Spring Flowers

Is this a good or bad photo?

What do you think? I can't make up my mind, but I think I am kinda liking this one...maybe.

Roses or Leaves?

The shrub by our back door is budding, right now they all look like tiny roses to me.

Twins Opening Game at Target Field

I did not take this picture, I was at work. But my husband thought of me today while he was at the game and took this photo for me - he knows I love the details.

My Salad

There really is spinach under all those strawberries! I wanted to make sure I had strawberry with every bite of my salad tonight - it was berry good!

My Grandmother's Shelf

I wish I knew the story behind this shelf. It looks to be handmade. It hung in my Grandmother's house for as long as I can remember.

Turkey in my Front Yard

I live in the city. Yet I have seen more wildlife in my backyard than I have in nature. Here's the list so far: deer, rabbits, possum, raccoon, squirrels, chipmunks, and the usual assortment of birds including woodpeckers, cardinals and now this turkey. I joke that my yard is a nature preserve, but maybe it really is!

Easter Egg Hunt

Here is my cousin's daughter counting the eggs she found after the Easter egg hunt at my uncle's house. She was so excited since she had found the most eggs. I had a lot of fun helping her out.

First Signs of Spring!

Sunday Morning

Magazine Pages

This stack of magazines caught my eye. I really like all the wavy lines of the pages.

Juxtaposition

Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

Do I really need to say more? These are so good! I think the combination of the cinnamon and the butterscotch chips is what I love the best, that is next to eating them!

Waiting for Spring to Arrive

Work In Progress...

Today I was working on making my Easter Cards. I had a regular production line going once I figured out what I wanted to do. This is from one of my experiments while I was still not quite sure what I was doing yet.

Don't See This Everyday...

One of our neighbors had a visitor with a very big truck this morning. We (us and the lady upstairs) thought it was very odd indeed.

If These Dishes Could Talk...

I used to watch a show called If These Walls Could Talk. It was about the families that lived in the houses previously and what might have happened or what did happen there depending on how much information the current homeowner was able to gather. Each homeowner would start by showing what they found in their homes and then tell the story behind the item. 

I wish I knew the story of these dishes. Some of them belonged to Steve's Great-Grandmother. 

Spring is in the Air

Almost 5 Years Ago...

Almost 5 years ago I wore these slippers for the first time on my wedding day. Time sure does sneak by quickly...

Color Coordinated?

It's true, my closet is organized by color. My Mom thinks I'm crazy, but I love how it looks and how easily I find what I am looking for. Call me a geek if you like, but I like bein' organized:)

Frozen Cupcakes

I ate the last cupcake today - I really shouldn't of... so I pulled out some more to frost so Steve could have some for lunch. I laughed as soon as I pulled them out of the freezer when I saw them stuck together like this!

Rain, Rain Go Away...

Do March showers bring April flowers? It has been raining here since Tuesday....I just want a little sun...

Bubbles

Rain

Rain in March is better than snow! Starting to see green grass as the snow melts away.

Eggs

These eggs are from my Aunt's chickens.

Fading

Branches

Just before I took this photo, I took a bunch of photos of the tulips that Steve brought home to me. Then  I sat back and relaxed a little figuring that I had something good for my blog. I looked out the kitchen window and this caught my attention. In the end this was more interesting, even though I really love tulips!

Waiting

While I waited for Steve to finish getting gas for the car I took this photo. We got groceries and were waiting to be able to go home since we had a showing today after work. We are doing our best to wait patiently for our condo sell. May it sell soon. May spring come soon too.

Retro Baby!

While I labored away and cleaned my Mom's cupboard this weekend, I discovered these glasses. Pretty sure they belonged to my Grandmother originally - I just love them! They are my swanky new juice glasses!

On Our Way Home

We went to visit my parents this weekend and as we were heading home I saw this out my car window.

Morning Light

I love seeing the morning light pour into our little kitchen.

Stuck in Stitches

Have you figured out what my new hobby is? I've been learning how to crochet and having a lot of fun at it. I just finished my first dishcloth tonight! After meeting with my friend I was trying to learn a new pattern and my ball of yarn got squished into the side of the couch as I was sitting there. I just liked how it looked.
