My Pretty Primroses

Here is a picture of the primroses I got when I spent the day with my sisters. They are so cheerful aren't they. My sister planted some a few years back and they come back every year and even rebloom. I will see what luck I have with them planted in this spot. See all the violets, every year I pull all of them out but the roots travel and its a big job especially under a tree like this. So every year I have violets blooming, both white and purple. Here and in the back yard too. No wonder it is our state flower. It's the flower for my birth month too so I guess I should like it, right. I do but it is so invasive and it seems to crowd other plants so its a lot like a dandelion I think.
Hope your having a pretty day today, Sandra

Friday already

Where does the week go I wonder? It was just Monday wasn't it? So I had a nice week and hope you all did too. Didn't do much because I don't remember where it went, LOL
Yesterday I went out with my sisters for the day and we had a wonderful day! I LOVE my sisters. I am so blessed!!!!!!!! We started out at a coffee shoppe and ended up at a restaurant, can't do better than that can you? I haven't eaten much since either but am now starting to get hungry.... only had coffee and a yoplait light so far.... gotta figure out what to eat.... I would rather go out and look at a menu wouldn't you?  :)
My plants and bulbs came in the mail so now I have to plant already. I have to plant them as soon as I get them so I was outside this morning planting. Didn't get all the bulbs in yet but perhaps if it is nice tomorrow I will finish with my bulbs. I planted 25 today and 10 mini roses and 3 little plants.... darn I forgot the name already and just got them at Steins yesterday.... darn, too tired to go and look for the tag but they are cute little plants and so colorful too. Early spring bloomers... just like the one Janice planted in her fancy pot.
So it really feels good having the plants and bulbs in the ground like I'm supposed to and now I will be worried about my expensive bulbs from Dutch Farms until  I get them in the ground too. I suppose I should mark the spots now or I may be digging them up again.... I have too many so I guess I will take my chances. Some of the lilies I had in the ground are already coming up, some just peaking through and some about 6 inches high or more already..... and the tulips haven't even bloomed yet... Its going to be another beautiful summer I think!
Well, I guess I had better go and get my little dogs in and do something around here.... they are talking about food on QVC and they are really making me hungry... those Ribs they sell sure look delicious.... I don't eat much beef though so I will pass. I ate a hamburger yesterday with all the trimmings and it was good but I won't be eating beef again probably for another few weeks or more.
   so hope you are having a nice day today.... looks like the sun maybe coming out. :)  Sandra

Cloudy sort of rainy day

Even if its a dreary day I feel good ! I took the movies back from the rental place this morning and did a couple of loads of wash and straightend the bedroom and kitchen and went out and worked in the yard a little... Good day to cut the roses back in between the showers. actually it hasn't been raining for a few hours but is still cool and cloudy. Just right for cutting the roses back as they won't get harmed in this kind of weather. so far all that I have cut back are growing nicely. I cut back 9 so far and still have 6 or so to go...  Its also a good day for pulling weeds as they come out with the whole root attached. I should be still out there but I figure slow and steady wins the race, LOL after all I have all summer to work in the yard now.
  I may have some extra work to do in the following weeks if I can't get our sons to do it.... Leo went to the doctor yesterday and he explained the procedure he will go through with his eye lid and its more involved than we thought... He won't be able to do much around the house for a couple of weeks after. He won't be able to start the lawn mower ~ can you imagine how the grass will look at this time of the year not being cut for 2 weeks? It will drive him crazy I just know it. If anything happens to his eye lid because of him working we have to go to Appleton to see that doctor. I hate to drive but I will have to if something happens so I think I best learn how to cut the grass don't you? I used to cut it all the time when Leo was working so its not that I don't know how etc..... just don't know how to pull that cord to start it as Im so short and is fixed for someone much taller and I don't know how to use the rider...  He cannot pull that cord either as it may hurt his eye... I will just convince him we have to wait until Gary gets home and that it doesn't all have to be done in one day...Its going to be interesting for sure.  I just hope everything goes well with his eye and soon it will be forgotten.
  Hope your having a nice sunny day, Sandra

Cool sunny day

Did you ever have one of those days?????? I'm having one of those days...:>(  It's not a good thing is it.... I had a hard time sleeping last night because I was angry and trying not to act it... at a stupid race .... I don't think the races should be at night so I have time to calm down when the winner of the race purposely runs into my driver that was in first place... he ended up in 12th and the guy that hit him won the race. This should not make me so upset so maybe its this cold cold weather and maybe its just because.... I feel like screaming and so far its under control and I only complained to my husband once.... he kept coming by me and I kept telling him to leave me alone because I was feeling crabby.... the more I told him the more he kept asking me things and hanging around me.... He even bought me a present thinking that would work.... It didn't. Im ashamed of myself but I think I'm doing pretty well compared to how I feel.  Putting on a good front but I feel like yelling.... what oh what is wrong with me. Hope tomorrow is better.
Oh and if you got this far I wanted to tell you I watched the other two movies and enjoyed them both... You probably saw them before as they are a couple of months old at least I guess...The first one was "Wimbledon" and the other one was The Terminal with Tom Hanks. So if you want to see either one I say they were both pretty good. In the mood I am in today I watched Tom Hanks because when has he ever made a bad movie? It took my mind off my bad mood for a couple of hours.  Now I'm going to play a couple of games and watch a little tv I guess..... Make this cold weather go away .... Please. I was so happy when it was warm and everything was growing so nice... its still growing but I can't be outside watching it unless I wear my winter jacket...... Hope tomorrow is warmer. :)Sandra

Hi, I feel much better now..... not feeling like yelling anymore etc. :)  I just finished watching Pope Benedicts Inaugural Mass .... It was so nice. I haven't heard a mass in latin for sometime and its so funny all the prayers came back to me.... It really was beautiful.

Cold weather again

Not much to write about today...I went to Home Depot ( sorry about that it was Best Buy) today to see the new store and to see if they had some kind of a vacuum to clean out my keyboard.... they didn't but sold me some of the compressed -gas duster in a can. Not what I was looking for because sometimes I eat in here and crumbs seem to fall in between the tracks no matter how careful Iam..I do occasionally turn it upside down and bang it and then take some file cards to get the dust out but I thought a vacuum would work better . I did find a couple of mesh baskets though to put my picture cd's in so it wasn't a lost cause and I also got to see the new and improved store.
I also cleaned out one of my little flower gardens a little as it's starting to grow and some things needed pulling out and cutting back and there were leaves stuck around the sticks that needed cutting back... everything I planted last year seems to be growing... I hope this cold weather doesn't kill anything though... They had been talking snow again.... can you imagine after it has been hot enough to turn on the air already  ( we didn't)
I went to the video store to get some movies and so far watched 2 and both were not worth watching..... did you watch that Robin Williams movie? wish I hadn't as now I may have bad dreams. Maybe the next two will be better.... they look much better anyway. I will tell you tomorrow I guess.That is if its another cold dreary day. There is a Nascar race tomorrow night though so I will be watching that.... better than those movies I saw today anyway. :)
Hope your days are sunny, Sandra

Really Really COLD again

Another picture Teri sent me from Disney World... now I wish I were there as they are having nice weather. My son Mike called me yesterday and said he actually had to wear pants ( shorts were too cool) My kind of weather in the 70's. He says its cold, lol He got a new gadget he had to try out with his cell phone. He has a head phone attachment now where he doesn't have to use his hands so he wanted to know how clear he came in. It was perfect. He talked to me while he was driving to the store and while he was grocery shopping... Its a good idea not to have to hold the phone while driving don't you think? Funny though I kept thinking if this was a few years ago and he was talking to himself someone might take him off to the looney bin don't you think, lol
Well I have to go and find something to do. Its too cold to go out so I guess its house cleaning day today. Leo is fishing, naturally. One of these days I'm going to grab him before he gets a chance to go and maybe we can go somewhere together... :)
Anyway I hope you are having a nice day today, Sandra

Back to cool weather

Teri, my daughter in law went to Disney with some of her friends from work and made sure she showed me how much fun she was having.... seems she had to take a break and have some frozen confection because it was so warm. She just happened to stop at one of my favorite places too. She also sent me a couple of other beautiful pictures. I guess she wants me to come back for a visit... If I knew it wouldn't be as hot as it was when we went the last time in May. They are having their flower show time now and she knows I could spend a couple more days there about now... not to be though and she didn' t know it was just as nice here yesterday, haha
  We had grocery shopping at Woodmans big grocery store today. A once a month thing but I only get things I can't get anywhere else but Leo looks for his favorite things and he has a list of things he likes to buy every month... he thinks he is saving money but we spent a bundle anyway. I guess we have to eat though don't we...
When we got home Leo dug out some dandelions we had all along the curb. Now if he would help me and get rid of the ones in my flower gardens. I found a weed in one of my gardens that must be a foot tall already. I  couldn't believe how fast it grew already. Its still there come to think of it as our son Dan was over and we don't see him all that much and we had a lot to catch up on.... if I wait long enough maybe I won't even have to bend over to pull it out, LOL

Warm day, almost hot even

I can't believe its been so long since I added an entry in here. I must have been busy I guess, lol Here is teh other toad I have ... Leo fishing, ha. He went fishing again today early and he caught so many big fish he got blisters on his hands. He came home kinda early and said he wasn't going for awhile now as he caught enough ... ya right and if I believe that..... haha
 Today is such a beautiful day.. Its 79 here this afternoon. I put some dirt in my railing planters and added some pansys for now. They can take cool weather and I know it will be getting cooler as we are about 20 above normal today at least. Everything is getting so pretty now. Not just the flowers but the trees are getting leaves already, not all but quite a few. I think its 2 weeks early this year. We sure are having a beautiful Spring.
After Leo came home and ate and rested a little he put a edging along the front sidewalk where we always have dirt come over on the side walk... wonder why after all its been like it was for 27 years. I must admit it looks pretty good and I won't have to sweep there everyday now maybe. He also drilled some bigger holes in my railing pots as they got too wet after we both decided to water them and it was not draining... boy did the water flow after he drilled those holes. Maybe that is why I didn't have as good of luck as I thought I should have with those planters last year.... ya never know. We watered the plants in the front today too as they are in the sun all day and they were really drying out... maybe that means we will get some rain. I hope so.... but not too much.
I think I did too much today or started too much as Im beat tonight and had to take a tylonol. Started my laundry and hung some out and then looked in the boxes for summer clothes and brought a big box up stairs and looked through other boxes of clothes and found some to give away again... It is always too big a job putting away and bringing out and then deciding where to put things.... like where will I put my shorts??? should I keep them or give them away I wonder.... so some of the clothes are still on my bed and some clothes still need washing.... I should know better. I also went to Wal Mart because Mindys birthday is Wed and I had to get her an extra card to send to her at collage. We will be going to her party this week end but she likes to get mail at school my daughter says so Gramma had to go and get one. So as long as I was there I got some Miracle grow dirt and fertilizer too. So this is how my days have been going. I have been reading journals but then I think of something to do before I write in mine... 

   We are waiting to find out who the new Pope will be. Black smoke today and now its night time there. Wonder what tomorrow will bring?
   Oh and Jeff didn't win Sunday but he stayed in the race and Jr did pretty good and so did Jimmy but it was a strange race I thought. Hope next week is better. Should be interesting as its a night race and Jeff says he likes driving at night. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying Spring, Sandra

Beautiful day

I have a fishing toad but it wouldn't up load so I uploaded the shopping toad I got at Shopko today. Twinkie seems to like it doesn't he........ Leo was fishing today so after I hung my clothes out I decided to go shopping. I had gotten the fishing toad a few weeks ago when I was shopping with Leo but didn't see this one at the time. Now we are a pair. I will take a picture of the two of them and put them in someday too....
We are having a nice day today .... the sheets are almost dry so I'm going to put them right back on the bed for that nice fresh smell.... can hardly wait to sleep tonight, LOL Its not windy today so they are drying a little slower but should be dry by now. I put them out late because Leo didn't have my lines up early. He went fishing later today because he said there is no sense to going early as they don't bite until 10 and its pretty cold earlier. He was in such a hurry he forgot his fishing hat... hope he has an extra one in his van. I don't understand what lures him to the spot so often and for so long but apparantly he does... He meets a lot of people and he doesn't get asked to do chores I guess.... haha
Oh, almost forgot.... my foot is better today. Leo said it was from digging all those holes the day before... am I getting decrepid or what?
So if your day is even half as nice as our today I know you are having a good one... take care, Sandra
ps.... forgot to tell you about the lazer for Charlie... he liked it for awhile but once he caught it he figured it was nothing and walked away..... darn him anyway. I guess I have to figure it out better than Iam. At least it got his attention but I don' t know how he is going to lose any weight from that little exercise... he is just a lazy cat and likes being fat I think.

A sunny day

Not much happening aroung here today. We finally got the arbor in place and it looks really nice. I will share some pictures when I get some morning glories climbing up the sides ( I hope) I have some new seeds this year for climbing plants and its almost time to plant them I guess. I suppose I should wait until May though as the nights are still pretty cold.
I put the other arbor in the garden yesterday because we weren't ready to throw it out and I could use a support in the garden for some vines etc.... It should be a good summer :) can hardly wait to get out there and sit and enjoy ( too cold today) I went to the store today and to the Pet store to get a new little bed for the dogs and some food etc. I got a lazer for the cat because my vet recommended it because Charlie is too fat and needs some exercise. He said he has one for his cat and he enjoys it.... we shall see.
This is a pretty dull day today.... the fly lady isn't telling us to do very much... today was a day to throw away old make up and lotions etc that are over a year old. I found a few but most of that was done last month. Still have to get at my kitchen cabinets... you know polishing the outside of the doors. They look ok to me. I did 2 sections the other day and they don't look any different from the rest so I will wait until she tells us to do it again. LOL
I have a sore ankle and it hurts to walk so I think I will stay off it as much as I can the rest of the day and see if it gets better. I must have twisted it or something..... maybe in my sleep as I don't remember doing it. Must be an old age thing, who knows.
Anyway I hope all are having a nice day today and enjoying life, Sandra

Rainy Monday

We are finally getting our rain. At least we got some last night. Should help the grass grow now that its all cleaned up. Looks like more rain but Leo said it will be clearing up soon... He didn't get the back fertilized yet. Got the yard in back finished but didn't have time to fertilize and we don't work on Sunday if we can help it.

We got bad news at Church yesterday. Our priests are going to different churches ~ the bishop has moved them because they are badly needed somewhere else. We will be getting just one new priest. I sure hope everything works out for everyone because we will miss our 2 priests..... A LOT. Everyone was crying at church yesterday when Father Bill was telling us... He looked like he would cry too when Leo gave him a hug after mass. But like they say everything happens for a reason, just can't figure out this one yet is all.

So I have made my bed and cleaned up the house and am doing laundry today... Now I have to go and see what the fly lady wants us to do today. Hope its something easy. I will let you know later.

Hope you are all having a good day, Sandra

Kellys job for today is to clean in back of the toilet and on the top of the tank.... easy enough and then go to your messiest room and take a garbage bag and get rid of the clutter... Finally an easy one. I still haven't finished polishing the kitchen cabinets... :(

Hello everyone.... :)

Hi,
   We had another beautiful day today but I was so tired I couldn't really stay awake this afternoon. I got some pictures developed for Leo and a few odds and ends and came home and fought sleep. I feel like its midnight .... I stayed up trying to be awake to tape the Popes funeral and did make it to tape it but then went to bed and kept trying to get up just to see a bit of it... I didn't hear it was going to be on again tonight at 7. Joke was on me I guess but there is nothing like being there as it really happens either.
         This was in our church bullitin Sunday:

We found out yesterday Leo has cancer again.... this time its on his eyelid... he got it cut out but has to go back now and get it done again to make sure and then get reconstructive surgery by a plastic surgeon that only does eyelids.... Isn't that amazing. He went fishing today as its such a beautiful day. He promised he would wear his baseball hat and sunglasses... I hope sunscreen too. and I hope everyone is wearing their sunscreen. I sure will be more careful from now on too.

Have a wonderful evening, Sandra

P.S. isn't this little bug cute? I got it at Wal Mart today for $2 and something... I bought 3. It said it could be used on the edge of a pot or on a tree branch. It says the wings move in the wind.... I couldn't resist.

Arbor is going up.

Leo did a good job yesterday. He went fishing early this morning though and it is not in place yet... He has to wait until he gets some cement to anchor it in place so he might as well go fishing this morning. After all there isn't anything that is going to be climbing up there any time soon by the looks of things..  He has to attach some metal steaks and then bury them into cement. I can hardly wait. :) 
Did you see what that fly lady wants us to do today? Polish all the cupboards ~ now I know that will take longer than 15 minutes. She is getting a little pushy isn't she? I did some cabinet doors so far but I have a lot more to do. The ones I did really look nice though so I guess I will have to finish... Not today though. I think I will ask Leo to help me with the ones I can't reach with my step stool. Being short has advantages and disadvantages, not really sure which this one falls into yet...
  We didn't get any rain yesterday, bad for the grass but good for me because Leo was able to put the arbor together. Doesn't look like rain in the future either. Maybe it will reach 60 in the next few days. Much better than snowy days and very cold so I'm happy!      
Hope you are having a nice day, Sandra

Still nice today

It's amazing what one nice day can do for the flowers. Every year I am amazed again. You would think I would come to expect this to happen but I never do... It seems impossible to be true after the winter we have. God is truly Present I say. It's a nice present for us that have gotten through the winter.... I'm very happy and "Dad" I have a big smile on my face these days.
  We went shopping today and after we came home we decided to go again after we had lunch.. this rarely happens but I keep thinking about the arbor I saw at Steins and we had the money so as long as it was still wanted as much after a month went by we went to get it... Leo has to put it together and he has it on the front porch and is figureing out what he has to do first... I'm so glad he agreed to get it and put it up for me. I sure couldn't do it myself but he seems to think it will be easy. I guess some of it is already together but it still looks like a lot of work. I may have to dig 2 plants out and trasnplant them but its worth it and maybe I will have more room to plant my morning glories this way. I will be putting in lots of pictures with it as a focal point I'm sure.
   I'm watching tv and they are showing President Clinton and the 2 Bushes in Rome. I'm glad they are there for us... it means a lot I think. They need to be there. The Cardinals will be picking a new Pope starting in a week and a half.... I sure hope they pick well and I will be praying for their guidence.
It is so sad about the tornadoes around the south. Mississippi for sure and Alabama too. We were supposed to get thunder storms today but so far its been a nice day. You just know it didn't rain because Leo put the fertilizer on the lawn yesterday. I guess fertilizer isn't like it used to be and it won't burn the grass anyway. Leo said not unless it gets into the 80's.... then if it hasn't rained we will be watering. I don't think that is going to happen though so it will be ok. Today after Leo power raked yesterday we have some crocus' in bloom where we used to have them around a tree. The tree is gone and now the crocus' are blooming in the grass... We love it !
Hope you are having a nice day today too,
Sandra

Cleaned Cubbie today

FINALLY I cleaned out this cubbie that I have been thinking about for the last 2 months... You should have seen it before.... wow it was so jam packed I had to hurry and close the door when I put something in there.... I took a whole set of Encyclopedias plus the year books and I threw 3 garbage bags full away and also had a bag and a box to give to good will... Can you believe how much stuff I can "stuff" in a small space. Actually its a pretty good size as you can't see there is stuff behind the plastic boxes on top... How nice to now actually find what I am looking for in here. ONLY took me 5 hours ~ LOL
    While I was doing this Leo was power raking the front and fertilizing it.... He said he was going to do the back too but I don't think he will today. Its a big job even if he used both lawn mowers to do the job. One for raking and one for picking it all up. Now if we have a nice warm rain it should look ok this year. We make a good pair today because we are both pooped out... :)
   I finally got the pictures in from Home Town again... I think it was my fault I didn't get them in yesterday. I am impatient and probably didn't wait til one thing was loaded before I tried to open another window or something like that...
Hope everyone else is having a beautiful day today. My computer says it 73* here now.... I have all the windows open and am airing it out. I think I will eat lunch on the porch or patio now.... I know its already 3 but I was too busy to eat and had to calm down a bit before I ate or relax a bit I mean....

Spring Flowers

I couldn't get any pictures in the large way today... It was so easy the last couple of days and we're back to the ole frustrating hometown... sure wish they would be able to fix that so it works every time.
Anyway I got some pictures in of my early spring flowers. I was working in the back today and got 2 large garbage cans full of leaves etc .... Im also doing the laundry and I wanted to finish cleaning the cupboards next to the fire place but Im too tired now... I went for a walk this morning again with Peaches.... I think we walked slower today, but we got all the way around the block anyway.... It should be good for both of us... I have to get Twinkie on a leash soon... he just hates putting a collar on and then when I do he won't move until I take it off.... I guess he's a free spirit and I don't blame him but then he doesn't get to go for a walk with us either...
Well gotta go and get some lunch as its already after 2. Hope your having a nice day today too, Sandra

Sunshine

I couldn't get this picture of my other dog Twinkie in right so I am sending it small again....
I went to get the paper this morning and Peaches followed me out and she started walking so I put her leasch on and we went for a nice walk.. It would be nice for both of us now if she does this every day. I think maybe she didn't want to because her toe nails were too long... don't know but now she is raring to go. Maybe its the change in the weather although its only 36 this morning. The sun is shinning though so Its going to be a nice day.
Leo is fishing.... the Walleye are biting and I guess its the best spot in the country right now to catch them. There are a lot of people fishing but some of it could be its still Easter vacation. He will be happy when vacation is over so he can get up and move around and someone won't take his spot. :) 
Hope everyone is having some sun today, Sandra

Back to Flying

CAn't think of an April Fools joke this morning. :( I have been busy working again the fly lady way. I am a little behind because of my sore muscle in my shoulder but am better now!!!!!! I was supposed to clean the living room any way this month and mine is still clean.... I did dust etc but was supposed to look under the cushions but I haven't yet. Was supposed to do the 27 fling boogie Mon. Wed and Fri but didn't really do that either so today I started cleaning the cubbies next to the fire place finally.... she said only take what you can put back and get done in an hour. I worked for 2 hours this morning... I had to move books from in here to bring my World books in and that took awhile.... I had to clean out a shelf with yarn and put that in a basket on the shelf in my closet in here and then take  some of the golden books to put there and also give some of them away. I then had room for the world books. Then back to the cubby to clean some more. I took a lot of pictures out of frames and am going to put the pictures in a book or box and will take up much less room... saw that on the tv show "Clean Sweep" I believe. so I gave away books and old Packer papers and threw away a lot of yellow papers I was keeping. Most of the stuff can now be found on the internet can't it... Im so tired of just trying to find anything in that cubby. I always just try and straighten it up but I decided now it was just too full of stuff I don't need. Between the fly lady and Clean Sweep my house is getting cleaner. funny though I still have a lot of stuff.... wonder when it will end.
Last night I picked up after Leo and he wasn't finished with it yet... he says Im getting obsessive about it but really Im not. He was just wanting to go fishing I think, LOL
