what is it?

Hubby was pretty disappointed to find out that this was not jam.  It is hair color.... hee hee.  He could eat it if he wanted it wouldn't hurt.

fly by

You can't tell in this photo, but this is the blue haring that eats our gold fish.

bulbs

Grandma gave me more bulbs this year and I am thrilled!!!  I hope that next year I have tulips and daffodils all the way up the drive.  Thanks grandma!

ride into the sunset

Or walk at least.  When the rim looks like this it means it is time to go back into the house.

Easter

See why the Easter bunny didn't come?  We got a river instead of eggs.

round rock

I found this round rock while out on a run.  Aunt Billie said it is an Indian artifact that was used in a game they used to play.  It is almost perfectly round, about the size of a tether ball, and weighs in at 7lbs!

my favorite sister

When we were little I would always tell Katie that she was my favorite sister.  She would get mad at me and say that she is my ONLY! sister.

She really is my favorite.  I am so lucky to have her in my life.  What an Amazing woman she has turned out to be!

***Adia took this picture!  I think we have a little photographer in our midst.

Chuckers

Aren't they cute!?!  These chuckers live here with us there is a flock of about 12 or 13 that is always running around in the garden.  I believe these two have a nest some ware in our yard because they act like they own the place.  so we will have to watch our step.

damselfly

There is lots of damselflies hanging around today.  One landed on K's arm and I thought she was going to fly away she was flapping so hard.   I don't know if she was happy or just wanted to get it the heck off.

more blossoms

I am not sure what this bush is, but I think the blossoms are amazing!

Grape tree

A million years ago... or maybe just 80 years ago  Jim's Grandma Ruthie planted some grape vines along her fence.   Over the years no one cared for them.  They were planted by the spring let out so they did really well.  Now we have 4 trees that the vines climb all the way to the top and drape back down.   This works really well.  I get the bottom grapes and the birds get the top of the tree. 

new flower planter

Jim and Glen are making me 3 new flower planters.  Here they are putting up the forms for the first one.  It is going to look so pretty when they are done.

get away

I'm kind of tired this week.  In my dreams I am far far away on a island......

gowth

I planted some flower seeds a few weeks ago and i can't believe how fast they are coming up!  This pot has Nasturtiums and calendula.

55

This is Glens tuck.  He bought it new.  I think it is super cute!

nectarine tree

These are really beautiful to look at... for some reason I think nectarine blossoms don't smell very good.

Grandma's tulips

Last spring Grandma Jaquie came to my house with a basket full of bulbs and told me to plant them.  She said they were tulips.  I ask her what color and she just said they were an "assortment".  So I planted them and waited a whole year to find out what color....

The first one to peek out of the hiding is RED!

coffee can

I saw this old coffee can on one of my hikes.  I don't know why but I think it is beautiful. I packed it home and I am going to put  a flower pot in it.

come on mom...

Poor girl!  She is always waiting on Me to hurry up and take the picture already.   The desert is starting bloom.  Spring is one of my favorite times of year!
