The church picnic was great, as usual. Yes, we had great food and the weather cleared up for the party, which was also great. But it’s our church family and friends that make the day wonderful. As usual. 🙂 Thanks to all who came! Sadly, no pictures. If anyone took pics and would like to […]
After several delays caused by car trouble, the girls finally made it home Saturday evening, safe and sound. Just in time for Mother’s Day! 🙂 DH did some surprise shopping and brought home the ingredients for my favorite Mother’s Day meal…grilled chicken, veggie packets, and corn on the cob. So good! Veggies packets are marked […]
We’ve watched the irises coming on strong during the past week. So many need to be lifted and reset, but right now, we’re just enjoying the beautiful blooms. The work of revitalizing them will wait for another time. …..’Clarence’…………………………………..’Celtic Prince’……………………….’Kevin’s Theme’….. This week, our two older daughters are moving home after almost three years in […]
We’re back from a trip east, where we attended one daughter’s senior show (graduating from college in a few weeks!), celebrated another daughter’s birthday, and visited with our oldest son and his family. We had a wonderful time and so enjoyed visiting with everyone. And we had tons of fun with the little ones. 🙂 […]
The yard is transitioning from early spring to mid-spring. The irises are putting up their buds and a few have flowered. The earliest are ‘Baby Blessed,’ the old purple variety from DH’s family farm, and the old white ones from his great-grandmother’s place. You can see those in my previous post. The first of the […]
We are enjoying perfect spring weather right now. And it looks like we’ll be able to enjoy it for the next week or so. I tried to keep the menu pretty simple most days so we could spend as much time outside as possible. Monday Toasted Cheese Sandwiches Chicken Tortellini Soup Tuesday Crock Pot Turkey […]
We enjoyed a delicious Easter dinner with friends from church. After pie and ice cream, they brought out their four wheeler for DD to enjoy. And she did! Sunday evening I sat on the east porch and enjoyed the spring breezes and the waning sunlight. The redbud trees are THIS close to bursting into bloom. […]
I have some fun pictures from the church scavenger hunt to post soon, but right now I need to get the menu posted and the grocery list made for the week. Before I do that, though, here is a picture of DD’s kitty Buttercup, looking very contented as she sat on the stool in the […]
The week looks promising. No snow as was gingerly predicted. Lots of rain. The yards, gardens and fields like that. The lettuce and spinach in the garden are up. And the daffodils are opening all over the yard. Beautiful! And indoors, not to be outdone, the Christmas cactus continues to bloom profusely. So pretty! DH […]
This picture of DD checking the mail for her NetFlix movie was taken a few days ago. One of those sunny days we had last week…today is cloudy and cool. But spring is here. Daffodils are blooming, tree buds are swelling, the grass is turning green. A few more sunny days and the yard will […]
