Ant Bites

So I was working out side in the yard, when lo and behold, I got bit by several different ants. My left leg has four bites as well as my left arm. Go figure my right side must not taste so good.  The yard sure looks good. The flower beds are clean of weeds, the monkey grass has been hand cut, and the crepe myrtles have had hair cuts.  I have the wicker started with repainting. Had to stop due to no more paint. Went to the store and got paint only to have to wait till we don't have high winds as well as high humidity.  So next on the list is to paint the laundry room. I keep saying I am going to do it but I know I only have so many projects left till nothing is left. Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow......

Circle of Life

Circle of Life or so the saying goes. Well I was sitting on the couch yesterday morning watching the birds at the feeder. When Lo and Behold, ( I added that for you big sis), I see this little bird flying as fast as he can when WHAP into the glass he goes.  I think to myself OH NO. I didn't happen to see the reason for him flying into the glass until a second later when whoosh out of nowhere comes the red tailed hawk. He scooped up the little bird that had bopped himself on the head and away he went. He had a fast food breakfast if I ever saw one. All that was left was a few feathers floating to the ground. I apparently was shouting for hubby to come because he came running into the living room only to see me standing at the window.  His quote was that it was the "Circle of Life and isn't it good that we are feeding all of God's creatures".  So let your spirit soar with wings of joy today, tomorrow and the rest of your lives. Afterall it is the circle of life.

One week home

The first week back has been very eventful... I have already made a trip to the er with hubby.  He got bit by a dog while at work. Lots of stuff going on and it is only just beginning. I guess I didn't get enough hospital time while in Arkansas.  I had Mr. G mow the grass/ weeds and the lawn looks so much better. No waist high weeds to contend with. My irises are very happy. I think they have grown 2 inches now that they can get some sun. I hope to get some blooms next year.  I made it home in time to see two tulips bloom....yippee!  They are the best color in the world. PINK!!!! Happy Spring everyone!!!

He's BAACCKKK!!!

That's right sports fans my hubby has returned!!! WAHOO!  Life is good. I picked him up from the airport on Sunday. We both arrived home from being gone for an extended period. It was so good to hug his neck. We stopped at Sonic to have a burger and came home.  We both napped on the couch.  I got up and fixed dinner, we ate and went back to bed. We were tired after our travels. IT is so good to be home and sleeping in our own bed with our own pillows.  There is something to be said for 600 thread count sheets. Happy sleeping to all and to all a good night.
