Well, Spring has arrived . . .

Or so I thought . . . early last week we had another freak hail storm. But on Monday and Tuesday it almost felt like Summer rather than Spring. We hit temps in the upper 80's, then yesterday we only got in the upper 70's. Today was even cooler . . . I don't even think we reached 60 degrees. When I woke up this morning it was freezing, only 39 degrees. Bbbrrr . . . It looks like it's going to be a few days before some of that warm weather returns. And as long as the wind keeps blowing . . . looking at this picture is going to be the only way I'm going to be able to enjoy my tulips.

I planted some flowers over the weekend, I think it's been four years since I planted flowers. I forgot how expensive they are and how fast it adds up, but I have to say that it looks so much nicer with some color out there. Now it's time to start working on the backyard, lots of weeds to pull and I'd like to do some landscaping around our lawn. I've also got to get the garden ready, last year was our first attempt and I think we were pretty successful with it . . . Joe has mastered the art of salsa. It seems like as soon as the nice weather hits, there's always a ton of projects to keep us busy. With Joe working nearly 16 hours days right now, I only get to see him for about an hour before he's off to bed. We've managed to make Sundays mornings our little getaway . . . to the grocery store. He works hard therefore he needs to eat good!

I've managed to be a little crafty with all my free time lately, can't share just yet, but soon . . .

Hi! I bought all of that paper last summer at craft warehouse. I believe it's Maya Road. The stars we're from the little due cut sheets that are right there on the spinning rack with the papers.
I am not usually that fast of a scrapper!! It actually wore me out! But I am pleased that I ended with four great layouts!

No planting here yet! Still working on those trees that the Power company cut down last Fall.
Hoping to get to planting soon!
Love your tulips, mine are pretty sad, weeds are hiding them.

Your tulips are beautiful! I havent planted but a few marigolds here and there over the last couple years, but this year we are landscaping and Todd told me to go all out. SO as soon as he gets that done {rain isnt helping} I'll be a planting fool.

You are a good wife. And he is a good hubby.. even if grocery shopping is your alone time.. its time together. :) Just dont bend over in the green bean isle! haha ;)
