Outdoors Tuesday

Windy and lukewarm today.    Warm enough that after the girls finish playing with play doh and drawing, we went outside to plant.
First Adalyn and Genevieve have to fill the pot.  Genevieve is filling a little planting area for me with good soil so I can start some seeds.

Adalyn is filling her green pot for her seeds.
Little windy but nice

Since they love the dirt, might as well make the most of it and get some seeds in the cells to start sprouting.

Couldn't find my little shovels as usual so they are using Opa's plastic tools.

Adalyns pre school teacher gave the children for Valentines day a heart with seeds.    I soaked it and then it was laid in the soil in the green pot.   Adalyn and Genevieve watered it and now will wait to see if it grows.

meanwhile I am looking around and I see much  needed work is to be done.  Broken pots like this one, Ivy is spilling out of and growing up the tree.

Will have to move this cutting that has rooted in the pot soon.

I took the above cutting from this shrub.

Sorry I planted this white lilac here at the fence.  Hope when I try to move it, I don't kill it.

Just to much growth for this area

On my way in.  A few pictures of the porch.  Steve is always purchasing something for the porch that is bright like this homemade lizzard.

plants doing well,  cause they are faux.

A wreath I purchased and placed lil birdy in it.

Inside for Adalyns favorite lunch,  Yep it's corned beef hash.   I like to change it up of course but today she insisted.

I let them eat in the den while they watched Scooby Doo.

Cranberry Apple juice and then a glass of milk before nap time.

fruit cup for dessert


Play doh doggys Adalyn made for the office

Happy Tuesday All

Looks like Spring

A few shots of spring before grand girl Genevieve picks them all.  She loves to pick any flower she sees, just can't help herself.

I am just about giving up on grass growing.

hyacinths coming up under boxwoods along with weeds that will need to be pulled now the weather is warmer

lavender in pot was rooted from a sprig two summers ago

this one was rooted from a cutting three seasons ago

Happy Sunday

water shots

Traveling  middle peninsula  with beautiful water views and pretty farmland was soothing for the both of us.
Boaters paradise is what it is called and I can see why.

Thomas Downing bridge that is between Tappahannock and Warsaw.
The town of Tappahannock located on the Rappahannock river.

view from the bridge as we go over

Another bridge in White Stone Va.  is the Robert O. Norris bridge.  Known by locals as White Stone bridge or Rappahannock river bridge.   Some find it a little uncomfortable I hear about crossing it,  but I didn't.
Crossing for state route 3 over the Rappahannock river between Lancaster and Middlesex county in Virginia.

Heading to the trusses

I heard it shakes a little in high winds,  was hoping for wind so I could see if it's true.

awesome I think

On the end of the bridge at  left is Willabys Restaurant which was not open at the time,  so we will have to eat there another time for sure.

Heard it's very good.
Nice eating spots on the outside .

Here you can see the Norris bridge

on the dock is a  picnic table with umbrella - on we go

Happy Saturday.   Getting ready to head out for an overnight just to get away.
Not sure where we'll stay or see at this point,  we're winging it.  

Before I go - some pictures of the Australian shepherd that the grand girls got for Christmas,  he is growing.   Adalyn named him  *Star* and Genevieve agreed he is.

He is so spoiled

He seems to know the camera now

Adalyn and her valentine she made

Genevieve with that sweet smile
I need to get a picture of her valentine she made, it's so busy with stickers and glittered hearts.
But when it's time to go,  she is ready to go.

Addy sit her polar bear on the box and asked me to get a picture of him.
Well here he is.
Later and Happy Saturday
