We had gorgeous weather yesterday ~ finally!!! It was in the 70's , sunny, a nice gentle breeze ... you couldn't of asked for a better day. Today it's overcast and it's suppose to start raining and continue to rain throughout the week... BUT I'm not complaining ~ it's not snowing :)
Even Bailey Bug is smiling again:
All three of my kiddo's were over for Mother's Day ... showering the Momma with love and gifts :)
I received a beautiful potted plant ... called an Ipomoea. It kind of reminds me of the sweet potato vine.
PLUS a huge ... double decker ... quadruple feeding station ... needs to be put on a post somewhere or hanging from a cable between two trees so the bear doesn't destroy it ... bird feeder:
Yes ... I am blessed to have such giving and loving children :) and grandloves :)

We also have been very busy all of a sudden ... making firewood for the next winter blast ... doing yard work ... trying to get my flower beds back in order ... getting ready for the gardening season, etc... all those fun things that just all of a sudden seem to come at once when the weather finally gets nice.
Hopefully, we'll even get some time to go fishing now that season is open and we no longer have the bait shop and can get away once in awhile. We closed our bait shop in September of 2009 and we still have customers stopping in for bait. Some days I really miss it ... not! I loved our customers ~ but not the hassle of carrying a live perishable product - minnows, leeches, worms, night crawlers, etc... They were a LOT of work.

I also made up another batch of blueberry jam from some of the berries I had in the freezer from last summer's picking:
Those berries were so big and scrumptious!
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

ReplyDeleteHi Mel, Glad your kids visited and spoiled you yesterday. I heard from all of mine also. LOVE that huge bird feeder... Neat!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad Spring is coming to your area now.... We have some beautiful colors in our yard now ---but also lots of weeds..ha
The Blueberry jam looks delicious.
Hugs,
Betsy
Suspending that beauty of a feeder between two trees sound like a great idea, or between the trees and your deck. That'll keep the squirrels at bay too. Looks like you had an awesome day.
ReplyDeleteBlueberry jam?...yuuum!

Glad you're day was nice. Both my daughters called and sent nice gifts but I still have this cruddy allergy so we'll get together later. Did see them last week-end.
ReplyDeleteYes I see green grass in your yard finally! Happy for you. Good to see a smile on Bailey's face. She is a cutie pie. I love that red plant. So colorful. Your jam looks so yummy. I hope to learn how to make jam & jelly this summer. Blessings!

So glad Spring is springing finally. Now the work starts, or at least it did for me.
ReplyDeleteThose blue berries look yummy and I can't wait to see that feeder station with a full seating. Are you ever going to go thru bird seed.
