Happy Easter!

I hope everyone is well and having a peaceful, happy Easter!

Les and I are okayish here.  The weather has been warm, some days HOT, and today is warm with gusty wind and thunderstorms to start this afternoon.  The pollen this year has been intense!

Our HVAC system had its Spring checkup, all good, and the AC is running.  With the pollen, it is better to not have the windows open.

I have been working on the yard cleanup a section at a time.  The days of me doing the whole yard on the same day are over and done with.  But I am making progress.  I am meeting with a landscaper we use to talk about a couple things I need help with.  The Winter extreme cold, snow, and ice here was rough on some things.  There are several shrubs/bushes that I need to have removed.  And the mulch from last Summer did not hold up well, so some needs to be replaced.

This is our lovely blooming tree that is currently dropping those blooms and getting its lovely red leaves.

Take care, stay safe, and be kind.  God Bless America.

Cherry Blossoms


The Cherry Blossoms are blooming on Canon Boulevard!   So pretty!  They are on both sides of the road.  There isn't a spot where you can pull over and take pictures, so this was taken from inside the car.

I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

It is 83 and sunny here.  I have windows open and Finnigan is running back and forth.

Peace and Joy.  Be Kind.  And God Bless America!

Hey!

 


Easter is coming soon.  Mr. Gnome has decorated his garden (with my help). 

It is still cold and windy here, but at least the sun is shining.  I've been doing some small inside projects.  But the main project today was going to the Commissary to get groceries.  

Our taxes are done and filed.  

The porch pansies seem to be doing well.  I enjoy looking at them.

Life is good.  Take care of yourselves and be kind.  And God Bless America.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 


And even more important to us - - - - - - Happy Birthday to our sweet Finnigan!  💕 He and his littermates were born on St. Patrick's Day.  



Stay safe and be kind.  Life is good and God Bless America!

Pansies!

 



I had to take pictures from both angles!  Finally got these today and got them potted.  Lots of things are getting leaves now and blooming.  Pollen counts slowly rising on the news.  Although it's so windy right now, it's moving around.

Les and I are okayish.  Nothing new going on.  I've been doing some extra projects and trying to keep up with things.  The next larger project is cleaning windows. Perhaps this week.

Everyone is hoping that snow is over and done.  At least this last we had didn't stick around really long.  But the rapid temperature change from 86 on Wednesday to 30 on Thursday was tough.  My body does not like changes like that.

I hope everyone is well and staying safe.  God Bless America!

A Memory


I was looking through some pictures and this one popped out.  This is us back when we were still in school and dating.  Les' Dad took the picture before we left for "Twirl-a-Teens".  Fun times, a large group of teens learning and dancing.  We did square dancing and round dancing.  

I hope everyone is well and I hope everyone has some happy memories.  We have lots of great memories.

Stay safe.  And God Bless America!
