THE LILLY's

Easter Lilly's

My daughter and I were trying to remember how old these Lilly's  are.

 They were a Easter gifts from my daughter, many years ago.  They were growing in a container.  After Easter, I just left them in the container and the next year they came back.

They continue to keep coming back and this year are poking their heads up and will once again bloom.

They were white, but now have a pink tint to them.

The pot is also on it's last leg and so I will need to re pot them this year. 

The only year they did not do well, was the year I protected them, from the harsh winter weather.  Since then I have make sure they freeze and get lots of snow on them. 

I am so looking forward to another year of enjoying them.

BUSY JUST BUSY

So Busy

I am trying to keep myself busy and it is working.

I am working on a quilt that will be for my granddaughter Chloe.  I will be sharing pictures as the quilt grows. 

I also need to apologize for not leaving comments. I read, mean to comment and have a bad habit of thinking I will get back and do that later.  Then I feel guilty and never get back.  so I promise to do better.

 Also!

this is so new to me, I am trying to garden. Not a big vegetable garden, although I would love to plant pumpkins. No, just lots of flowers !  
I have started a competition with one of my neighbors, just to keep things fun.  the best part is, he does not know we are competing. 

Staying busy is helping.  Of coarse since I can actually go out side also helps.
So, that about does it for now. I need to work in time to write. 

Sun flowers!!    

ALONG CAME SPRING

Welcome

Spring knows when to come and visit.

spring knows when it is time for new life.

Spring offers a promise of things to come.

Bloom, where you are planted.

HELLO SPRING!

Hello spring

Hello Spring!

I am out of hibernation.  

Time to get back to life and loving all it has to offer! 

Trying Again

Hello Again

I have been under the weather.  I guess that is the best way to say it.  Other words, sick as a dog!

Which is strange since I am now a cat owner!

I left off with saying we got a cat!

she was super sweet and still has her days of sweetness.

Followed by being the cat from hell!

Drusilla, like to sew.

Needs things to be tidy.

When she is not working in the sewing room, she does enjoy TV.

So, that is a bit of life with a cat!!

This Christmas

Santa

That little Santa that adorns our  tree each year came about when my granddaughter Zoe was very little. 

I was shopping with my daughter and one of our stops was JoAnns fabric store.

On the shelf was this Santa and Zoe grabbed it from the shelf.

Of coarse grandma let her keep it!!

So many decorations on the tree have become memories  of times past. 

Of people who have past through our lives.  

I know this Christmas will not be like any Christmas in the past. 

I know the hustle and bustle of shopping will never be the same. 

What will remain the same is Jesus.

Today and forever he will remain the same.

The way we celebrate his birth might change for us down  here on earth.

But, the reason for him coming will never change.

Merry Christmas

BUSY

We are preparing

To bring Drusilla home!

That's right 

We got a kitty!!

I was actually on the hunt for another small dog after I lost Joker, last January.

You know how it goes, no dog quite measured up to what I lost.  Steve is a cat person, so a cat it is.

I was about to give up my search at the humane society. To be honest cats scare me.  In the past,  I have been bitten and I have been clawed.

so when a cat moves quickly I jump.

The young gal working there, said she knew of the perfect cat.  She brought  Drusilla out and oh my, what a sweet kitty. She snuggled up in my arms and started to purr. 

You just might see a lot of Drusilla
