It's finally spring.

The dock is out.



The tulips are blooming.
Spring is finally here!


Piper and Liam came to visit Grandma.
Piper, 3 1/2


Liam, 1 1/2


One of their favorite things to do at grandma's house is to play in the porch.  This little play cupboard was made by my dad in the 50's.  It was in the "girl's playhouse" when I was growing up.


The five girls, Sandy. me, Teresa, Sue, and Cathy.

Woodticks are out!

I found a woodtick on my earlobe Thursday night.  Pulled it off and treated the dogs with Frontline.  Friday my ear became swollen and "weepy".  By Saturday morning the left side of my face started to swell.  Ended up at the walkin clinic with a major infection.  All because of a little woodtick bite! 

Spring is here!  Everyday something new comes up.

It's amazing how this weekend is so different from last weekend.  Last week snow, today it is in the 70's.  We even mowed lawn this week. 

Paxton came to visit on Mother's Day.


Why do they make blue M&M's?

Is it May Day or Christmas?

Couldn't believe my eyes this morning, snow!  Even the dogs didn't like it.


The daylillies are just starting to come up. 

Yesterday we spent the afternoon putting down 35 bags of mulch around the house.  When we came to the last few bags, they were frozen solid.  I left the last one to thaw and I'd spread it later.  I don't think that will happen today. 

I guess you have to look at the bright side.  I was going to repair the dozens of dog spots in the front yard today.  You can't see them with the snow on the ground!
