 I love my  flowers!!!   Spring has once again   kissed and  blessed me with some vibrant  colors in my  little area of the  garden.......
 The weather has been so up and  down..... a few days  back  it  was going to dip down into the 30's...sooooooo   Out I went  and  snipped what   was   blooming....
 Or close to  blooming.......came in with  a small jar  full of fresh tulips  to brighten  the  home...
 Most  Tuesdays  I venture to Montevideo  to quilt  with a  group of ladies from church....well the  above quilt they had pretty  much   done except the binding  so I offered to bring it home and  finish  it...and   I  have...it is ready to deliver  Tuesday!!
 Pretty  light  colors...headed to some  mission project/
 This little  quilt  I  put together and tied as well..Though  I am not a huge fan of tied quilts this seems to be the  method those  ladies  prefer/
 It now  sits  and  waits a binding  as well..  I need to by thread to match for this to be  complete
  Came across  an idea  for  cakes  and thought it was  cute  so had to make  it  for oldest daughters   Birthday....she   will be 22
 Supposed to be a sunflower...not perfect  but certainly made  with  love
 daughter and her boyfriend
 Daughter  had a  classmate  get married this  past weekend so she  came home.....they  do clean  up nice once in a great while   LOL
Daughter with her  cake.......Hope to take  her out to eat  Tues  night.....


Not much  else happening here.....been  cold, raining, and  gray.  Supposed to hit  in the 80's  this week!!!  Just maybe  I can get the  rest of the  garden in!!

 Hope you all have  a great week

Recent Happenings

 Just after the  kids were  home for Spring  break.....Our oldest  daughter  comes  home and  goes shopping with her  father.....This is what happens when I allow the  two of them to  go...LOL.

 Hubby and I had  gone out  for supper  at a  local  bar and  grill and  was  gonna go  for a drive...pulled out  on  the  highway and  got  about  half mile out of town and  came a cross this lil  guy.....and of course  I could  not  just leave  him there.....so out in the field  he was  running in circles..scared and alone and  weak and  hungry....so a fast trip  to the grocery store for some whole milk.....soft  food.... stopped to get some gas for the  car and  told the  clerk  what we  found  but  no one  knew  what  kind of  puppy  this  was......
 so I borrowed a crate  from a friend.....she  came  by  and  this lil  guy   drank up  some  warm  milk....ate our  dogs  hard  food and  the  can of   soft food  we got  him..a few hours  later the  owner  calls for this  lil man......  he is the runt of   a litter of  6  and  had  run away  from the  crew earlier that  morning....  but  a happy  reunion  for all....
 We spent  Easter  with the kids.....or shall I say they  spent it  with us...we went to hubby's  mom's  for  dinner...above is the  youngest  daughter and her  boyfriend....
