Back Home

Hello my dear friends.

I have missed you!

We have been in Texas visiting our granchildren.   We had a wonderful time and hated to leave.  We told them that we were leaving really early and that when they got up we would be gone, to which little Christopher replied, "You'll disappear!"  They are just so darn cute!!  You can never get enough hugs and kisses from your grandchildren.  They just melt your heart. I hope all of you grandmothers who can see your grandkids any time you want, apppreciate what a blessing that is!

So  I'm back home and I missed  all of you.  I wonder what has been happening in your lives while I've been away. I  missed reading your blogs and seeing what you've been doing and I missed reading your comments.

While we were gone Spring arrived in all it's glory. I am amazed how much everything has grown around here!

The first thing I did this morning and what I always do when we've been away for awhile, was take a walk around my garden and see what is blooming.  I picked some flowers too.

These yellow ones which I picked for  my studio grow like weeds in our backyard and in the woods.  I forget what they're called.

I picked some ajuga (which is growing all over our lawn) to put on my wicker desk. Right now we have ajuga, violets and several other little flowering weeds growing in the lawn.  They are so pretty I'm tempted to let them spread and forget trying to grow grass.  I wonder how the neighbors would react?

And some azaleas for the mantle in the living room.

I've got the dirty clothes all washed and put away and my husband did the grocery shopping, so now we are ready to relax for the rest of the day and recover from the long drive home.  Now I am just going to go and make myself a cup of tea.  Then as I read your posts, I'm going to pretend that we are sitting out on our deck enjoying the sunshine and chatting just like good friends do.

Your friend,
Rhondi xo
