An Evening Walk Around The Yard


I am feeling so very blessed

as I walk around the yard

tonight.

Sure it's a lot of work

but the rewards are

so satisfying. 


















If you're still here . . .
Thanks so much for stopping by.

I hope you enjoyed tagging
along as I snapped these photos.

Have a lovely week
&
God Bless You All 
💗
Your blogging sister,

Happy Mother's Day



Happy Mother's Day!






 This is a little bench

that I built outside

my greenhouse/potting shed.





Flowers picked from 

the garden.




These are from the 

garden, but look

at the sweet cozy 

wrapped around the jar . . .




💕




A handmade gift

from a dear friend.

I am blessed!

 



I wanted to make 

something simple

but cute for the garden.

So, I went to my 

scrap bin.




Yellow is so cheerful :)




Little yellow flags . . .

putting on a happy face 😎




You already saw them once,

but I'll just show them again.

 




These were gifted me by

lovely friends that stopped by 

this week to see how 

I was faring with my back.  

🌸🌻🌹🌻🌸

I'm happy to say that even

though I'm still in 

a lot of pain, I am 

seeing an improvement each

and every day :) 

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

slow and steady :)


Again,

Happy Mother's Day!

 "You should be known 

for the beauty that comes from within, 

the unfading beauty 

of a gentle and quiet spirit, 

which is so precious to God."

1 Peter 3:4

Rocks and Stepping Stones



I've been digging through the rock pile . . . 


to add interest to the front path.


I'm almost half done.

I'll take a finished photo

when I'm done. 



After yard work . . . 




 We like taking a nap 😴 around here.

🥰

Hee-Hee

There will be no photos

of my nap 🤪


Wishing you a lovely week.

Your blogging sister, 

Connie :)

Enjoy Your Week


🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

The birds are singing . . . 




 they are so happy it's Spring.




Perennials are coming to life 
after a cold winter


 

Annuals are sprouting 
from the warm earth.


  

Seedlings are sprouting and growing 
in the greenhouse . . .




Isn't Spring a delightful 

time of the year?




I was even able to 

pick my first bouquet of lilacs 

this week.

 


Even Beulah is celebrating Spring

with a nice clean bath.

Well, celebrating might be 

an exaggeration, LOL.

She enjoys being clean, 

but not the process.

The nice thing is, 

she doesn't fight it. 

She just stands very still 

and

tolerates the process 

of her bubble bath.

She even allows me to

dry her good with a towel

and get most of the water off,

before that ever so fun

dog shake :)

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

Wishing you all

a very blessed week.

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

Loving The Blooms Of Spring




I picked some flowers

 for the table yesterday.








Then I walked around the yard

taking photos.






Some of my succulents 
are starting to show off :)





These last three flower photos
are some I purchased at
Home Depot . . .
I'm waiting until next week
to put them in pots. 











 Last but not least is my 
little greenhouse/potting shed.
I just finished giving it a fresh
coat of paint.
I actually still have paint
on my fingers as I type this, LOL.

Now, that is what you call
a dedicated blogger! 


Oh, I painted my old bike, too.
I'm thinking about planting 
California Poppies & Thumbelina Zinnias
in the box and basket this year.  

🌱🌻🌷🌹🌷🌻🌱

I do hope that you are all
enjoying your weekend,
May the Good Lord bless you
and 
fill your heart with joy.
