Yard work

The beautiful amaryllis last week. Just starting to bloom

This week

And a bonus white one that HAS to be a dad flower he gave me as a start 😀 ❤️❤️

The pergola greens got a much needed haircut and I didn’t even question if it was too much or the right strands. I just started chopping. I think it’s happy with its new start this spring. 


My irises have the starts of buds. No flowers yet but I need to remember to keep an eye out for them. 

More amaryllis that came from dollar tree if I’m not mistaken. Coming up well ;

Last week the weeds…

Well I just didn’t have the heart to rip out the Mari b grounds of the ladybugs :) that and the bumbles were happily buzzing around the flowers. 

The OTHER Iris. Not doing as well :(

Look WAY out there….

Close up a suet squirrel feeder I picked up last year and just now put out!!

And over here…

Woven bird nest. I’m a little slow so I’m not sure if anyone will build in it, but it’s out there now!!

As of TODAY I got a wild hair and did this:

Before with LOTS of wild sweet pea. 


After. Wild sweet pea all removed…. Took a lunch hour but it’s done. On one side at least. I’ll work the other side tomorrow. And get something for those pots!!

Happy Easter

Cal in the tiniest sun puddle!

The void. Aka Salem :)

Enjoying the veggie tray and fruit while we cook a zucchini roll. Why?  Because I saw it on line and shared with the girls who said “oh, let’s make that for Easter”. Ok. So we did. We were supposed to use ricottas cheese and su dried tomatoes. We decided we wanted ham and sun dried tomato with whipped cream cheese instead.  It was good but we came up with alternative ingredients for inside as we ate!

I also brough mimosa ingredients. It was all very tasty!!

The girls got baskets (they sent memes of “my mom said she doesn’t love me” mom states “that’s not what I said, I said you’re too old for an Easter basket” and the girls says “same thing!!”). So I heard them. They wanted a basket. What was in the packet?  A Lindt chocolate bunny, a card with $20 and three carrots with the tops ;) because I could ;)

AND cupcakes. Yummy!!

We chose alternative ways to wear the rings. Hahaha!

We played push the dummy and had a great afternoon before Angela had to go to work and Butch and I headed home to have a nap ;)
