After seeing a herb garden on Nini Makes, my friend Jan and I made our own. Nini reported that hers did not make it, but I'm hoping for better results. It was lots of fun to add the swing and clothesline. Thanks Nini for a special garden idea!

The Little Things
Sometimes it is the little things that make you smile. The other day, I was complaining to my friend - hmmm - complaining - about how far away my feet were getting for me to be able to do a good job painting my toenails! The next thing I knew, she was offering to paint them. We sat out in the bright sunshine, laughed and talked while she worked away. Now, I can wear my sandals to dinner tonight (:
Happy 87th Birthday
Today was Mom's 87th birthday and I made her a cheese souffle for her special dinner. It is her favorite! She came over for dinner and our only regret is that we hadn't gotten someone to come over and be a fourth in bridge.
3D
We had such a good time going to Monsters vs. Aliens. The new 3D is so impressive and there were times when I jumped because it felt like I was going to be touched! Good story too.
Spring Procrastination
"I meant to do my work today ~ But a brown bird sang in the apple tree, And a butterfly flitted across the field, And all the leaves were calling me." Richard Le Gallienne
Somehow this quote says it all. There is so much to do around the house to get ready for weekend company and all I want to do is go outside. We are forecast for rain today so perhaps that will inspire me to get some things done. This is National Poetry Week. What is your favorite "spring" poem?
Midnight & Shadow
Today I picked up my Kansas City granddaughters for a long weekend. Maebry turned 9 last week and we had planned to drive down to celebrate and then the snow came! Well, a neat plastic cage awaited her when we got home and then we went to the pet store to pick out 2 gerbils! She declared it was the best present ever! She picked out two black gerbils and I thought she chose such great names. It's hard to be a little sister at 5 1/2. I am going to have to think of a great idea for Linden's 6th birthday in August. We're looking forward to a great weekend and if the gerbils survive all the loving, it should be a winner of a present. Of course, I ran it by Mommy and Daddy first.
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
Just as the fruit trees bud, the snow comes. Typical Kansas Spring. Hope some of them survive. It was fun tho, neighbors came over for coffee, fires, under blankets, power off for a while. Now it is in the 60's . As I said, typical Kansas Spring!
Far, Far Away
Tonight I talked to my grandson, Jack, who lives in Portland, OR. He kept saying "Come over, come over?" I wanted to reach out and give him a hug, but the miles are to great. We are lucky. We can afford to make trips every so often. I know lots of grandparents don't have that ability. I try not to be too jealous of my friends who see their grandchildren all the time. I did get to see my granddaughters in KC, KS this weekend which was great. Love being a Nana!
A Patch of Sunshine
Today was overcast and dreary. I had to go to our Payee Program early and was glad to get home around noon. As soon as the dogs were out and in, Muffet went to the stairs and found the one patch of sunshine in the day. I have the winter blahs and can't wait for warm weather. It looks like it will be awhile. In the meantime, I may have to lie down on the stairs!
