to be picked up this weekend...

a younger couple with 2 kids...
and she's a nurse at an area hospital...
so they will be in good hands...
;0)

all the babies have their homes lined out...
I really didn't have to post and beg...
people wanted them as soon as they were born and have been waiting...

the last one is going to a friend of my oldest son...
his cat passed away...
at 17 years of age...
so this one is going to be just fine, too...

the little tiger with short hair has a magnificent home waiting...
a friend of mine knows a disabled man who lives alone and is looking for a companion animal...
loves tiger kitties...
;0)
tried an older one from the shelter...
it was feral...
hid under the bed and pooped everywhere...
and I mean everywhere...
so...
that one went back...
and he has been waiting for this one...
;0)

I finally had a pretty good day yesterday...
;0)
just a few aches and pains, but that's no biggie...
still on the meds for the thrush mouth...
that is better, too...
piddle fartin'   more and more each day...
;0)
have a blessed spring day!

top of the mornin'...

just bopping in here this morning to wish you all a happy St. Patty's day...

hope your days are full of blessings and wonder...

the only thing that's missing from this holiday is chocolate...
we need to start a movement...
more chocolate shamrocks!

how do you petition a leprechaun?
oh, I know...
 silly me...
I will google it!
;0)
I will report back on how that goes...

it was 73 yesterday...

a great day to get out and vote...

the grass is greener than green...

and the magnolia trees are opening up...

we missed all the rain and bad storms yesterday!
but we still have plenty of mud...

moving slow this morning...
couldn't get Craig up to get Sarah to the vet this morning...
and I am flaring anyway, so called and made it for next week...
at this rate, its going to take until the 4th of July to get them all vetted...

going to putter today and take a nap...
other than that, I have no plans...
just make it through another day...
this evening is visitation for my friend...
hoping to get up there...

have good days!
;0)

rainy days are here again...

feels like spring, looks like spring...

the lilac in front of the shed is leafing out...

day lilies are getting bigger...

daffodils are almost blooming...

and the crocus are still going...

the field behind us...
a river of cornstalks runs through it...

part of our back yard...
we have to get those raked up...

red maple...
with a fly...

another patch of crocus...

rain and fog is the thing this week...
storms maybe today...

ready for some sun and a little wind to dry this all up...
so we can get back to working in the yard again...

been cleaning inside, as I can...
doing a little bit better now...
not completely back to normal, but it takes time for me...

;0)
we are going between having the furnace on to the central air...
its hovering around 60 here, even into the night...

add a hot flash in there, and well, you know there is not much sleeping through that...
up and down, so nappin' is a must...
;0)

typical spring-like activity going on here...
looking for the bloom or leaf coming out...
enjoying not wearing a ton of clothes...
thinking about shaving my legs...
;0)
not got to it yet, but...
I am in my flip flops in the house...

thinking about buying the garden veggie seeds...
maybe we can hit Paris this weekend...
so ready to think about all the things we are going to be doing soon...

things will change so much week to week now...
until the leaves are out on the trees and the grass is being mowed weekly again...
;0)
hope your day is wonderful!
