Spring Sprung

Spring has arrived in Indiana

Pictures compliments of friend Susie

Roswell

You know you are in Roswell when....

Red Truck & a Tree

Dear Husband is always ready for the quick turnarounds to get a picture. 

Typical day of finishing up Christmas errands and since 

I tend to take the "scenic way" instead of the main roads 

This is what we saw! 

Quick turn around and look what we saw! 

A truck with a tree! 

Mophie

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet

This was the first thing I thought when I realized that I had forgotten to take my Mophie out of my pocket before I put my fleece in the laundry.

But I thought... why not. 

I put it in a baggie of rice and tried not to think about it for 24 hours.

Could I live without it?

Of course, but I do use it alot and it was a "gift" when I purchased my phone. 

It works perfectly!

Grateful I am

Mother Nature

Mother Nature never fail to surprise me!

Watermelon

Two of my grand kids gave me plants and one was a watermelon.

 I have never grown these 

(tho I am wondering "why didn't I") 

and when I went to check on them....look at this!

How cute!

To Bloom or Not to Bloom...Part 2

~My Cup Overflows~

April Snow

I will not even mention snow in this post. 

I am ignoring the 5-8 inches expected and that's that.

A reminder it will be like this again soon

Compliments of Miss Susie

Miss Susie again

My Primroses

My Violets are blooming.....Finally!

I'm not sure how the pix of Portillo's Chocolate Cake slipped in to the pictures 

but I might need this later

Easter Bunnies

We have Easter Bunnies!!

Well we have bunnies born close to Easter....same thing right??

They carried on thru the 4 inches of snow we had and are thriving.....all 6 of them.

Dear husband named one of them Dora because she leaves the nest every day

 to go exploring and comes back to report to her siblings every night.

It just doesn't get much cuter than this!

On the bottom right is their nest and they hop up inside the grass for the day

Waiting for Spring

I'm waiting for Spring to arrive

Technically it did this week.

I'm waiting for the ground to dry out

Technically 1/2 of the back yard is almost dry

I'm waiting for that lush spring green grass

However the buds on the trees are huge and will start to open soon. 

I'm waiting for my daffodils to bloom...well... I would settle seeing them sprout. 

I'm waiting for no winter coat weather.

I actually love my winter coat. 

But the Robins are back! 

I even love them when they start singing @ 4am

And I was able to open the windows a bit today

I also started my tomato and pepper seeds today.

The end is in sight!

 

Greek Soup - Avgolemeno

I LOVE Avgolemeno Soup. 

We have a Greek restaurant nearby and they have the very best, but in lieu of going out, my dear Greek friend gave me a can of this wonderful lemon soup and it's delicious. 

I think this just became one of my comfort foods in this cold weather. 

(I squeezed a bit of fresh lemon juice in it too)

Try it..you'll like it!

To Bloom or Not To Bloom

It’s much too early to start my plants indoors and I need you to get me thru til spring!

I need you to bloom please! 

Quiet Time

Today I’m taking time to regroup. It was a mentally busy and exhausting week and tho I am good at keeping stress at bay I didn't do as well this week. So this morning I’m enjoying the blissful quiet of being home, and instead of gulping down my coffee and rushing off to work, I’m taking time to enjoy it. Miss Eleanor and I are lounging for a bit before the tasks of the the day begin.

 My to do list for the day is long (but when isn't it) 

If I don’t accomplish everything..... 

I have Scarlett O’Hara’s mindset. 

“I’ll think about it tomorrow “

Campbell's Sauces for Crock Pot Cooking

There isn't much to say about this but the following.

YUM!

HEAVEN!

WHEN CAN WE HAVE IT AGAIN?

THANK YOU!

Basset Hounds and Sub-Degree Weather

Eleanor the basset hound waiting for it not to be -37 degrees with the wind chill.
