Spring is still trying!

It's been a crazy week. What else is new?!?! I wouldn't change it for anything.

The Boss had to go up north for a funeral, drove his Mustang and ended up waking to two inches of snow. Fortunately, the snow melted before he drove home! 

I'm on a "my favorite authors all have new books just released" kick. Here are a few of my recently read and the beverages or food that went with them...

On the run with errands and a quick lunch!
Evening read with a cup of tea.
Enjoying a glass of wine and the sunshine.

Garden is still growing:
Pumpkins are getting lots of leaves
& new plants are up every day. Now I wish I knew which are pumpkins and which are gourds!
Trees are leafing out. This branch was a victim of a softball...

Peonies are growing like crazy. These guys are at least 3-4 inches taller today then when I took this over the weekend! I can't wait for the flowers and to share with JH (and dig out a plant to give her for her home!). She's making a gorgeous quilt inspired by my peonies. I can't wait to see the finished product. I love when creative people take something like a peony blossom and turn it into a piece of art (and her quilts are!). Hopefully she will let me share a picture when it is done.

Tonight is home and tomorrow is track, softball and pt/coaching for the kiddos. Pray for nice weather!

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to manage some mischief!

Welcome spring!

Welcome back! Life got crazy and I let things go for a bit. 

Dizzy finished her gymnastics season early with a torn mcl and tibia compression fracture. She's healing well and anxious to get back to normal activity.

Bean just took his ACTs and is grumbly that everyone told him they would be difficult. He's running track and tied his pr in his first meet at the mile. So proud of him!

Tater is playing in two softball leagues and excited for the first game tonight.



And I have begun gardening...

Peonies on the north east side of house
New bleeding heart fern 
White bleeding heart fern-it's always been smaller than the others.
Bleeding heart fern
Peonies on north west side of house
Hollyhocks on west side of house 
Columbine 
South side hollyhocks 
Even the annuals from last year have come back to play
Giant pumpkins
Mini pumpkins
And my gourd plant-I guess I need more seeds for that one!

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to manage some mischief!
