Craziness!

On the first of June, Rick took over the business that we had both worked for over 20 years...I worked with the same business since October of 1988 and Rick worked there since June of 1989.  That means that I have taken on another job; which means much less time for all my favorite things.

I plan on doing some catch up blogs within the next couple of days...hopefully...

Have a great day,

Fire Child

All of my children love fire.
My youngest has learned how to harness fire and play with it.







Pretty amazing if you ask me!
Have a great day!

a check-in of sorts...

Another post without a photo...not that I haven't been taking photos, I have plenty on my computer. I just haven't had time to sit and blog properly.
The reason I have had no time is varied.
Slow computer...
Weather induced internet server issues...
Taking photos of my grandson, Jackson and Rick mowing the lawn in the weather break on Sunday afternoon...
Impromptu BBQ for family when my Hannah Banana came down this Sunday with her brother Brady's sweet girlfriend, Miss Kacie...
Getting ready for summer school at my work...
Rick taking over the business that he has worked for for 21 years...
Crappy weather, mixed with good enough weather to try to get yard work done...
A day trip for Rick and I to see our Snake River at it's finest display in years...
Hunting for Wild Mama's first batch of babies...
Hoping for a little time later this week to share my favorite photos from the past two weeks.
Have a great day!

Happiness!

Just a quick post to say how happy I am that my Hannah Banana came home for the weekend.
Spent some time just relaxing.
Spent a little bit of time having her color my hair.
Spent a girls' day out on Saturday with my mom and Hannah...too much fun!
I have no photos to share...sad excuse for a mom, is what I am!
I sure do wish that she lived in the same town...but I also understand her need to spread her wings.
Have a great day!

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday found us in church! For those that know us, they know this is a rare occurance! We were there to celebrate Easter with family and to celebrate the dedicaion of our granddaughter, Lilly SheRie.
She is such a good baby! She didn't mind being passed from person to person, even people she didn't know.
After church, we were invited to Becky's Parents' house for Easter lunch. Diana out-did herself. We had sandwhiches, veggies, fruits, deserts and an asparagus salad that was to die for!
After the adults got done eating, Jackson had an Easter egg hunt. Poor little man had 5 adults trailing around behind him, three with cameras. At one point, when he was opening the plastic eggs, he got a little disgruntled with candy being in each one. Rick decided it would be funny to reload a couple that he didn't find with rocks. That made for one very little confused and disappointed little boy. On his own, he decided that Doug and Diana's dog, Jasmine, had traded the candy for the rocks. Then it was a race to find the rest of them so that Jasmine couldn't do that to any more. It was so funny.
The following photos are my favorite ones of Jackson that I took that day. He has such a photogenic face with those gorgeous, long eyelashes!
Hope everyone had as great of a day as we did!
Have a great day!

Hello

Hello!
Not much happening around here.
I went to lunch with my mom on Saturday for my birthday. We shopped for fabric and she bought me fabric that I am adding to my Cathedral windows quilt.
Saturday was a lovely day! It was almost 60 degrees! It was a bit rainy in the afternoon and I captured a photo of a rainbow. My photo doesn't do it justice.

With the money my mom gave me for my birthday, I bought a Jackamanii clematis root, a bleeding heart, Icelandic poppies, Provence lavender, lemon balm and lemon thyme. Everything but the lemon balm and the lemon thyme are planted.

I need to dig the grass and weeds out of the front flower beds and buy some more perennials. I hope to do that this coming weekend. After the 60 degree temperatures on Saturday, we have had rainy weather with temperatures in the 40's. It poured buckets yesterday!

Got to love living in Idaho!

Have a great day!
