Hi there everyone. Hope you are enjoying these beautiful days.....I have been enjoying the little flowers that pop up, it's always good to see them. God's creations are always a joy to the soul and spirit.
Saturday, I went out to straighten the garage and brought out some of the lawn furniture and grill and move the pots out for planting. I started about 5pm and did not stop till 8pm.....it was such a nice time....but I am paying for it now. Aches and pains....my back started hurting last night....I should have known better then to over-work this 70 year old body!!! I think from now on I will do just one hours worth of work rather then 3 hours. Why the rush???
We got our refund from the Government and State.....soooooo, I think this year we shall order some red mulch. My little gardens look so pretty when the mulch is spread. I shall have to pace myself and not over-do. First I have to rake the old leaves and spread them under the maple tree....hopefully in the fall we can get that tree trimmed by Habitat for Humanity. That is another post though, within the next month, I have to see if we will qualify.
These little flowers are spreading themselves....maybe in a couple of years this section of my garden will be all crocuses....I really should look for some white crocuses.
I think I might have a garage sale sometime this summer....just as soon as I gather all the things that need to be sold. We were given a large manger set....I am not sure I want it....but we'll see. Last summer my motivation ebbed very low. I had lots of energy in my head with lots of things I wanted to do, but my body did not want to cooperate with my head. A battle raged within me.....neither one won the battle and not a whole lot was accomplished last summer. Hope the story is different this summer.
Well, I think I shall close this post for now, need to go take a shower, maybe I will feel better. We have to take 276 aluminum cans to the "golden goat" for recycling. The price was 42 cents per pound....but better then having the cans sit around. After recycling we got $3.65. Not bad.....We calculated that it was about $125.00 worth of sparkling water that JP drinks. Me, I might have a can here or there....I drink mostly coffee, tea and water and a pop every now and then.
So have a great day and keep looking up.....better days are coming.
Cheers ~ Louise

Well, I hope your body and mind align this year, Louise, so you can get some things done that you want to do. It is interesting that just 30 mins south of us you have some flowers up already. Ours are just popping through--but then being closer to the bay it stays cold longer, I think.
Have fun feeding the golden goat...lol Have a great upcoming week- xo Diana
Hi Diana....I sure do hope my body and mind align with each other too. Yeah...must be a bit colder farther North and by the bay. We did pretty good feeding the goat, got 3.65 not bad. You have a good week too.
Oh how beautiful these flowers are! I enjoy flowers and the beginning of Spring so much! I am now following your delightful blog and looking forward to getting to know you better. Hope you are taking some time to rest and relax too. :-) Have a wonderful day!!
blessings,
Jill
