another Tuesday post...

had a limb twisted in the hybrid popular that had to come down from Saturday's extremely high winds...

this is what's left after DH took a full pick up load to the dump...

the other casualty of the winds...

the hands are gone...

looking for another one next trip to town...

daffodils are still blooming...

 hone suckle is greening up, too...

and an online rummage sale purchase...

for babies when we have them to bottle feed...

its a large bird cage...

and I don't have to bend over to take care of them...

and it rolls!

$25

;0)

have a fun day!

our weekend drive around town...

Sunday was much calmer than the Saturday super winds...

so we took a drive before we started working in the yard...

spring is here for sure now...

and there is nothing prettier than blooms and blossoms...

the colors are alive again...

we had a limb break in the hybrid popular...

so DH worked on that...

while Craig and I cleaned off the deck and moved things around...

;0)

no photos of any of that, but I try to get some for tomorrow...

much cooler days for us now...

I was just happy to be out while the sun was shining so bright...

still bundling up to go out in it...

but soon, very soon...

we will be sweating and wearing shorts and flip flops again!

have a fun day!

washi day...

my plans have been squashed like a bug!

we have extremely high winds today...

and there is a wind chill!

so what do you do?

you play!

I had this wall sticky thingy that kept curling and finally fell off the wall...

so, I still liked it and decided to stick it to something...

so, I grabbed an old cereal box and headed to the playroom...

added paper, glue and washi tape...

I did the first letter "T" last year, but Walmart was out of the rest of the letters that I needed...

remember that I finally found them last month or maybe the month before...

been too sick to care about it until now...

so...

I now have a full name!

not sure where its going...

but I will hang it somewhere!

just sitting here wishing it wasn't so windy...

and watching the birds try their wing at the feeders...

flapping against the wind and waving in the breeze as they try to hang onto the forsythia...

then there's the squirrels...

hanging on for dear life, bobbing back and forth...

DH went down  to the deli this morning without me...

good thing...

it was an "E" ride all the way there and back!

this should die down in a couple hours...

but then we have freeze warnings this coming week...

its crazy spring weather...

the poor mower guy looked like an eskimo...

;0)

better him than me...

(I didn't say that)

waving~~~~~~~~~~

good-bye to the rain...

for a little bit, anyway...

got a teeny, tiny chance of some tomorrow...

but not even enough of a chance to really mention...

knock out rose...

we are so ready for a nice weekend...

our neighbor's magnolia tree...

the blooms are almost spent...

it was nice out this afternoon, but windy...

it is almost done...

the raking...

of the dreaded...

CORNSTALKS

its not been fun at all...

and there was so much of it...

I am ready to get onto the fun stuff...

but its too early to plant...

or do a whole lot else...

so...

the rest can just wait a bit...

do you have plans for the weekend?

seems funny having Easter over and done with...

and its still not warm, warm...

just now ready to decorate for it...

maybe next year...

(it will be much later next year)

our goal:

CORNSTALK FREE...

when the weekend is over...

;0)

bye~~~~~~bye~~~~~~

(its heading east)

why I love blogging...

why?

hmmm....

could be a million and one reasons...

couldn't there be?

but I think for me...

it is sharing...

what God has made me into...

what God has gifted me with...

what God has blessed me with...

and who He has blessed me with...

;0)

sometimes, when we find blessings in places we never thought to look...

but when He leads us...

and we obey and follow...

He puts those in our lives that we need...

and who need us...

or HIM...

because for a lot of people...

WE are the first part of HIM that they meet...

WE are that open door that leads them to another life...

or a better one...

WE are useful to HIM...

when WE put HIM...

FIRST...

GOD put me in that place yesterday...

and through this blog...

HE spoke...

and a blessing happened on both ends...

;0)

I know there are some days when all we do is just pray for each other...

and it doesn't seem like a big deal...

BUT...

it is...

so writing this today with love to all of you...

be well, be blessed...
