Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to everyone! What a gorgeous day it turned out to be! After a couple of crazy rainy/sleety/snowy - yes we got a dusting of wet snow, today dawned blue skies, no wind and not bad temps. We had a lovely morning in church. The men of the church or at least several of them, made a huge breakfast. French toast, sausage, scrambled eggs, ham, biscuits and gravy - wow what a treat. The basement was packed. Great morning! I ran the computer today so it was noon or after before we headed home. Lynn invited his mother and sister Joyce out for lunch. We had a lunch meal of potato soup and biscuits, veggies and cheese. He purchased several roses for me to support Wisconsin Right to Life. He also made me a trellis for the front flower bed to support my Clematis which is ready to bloom. We covered it last night due to frost - it got quite cold around the area.  Got to talk with one daughter and our son. Got to see our grandson trying to scoot across the floor. He is getting so big! We both got great naps in. I really zonked out for almost 2 hours. I also watched a really nice Alaskan video - the train service from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Can't wait to get back there some day!!!!!Miss it! 
Hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Early spring

Good morning. I have been a bad girl for not updating my blog better. I just checked on last spring's blogs and discovered that it was the middle of May when our apple trees blossomed and the Rhubarb was ready. Both of those things are happening now and it was not yet May when they started. Trees are blossoming all over. We received wonderful rains yesterday. Today the sun is back out, but windy. It is opening day for fishing statewide. Some years, the ice is barely off the lakes by this time and snow can fall. This year, the ice has been gone for over a month and temps will be near 70. I have mowed the entire lawn once - which was a bit ahead of most years,  and it is ready again. I have started cleaning out the flower beds, but have alot more to finish. Lynn is working on refinishing floors for our friends Chepil's. Today I am working for MJ who has a bake/craft sale to run. She will work a Saturday for me in June. So time to head out. Have a great day!!!
