Sunshine and Lollypops


It was a teaser!  That's OK.  I'd rather have one glorious day than nada.  Puts a little spring in your step. 
All signs of Spring were spinning and swirling around yesterday.  Out came the lawn furniture, a little clean up in the yard, putting away the snow shovel and salt,  hitting the road for a little spin, taking off the dogs clothes, stuffy head, pedicure time, turning off the heat, people out and about, fishermen, The Masters,  and  bikes out front of Sav On.  Finally, all the signs that it is almost here.  We have our foot in the door and by golly, that door will not close again.  So tease me, that’s Ok, I loved it – bring it on!  I dare you.

April Showers bring May Flowers....

That better be the reason raindrops are falling on my head....
When you have lemons, gotta make lemonade...aka Daydreaming.
Don't you just want to pick them up and cuddle

Bunny Celebration Day is coming soon.  Hide the eggs

I want some of these for my birthday, in case anyone asks.  :)


Too funny

Dandelions????  Does that mean Spring?  Yeah

Still the cutest!

Still waiting to hear if Kasey gets a call back.  He'd make a great Aflac duck


I want two of these for Mother's Day, If anyone asks:)
Going to learn to make cheese!  Can't wait.


Would love to see one of these in my yard.  I spied Blue jays, Robins and Cardinals yesterday!
Ms. Robin built a nest by the garage door!


I hear Ya, WE WANT SPRING!


It's coming!  I feel it!

I see you

And above all, watch with glittering eyes
 the whole world around you because
the greatest secrets are always hidden
 in the most unlikely places.

LOL

If only I had used a little humor while in school, I'm confident I could have been an all A student. :)







Geometry, Chemistry and Physics
 would have been a breeze!
Oh, I didn't take Chemisty or Physics.... and Geometry was not my best subject!

Just tip me over and pour me out!



Here are my latest little treasures.  Little tiny creamers.... Pigs, cows and ducks, oh my.  I'm not quite sure how I am going to use them.....but I just couldn't resist.  As I was checking out at the Christmas Tree Shop, of course, the cashier squealed with delight and said she hadn't seen them yet.  What was I going to do with so many of them?  "Don't know," I declared, but I will figure something out.  We found out we both suffered from China Syndrome.  That dreaded disease that makes you buy any and everything that can make your tablescape more fabulous.  
From one addict to another, I leaned over and whispered to her  “Do you have the lobster dishes?”  "Yes!", she said," haven’t used them yet, but I have them!"  Ahhhh, the sisterhood!  We bonded!

Betty bound...

Betty: A girl that surfs.


Neptune is coming!  By all accounts the next 13 years should be successful for me.  It's coming
and I better get ready. The planet- Neptune, the god of water- Neptune, I’ll take them all.  I don’t know what planet has ruled my house for the past several years, but I will have to say; that planet needs to go.  It has done nothing for me.  My mind has been stagnant, my body has been dormant.  Nothing has been working .... I need my yin and yang.  So I am hopeful that I can get out of my rut and do all the things that have been swirling around in my mind.  A new way to live my life. 
I have noticed that I have been discouraged by the state of "everything"  I'm not understanding the world.  The joke lately has been that we need to run away and start our own commune, a place where we don't have to put up with the "bad" things or people that in the world.  An escape, stress free, fun place to live.  Our own private Idaho!  Love that B52 song! 
So can I implement some of my ideas, make some money, motivate, create, dream?  I think I can! I'm gonna try.  I know I have said this before, but I didn't realize I had so many roadblocks.  :)  I needed Neptune to part the sea and align the planets.
So with great anticipation, I'm going to hang ten!  Neptune is going to be my new friend! 
Splish Splash!
