Good Morning...

Happy Mothers Day Everyone!!

Thunder, what a grand party! Loved strolling through your yard and meeting your family.
Your quilt is divine! I was just smiling away,while learning it is of your own vision. Your DS is sure to cherish it always.
Also, what a great, fun photo of you working on his quilt. Looks like it was quite the handful to put through the machine, lol it would never make it through mine...Awe, and just love your garden Angel.

Betty, How sorry I was to to hear of Mike's mom passing. Please, Let Ann and mike know they are still in my Thoughts and prayers.

Well, look out everyone, LOL, Breenie, has hit the Road! Did her first solo yesterday, and has ever since, going here and there, dropping or picking up this one and that one...LOL, now, just awoke and has to "go get" my mothers day present, not hidden here... I'm kind of hoping it's a current photo of the three of them, if not i will have her take one today.

OK, so back track to last Monday. I went and shopped for my Tubby memorial plant. was home and had it planted by 9:55. At ten, I had a few moments of quiet in his honor, thought of a few of the jokes he passed on to us. I said a little prayer for he and Shirley...
Then pretty much devoted the days work to him...Know how much he loved planting and building things, so I took apart my little table from Betty and repainted it! Wow, what a job, but I smiled and thought of What a beautiful Surprise it was and Delivered in person! Now i need to work on the chair...LOL, Betty, Steve was amazed at the perfect match in color it was...lol, giggled and told him you had given me a bottle of the Blue!! He said it's wonderful and looks brand new again...From now on it will go into the GH house during winter!!
...I was wondering if you have any more of the Blue Wisp color?? I looked at JoAnns, and they didn't have that blue!! Yikes, i hope what i have will be enough for the chair, but if you happen to have any more, would you mind sending me a couple of bottles, I will gladly pay the postage and paint.

LOL, while i did that, I also worked on laundry, and other yard work...mostly cleaned the area around Tubby's Tub! Then while paint was drying worked in the greenhouse, by the way...Steve built the table frame on Sunday and Tubby's plant was the first thing that was worked on, I transplanted it into a larger pot!! It will remain in the tub until I plant it in the ground, then the tub will stay in the memorial with other plants, probably annuals...Also, i transplanted some Daisies around the face of the tub...
Then the transplanting of another area began, Julia wants me to do something different with the area, so need to clear the section...

Tuesday, got my table re-assembled, went to place it on the deck, but decided to clean the deck first, so all day worked on cleaning out the drainage lines...Then went Prom dress shopping with Sabrina..was thouroughly exhausted...
Wednesday, continued with laundry and decided to continue working on fixing up and washing garden art...Disassemble my Tin Indian from Liz and Kenny, got it re-painted today will re-assemble and get it placed under the pine tree, also glued the head back onto the cat bird bath, fixed up a windmill, and began a second house for my mini village, lol I now have 1.5 houses!! Then, I decided it was time to work on this fantastic trash to treasure piece, I have been so, scraped as much of the old paint off and then sanded it to bare wood! As much as i hate to do it, it will be painted, though, i haven't decided on the color as of yet. But they are very old bannisters from a porch our second house we ever did. ..it was of the Vicorian style, so I'm thinking of Victorian colors, Also, it was my first hiring job to re-work the landscape...So i will plant a few of the Stars, around the base, and i finally decided where they will be placed, one on each side of the greenhouse!
Thursday, sent DH off to the house, he is returning today...Wow, all of the sudden we are having all the mom's here for a bbq...lol said why not, but I am not cooking!! So, I think we are having 6 other Moms today...So far it's a gorgeous day, sure hope the rains hold out till late tonight...Anyway Thursday evening, the winds finally lifted and the clouds passed by again, So I finally had my Fire...it was lovely, I thought about all the work i've done, and all of you, said a prayer, was exhausted again, so as soon as DH called I went to bed..it was only 9:00 PM. And i slept until 5, thought it was Saturday, so started making my mental list of things to do...lol realized it was Friday, then wasn't sure, had to look on the computer for the date!! LOL, when driving Jake to school, told him he almost had a long weekend, we laughed...Then had serious running around to do, But i treated myself to a water lily!!! It's going to be awesome, got my baby plant for the Raise my baby swap, which i am sure i am very late with!!Monday it goes on it's way...Also, sending off packages that were suppose to be mailed a while ago, Had to wait for some back pay!!Oh then i also treated myself to a Bellflower and a Butterfly bush!! They are perrenial, so i will plant them this morning...Also, on Thursday, I decided to shift things in the GH, to a better working area and also laid 5 bags of Mulch & I still nedd 6 more bags, hopefull to get thenm today...Thought about the pea gravel, but decided, I just can't bring myself to lay down stone, since i've been sifting it for years from the yard!!
Friday...got to work on the inside since i've been outside, nothing in got done, so finished the laundry, cleaned up the kitchen...isited with the kids. Yesterday, since it rained and was gloomy all day, I stayed horizontal , snuggly warm and did a TV-athon!!

I really hate to stay away from you all, but if i get on this computer, Then Nothing gets done...my list is getting smaller and i have to say, I got a Lot done, Also yesterday, Kids were busy, busy...Since all the moms are coming everyone chipped in and we cleaned the house, getting things put away and vaccumed, ROFLOL, I woke up this morning and you would never know the kitchen was clean!! So, will wake everyone up soon and they can clean it up again, sigh...


In memory of Tubby, a Tub of roses!
I've had this tub for what 3 years, was a trash to treasure find, Betty and Liz rescued!
