Happy Saturday

Still setting up and transferring to new computer but I think I can post o.k. on my Chrome Book.  Never have before.  I couldn't get it to work right, but seems to work now, don't know why.
Out in the yard the past few weeks and it shows on me.  I kinda wore the wrong shoes, oh heck I really had too much weight in the wagon with dirt and the front of my foot at the ankles are swollen and hurt. 

Looking out the downstairs window earlier in the day.

I started early tilling soil around the azaleas and in front of some Iris's there I will plant my zinnias.  Cant ever go wrong with zinnias.

Fringe tree or Grand daddy's beard as Mom always calls it.  It has scented the yard with the sweet fragrance. 


Looking out now towards the side gate


I found an azalea that must be growing from a root of the larger one.  I will move that somewhere, not sure where though.
The leaves have protected it.  




Hopefully be back on my PC soon.

Happy Easter

My computer will be down so I am wishing one everyone a Happy Easter.
Switching over, needed an upgrade so I won't be posting a few days.
Had to share Moms picture with the Easter Bunny from last week's get together at the nursing home.

great grandma and genevieve

I made a spice cake for their bake sale, spice dripping with butterscotch frosting.


Derek brought Genevieve and they had to have the Easter egg hunt inside because it did rain.




Happy Easter Everyone -

Good Friday post

Stormy and dark looking where I am.  Tornado watch in many areas.  I am pinned to the t.v. and radio for updates.  Please all be safe and heed the warnings. 
A little clip outside and the wind picking up at around 7 I believe this evening.  

Genevieve has a little strawberry on her plant at the playhouse. She's not here so I will eat it.  





I went to an awards ceremony for Adalyn today at school.  She has done a great job and proud of her.


I took her to breakfast at Cracker Barrel afterwards. 

Well computer getting slow because of weather.  I wanted to check in with other blogs I follow but will wait til after the storm.

Yesterday

Was gorgeous for being out and planting.   Azaleas are blooming and not all are opening at once.  Get to enjoy them longer this way.

Looking towards side gate





This one is small flowered and double.

almost looks like a rose


white ones on side of house



Pink dogwood blooms are larger it seems this year.  The trimming of the tree I believe helped.



won't be long before Peonies are in bloom

White dogwoods did well also





windy 

Happy Thursday to all
