Pretty
This picture is about a month old now... It would be lovely if the crab apple blooms would last longer, but we enjoyed them while they were at their peak. This tree is really close to the house - and it's a big tree - so the view of the blooms filled a couple of large windows in the living room.
Happy
We have a "sun room" just off our kitchen. I put that in quotes because it's not a typical sun room and we're not sure what to call it. We've been told that the room started out as a true greenhouse, but later a roof and walls were added. It's still sun room/greenhouse-like because it has a dirt floor with a rock path down the middle and huge windows lining the walls. When we moved in, the room was a wreck. The walls and ceiling had never been fully finished, the windows weren't trimmed, and it was used more for storage than anything else. It was obvious that the room had potential, though. We've been working on it, but it's not quite complete. However, I did find some wonderful hanging baskets for the room. I like white flowers, and these are especially nice because they hang down nearly to the floor. It's making me happy that this room is "getting there" and looking better with each small project.
How about one more entry for happy? These 2 are so happy with the nice weather. Nearly every day when they finish school, they pack up their Bitty Twins and head outside for picnics, tent-building, etc.
Funny
This was given to me on Mother's Day by my 7 year old. I love it! She got some things dead-on. Others not so much, but it's given us all a good laugh. I suppose you'd have to know me pretty well for this to have the full impact, but I assure you that I'm not a dancer in any sense of the word and that I'm not particularly fond of goats. Yes, we own 2 dairy goats, but that doesn't qualify me as "likes goats", does it? The part about collecting eggs is funny too. I certainly enjoy eating and baking with the eggs our chickens lay, but the collecting duty falls to the girls, not me. I think I'm mostly touched that she thinks my eyes are pretty and that I'm smart; what more could a Mom hope for?
Real
The girls and I went to our dentist's office for cleanings/checkups today. Good news: no cavities. Bad news: 2 orthodontia referrals. |

"she likes to go on vacation" is what gave me a chuckle! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteYour sun room's hanging plants are beautiful - good luck with the rest of it.
My next door neighbors have two crabapples, and I was so disappointed this spring - they just began to open when we had a cold spell, and I think it made them shut right up; that was the end of it! They are my favorite flowering trees.
