Yard

A walk around the yard in the cold.   Now, at 3:00 it's 36 F. 
Daffodils finally starting to bud.   Leaves to be raked and other much needed yard work to be done.  Now just a few more days of sunshine and will be dry enough to do it. 
I hope that with all the rain, some moles have gone to mole heaven.  They are little monsters and do  a number in killing roots to all the plants I try to keep alive.

I cut the lilac way back and even though it will take some seasons to bloom again, it was way to large for this area.  I will try to move it later this year.

Hydrangea that needs transplanting for way too long.

box that needs trimming.

Took a few limbs off of the Forsythia and put them in water to see if they will bloom for me inside.

That's it for today.  Have a good one.

What a Beautiful Day of

Sunshine! I am enjoying it while I have it because this weekend... MORE RAIN in the forecast.  Who'd a guessed it?  I am wondering if we will have a hot dry summer because of this?  Last year the beetles ate up everything.

A trip to Sherwin Williams for ceiling paint. I am prepping bedroom for a much need paint job.  With the way I am feeling lately,  I am guessing I will finish it in about two months.  Geesh, I hope it's a lot sooner than that!
Not advertising or anything like it,   but this is the best ceiling paint. I won't use anything else.  Does not drip like many others I have used.

Back to sunshine, I found these roses from Valentines day sale at Walmart for $3.97 I believe it was.  I couldn't pass them up.  They are just beautiful and the clay pot is worth that.   Will plant when weather is warmer.  Right now they are on the jalousied porch getting used to some cooler weather and it's much better than the heat inside for them.

More Dahlias to plant.

Roses,  a store near me had these blue ceramic pots ( I am guessing ceramic) they are very heavy and I have better luck in this type of pot and not so much the plastic pots.

Couldn't pass up these I found at Pier One.

Yes, I like my blue flower.  My Mother had this sitting on her table at Christmas one year with some Christmas balls and lights.

Blue just seems to suit the weather we were having last week.
The blue day book was given to me and there are many cute little animal pics and some sayings to go along with them.

Like this one

Finished several of these beaded flowers a few weeks ago.  The reason I am sharing this one is because I found it on the mantle.  Will be beading leaves to go with them for a little pot.

Happy Monday, well at least what's left of it.  Time is flying.

Rain anyone?

I took this yesterday and it's flowing good in the side yard little creek area. Nice to listen to as I mired down a few inches or more in the over drenched yard to take a video

I think I would rather see snow.

Visited Mom at nursing home last week sporting a new hairdo.
Looking good

Today it snows

Tomorrow will be in the 60's.  No wonder we keep getting these sniffles.
I do like snow though.

It's a little icy now in the yard

A short clip from front door.  Not ready to venture out.

Will be getting into the 60's tomorrow evening and then of course droppin back down.. I like winter a lot better than hot hot summer.

I don't think several boxwoods in the front will make it this year.  They are turning orange in some places. I guess it's from so much moisture.
If anyone knows what I can do to save them, please tell me.  I hate losing them.

Little icy rain coming down so I think I will take a rest on the bed with a book.
