we still have tulips...

can you believe it?

spring is moving right along here...

the raspberries we planted last year have new sprouts coming up from them...

I have never had tulips last this long before, ever...

the ferns are way ahead of schedule...

Craig had yesterday off, so we worked on several things...

DH's willow tree...

this is the city dump where we find all kinds of bricks and pavers...
we were looking for something to border the raspberries...
we found the round concrete samples- have used them before...
a handful of bricks and a few more pavers...
need any large stepping stones?
if only I have a way of moving them...
(should start saving for a bobcat)

we had a good day outside...
I am probably not moving much today...
pretty sore...
but it was worth it...
:)
have a blessed day...

another rainy morning...

it finally stopped a bit ago, but everything is soaking wet out there...
mom's fern...

peonies...
we got up and went to a rummage sale this morning...
it's citywide rummage sale day here...

I always try to get to June's...
and she is the only one that we did this morning...

got laundry going and putting things up and decluttering the counters...
the green is filling in fast now...

the leave are bigger...

picked up 4 shutters for the deck...

for $1 each...
and they are wide...
going to love them when we get them up...
will need hardware for them...
my initial plan is to hang them with eye hooks...
so we shall see how this goes...
photos later...
they are still in the van...

have not heard about Susie's Ted yet...
will let you know when I do...

blessings to all...

need prayers for a blogging sister...

Susie from She Junks needs all our prayers today...

her husband, Ted, is having a bone marrow transplant this morning...

its been a hard road since last fall when he was diagnosed...

so if you could add them to your list, I know they would appreciate it very much...

we have another rainy day here...

so here are some photos from Wednesday...
when the sun was shining...
probably the last of the tulip shots...
they were fading fast and the heavy rains will take care of the rest of the petals...
but...
there are other things out there coming along...

have good days...

the sun popped out for a bit yesterday...

it happened while we in the dr's office...

so when we got home, I grabbed the camera and starting shooting...
love this pink and white tulip...

there are only 2 lilac clumps blooming so far...

the columbine should be blooming by this weekend...

the red maple helicopters...
soon to be in a flower bed near you...

peonies...

and the oriole on the suet cage...

got the blood work done and feet and ankles are back to normal so she was happy with that...
knees still a little sore, but back to my routine exercises and stretches, but just a little slower pace and reduced reps...

prayers for our country today...
for Trump and his family and all the good guys...
God knows who they are...
sometimes it's hard to tell from our viewpoint...

have good days!

another rainy day...

we had a couple of thunder storms go through last night...
but nothing bad...
still cloudy and gloomy out this morning...

got a dr's appointment before lunch...
bloodwork and follow up on my vitamin D level...
I was extremely low in that a few months ago...
directly linked to my energy levels...
I have so much more energy now...

we don't have any other plans for the day...
cooking and cleaning, of course...
but nothing special...

prayers for all the patriots working behind the scenes keeping us safe...
prayers for the families of all of the ones lost since Easter...
prayers for our nation...
the world...
things are changing and will come to light soon...

blessings...
