Beautiful sunny day

I went out in the yard today and did a little springtime planting. I planted 2 Rose of Sharon bushes. One is white and the other purple or lavendar. The third one I promised to my daughter Shari. It should be pretty too. She picked the pink and red one. Can't wait to see them grow and flower. I also plante 2 honeysuckle vines because the one I have is growing so nice this year I figured that was a good one to grow on the other side of  the arbor. Leo is cutting back and tying up branches from the snow storm and then he cut the grass. It is beginning to look nice already. The leaves are coming out on a lot of the trees already and the weather is warming up. supposed to be 70 today and in the upper 70's tomorrow.
I'm doing well on my diet. think its 3 weeks now and I lost 8.5 #'s   
Maybe later I can sit on the porch for a bit. My shoulder and back have been aching lately so I won't be doing any more yard work today. Im taking it slow so I can do a little every day. The daffodils and some of the tulips are in bloom and they look so pretty and it looks like my yellow lilac is going to bloom this year for the first time too. It should be a beautiful summer.
Take care and enjoy Spring,
Sandra

sad day

My neighbor died this morning. the one with lung cancer and then it was in her brain and they operated 2 weeks ago but she didn't make it. she will be so missed by me and many others.... darn it anyway, I wish there wasn't a thing called cancer. Its a rainy day today because I believe the angels are weeping.

I was going to add a nice entry and was just waiting for pictures but haven't gotten any yet. Jasmin turned one and had a party but I didn't take pictures so am waiting for my son Dan to send me some.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a better day. Hope today is for you!

added a pic

I don't know what I did but I got a picture in so I guess it can be done.... This is just a silly picture I did with the paint thing on the computer. lol
Sandra

I'm just trying to add a new entry. It seems with the new aol or the new computer I can't or don't know how to add pictures. Why is it when you get somethin new you always have to learn everything all over again .... so that is it for now  :>)

HAPPY EASTER

I had a happy Easter this year. We all or almost all went to church and then to brunch after. I only took pictures of a few ( mostly Great Grandaughters and Grandaughter) I hope those with a camera will send me more of theirs too. There were 21 of us at brunch. I got to meet my Grandson Brians girlfriend for the first time and she seems like a nice girl. I just didn't get to talk to her very much because there were so many to take my attention  :)  It was a nice day even if it still isn't warming up.  
hope everyone had as nice of an Easter as I did

winter is coming back

I thought I would show you some of the flowers that started to bloom in our yard.... we did have a couple of days of warm weather and now the darm weatherman says we will be getting a couple of inches of snow again..... Easter this year will be very very cold. My husband and I were just talking about what we should wear and I will be wearing my lavender cashmere sweater and black pants with necklaces etc to cheer me up. I will probably have to wear a winter coat too. We will be going out to eat brunch after church with the family that still live in Green Bay so it will be a nice day anyway. I suppose a week later it will begin to warm up again. for good this time I hope. today its raining and I am staying in. Leo went fishing and got damp through all his clothes so decided to cut it short. He caught 1 big fish but didnot take a picture of it...
It doesn't seem possible that by the end of this month we will have leaves on the trees again. Until then I will bide my time. :)
If I don't come in again before Easter I hope everyone has a beautiful and Blessed Easter.
