    Busy, busy end of school

    June 1, 2012 - By 

    Ever have one of those weeks that you have all planned out way a head of time…then when the week begins you completely forgot that you had a zillion things to do?? That’s been my week. I think the 3 day Memorial Day holiday weekend was what started me off on the wrong foot. Monday turned into Tuesday in the blink of an eye. 
     Tuesday I was a bit under the weather…allergies and such.
    Wednesday was filled by inventory at the school library.
    Yesterday I got to go to the Arboretum as a chaperon for Little J’s class. I really love it there. We should really get a membership…but I digress.
    The girls enjoyed the Japanese garden…
    especially the koi.
    I enjoyed a moment of quiet serenity myself. 
    But we can’t forget about the flowers…
    So many beauties. 
    It was hard to choose which to share.
    This was my favorite floral photo of the day.
    Soft and dreamy…and pink!
    Today will be my “catch-up” day. 
    The team of fairies I wished for at the fountain never showed. A girl’s got to dream, right?!?!
    How are you preparing for summer?

    Spring is in the air

    April 15, 2012 - By 

    We’ve got a pair of chickadees busy preparing a nest in the bird house I plucked out of a FREE pile at the curb while on a walk last year. Those birdies have it stuffed so full that the nest is trailing out. 
    I’m not sure how they plan on raising babies in there.

     

    We are finally getting some moisture. It’s been so dry that grass was crunchy.
    The crab apple blossoms love it.
    I’ll be cutting some off in a bit to bring inside. Too bad the blossom stage is so short lived.
    My neighbor’s tree is further ahead than ours…at least I get to enjoy it from afar.

    Snow Day

    February 29, 2012 - By 

    The two words every kid longs to hear. 
    I was shocked when the call came through at 5:30 this morning. 
    I figured we’d maybe have a 2 hour late start but CLOSED.  Really!?!?
    We are 5 houses from the edge of our school district…if we were on the next street, the kids would have had school on time, no delay today. 
    Weird, huh.
    We got rain then sleet then snow then freezing rain then sleet again then snow. Needless to say it’s very heavy. Check out my neighbors Spruce tree. 
    Another neighbor has a tree leaning down into their driveway.

    Our dogwood looks pretty encased in ice.

    I wanted to take even more pictured but it’s rainy-sleety again and I didn’t want to get my lens wet.
    It’s so pretty out and warm.
