Spring

 I am not sure where this year is going at all.... DANG  soon April folks!   Youngest  daughter and  hr  boyfriend  riding on a new toy..good for   lawn care and fishing  LOL  may I say  multi purpose  buggy....yes!!!

 Not long after the  kids had  Spring  break...the snow melted and  we  had  some gorgeous  days  even  a few in the  upper 60's and  low 70"s..then one afternoon  I hear what  I love..thunder rolling in from the  West....I am not sure why  I am so addicted to storm  clouds....

 But  I have always  loved  to watch them...and within a few minutes of these  photos  we got our first  Spring  rain....

 This si what  it looked  liked  right before the  rains

 So much  moisture  we need this.....Been an unusual dry  winter...very  mild for us and that  usually  means  a drought to  follow for the  farmers

 Wahlah!!  Look  at the  difference after the rain.... just greened right  up..amazing huh/

 Now that means   if this  keeps up by  Mid April I might have to mow and I am  not at all crazy about that  idea.....   But  the  green is  welcome  :)

I even  got  some stuff in hot  box  started.....far left is   Roma  Tomatoes/ The  middle is  purple  cornflowers.....and the right side is  Broccoli/   Hope if  weather  permits I  will be  planting  spuds on Good Friday!!


Caught myself a  slight head  cold so  took  today off....Rumor has it that flu  has  hit   some schools and  nursing  homes in the  area....Sure hope I can  stay clear of that!!  So back to my cough drops  and Kleenex and soups....

Hope you all  have a  Blessed week!

 Oh Happy Day...The sun   is shining...The  breeze  is just soft  and actually warm enough for me to sit out side on the   deck with the  dogs  basking in their  Vitamin D as well and  read!!

 Been  reading up on essential oils....and what  I can do with them.....and the fun I have had!!   I created these little  creams  using  an unscented lotion and sunflower oil  along with  lemon grass....
I made a dozen and  put them in my shop and  in four days  bam they were  gone  *laughs*/
Soooo  today  when I got home  I made some more......  :)

 Sometimes I just need to  sit...and  when I find myself  just sitting is   when i can become  most creative...and not sure why that  is...... but will share  with  you some of the  art trading  cards  I did  this past week  in between clients....The one above  was created using  scrap book  papers and cardstock as the base., and the dog  is  from a magazine

 I am not sure yet what words  I wish to put on this one  but it  was created using  card stock  and paper from one of my church bulletins....

 Cardstock, scrap books papers and  a church  bulletin and  some words  for inspiration  from a magazine

 I love this  kitten......cardstock and magazine

 My youngest daughter was  home on spring  break this past week and s he  said this was her favorite....... index card as  my base....(recycle ya  know)  and then some scrap book papers and the olive oil   is a  magazine photo.

This kitty  is so  bright she can not help but make me  smile........

and with all that  once again I wish you all  a very  healthy and  Blessed week....... Enjoy  the  days and  life...as  we all know it is too precious  to waste!

March already?

Oh where has time gone?   Here  we are  March 1.....WOW......Normally  I dread winter   as it is  long  cold and  drawn out  but  this year  we have  had  such  nice weather  it has  just  flown  by....Not too far  off now  will be garden season! 

I do  hope to once again be able to  get a  decent  garden in and perhaps  get some  serious  canning  done this  year...running  on short  supply!

We did  have  some  rain and snow mix  causing some  road issues  yesterday and  today  the  sun  came  out  and felt so good!!  We did  close to six  inches in the yard  so  had to  do some shovel work  but  nothing too major!

Well I know in a post  not  too long ago  I  shared about  some  essential oils...I have got to tell ya  I am loving this   stuff!!  So much that  I became   a consultant *laughs* as  if I did not have  enough to do  but....  I had  several  clients  interested   so   I did  some work  and  able to deliver  for them  what  they  were seeking.....

I sat up my massage chair  at  two events  lately and applied some oils and  did  some neck and shoulder  treatments and  just met  new people.....Simply wonderful!!  Who would have  thought  I would  ever  be  doing this too!!  LOL  Not  ME!!!!


Any  how  if you want to  take a sneak peek at what they are  here ya  go.....

Essential oils

So in the mean  time  I hope you all have  a great weekend......



Blessings~
