Coming Alive........

With the warmer temperatures and longer daylight my gardens are beginning to come alive.

                                                       The hyacinths are in full bloom.

                        The tiny blue flower of the Forget-me-nots bloomed out just today.

      I couldn't believe how much the peonies have grown this week, they are almost eight inches tall.

A dear friend of mine gave me this Red Bud tree when it was just a ten inch sapling. It's now over 12 feet tall. I noticed this afternoon that the top had started blooming. I'm hoping that it's as stunning as last year.

I've always wanted a purple magnolia. Today was my lucky day. I got a great deal on one and planted it  in a spot that I had been saving it for. Daddy came back as I was putting the last of the soil around it. He said he was glad I put it on the east side that way he could enjoy it to.

 As Thomas and  I gathered eggs this evening I counted 19, the girls did good today. So, if any of you need a dozen eggs let us know......

                        Woot...Woot....we now have new gravel for the loooooong driveway.......

She's a what........

   Bristol and I headed to the doggie beauty shop this afternoon. He believes he is special and that he needs pampered. If he would admit it he only goes to check out the ladies. 

He has never allowed Thomas and I to trim his nails. On the other hand Lilly Belle loves it. She lays in your lap and relaxes. The puppies enjoy also. Never once do they give us a hard time. They enjoy the kisses they get between each clipping. 

   We walk in the shop and sure enough this one female is standing on her hind legs to get a closer look at him. Not once but three times she's checking him out. I tell Bristol you've not been here thirty seconds and you already caught the eye of a lady. He has that, "I'm not sure look". Not sure why he has that look on his face. Then I figured it out, this dog (lady) only has hair on her ears and tail. I tell him she's a Chinese Crested Hairless dog. I get a, "she's a  what" look. Bristol ain't to sure about her or if he wants to be around a dog with no hair. The owner of the shop comes to take Bristol back and she does her usual, isn't he handsome, oh my, Bristol you are so cute. He forgets about the hairless dog and heads back to check out the other lady's in the house.

   As soon as we get home Lilly Belle gives him the once over to see who he's been around. He just makes his way to his favorite spot knowing that it's been a interesting day....a hairless dog...wow!!

Wordless Wednesday.......

Yea for Spring....

Enjoyed a walk with Sarah and my grand-dog, Diesel all 180 pounds of him. Such a beautiful day to be out side enjoying the sunshine. We noticed the magnolia bush had just popped in bloom

The bush is full of blooms, can't wait for them all to pop open. Hope all my friends took the time to be out side today and soak in some ray's of sunshine......

Wordless Wednesday......

Things that make you smile.......
