God's Crayons....

Walked outside and I saw this...

You should have seen me try to run inside to get the camera but do it slowly so I wouldn't scare the bird.

This is unedited...no filter.

Then I started playing with the photo editor.

I don't have a fancy camera...a Sony Cybershot and I don't

really know how to edit the photos

but I love this shot....:)

Spring's To Do List

It's here!!!

It's here!!!

Spring is happening around here!

All those days I sat on the couch with a blanket on me saying

"It's just too cold to do anything.....I'll do that later."

Well "later" is here and now I am overwhelmed at the jobs to be done around here.

And in the South Spring may come early but we all know Summer is just around the

corner and it will be toooooo hot to do anything.

So we have this small window of time to get everything in shape.

I start off good but I never get it all done.

And this year I want to garden more than I did last year.

Just add a little more to that "to do" list.

I did clean off the porch yesterday and started restaining it.

The hubby kept saying "it looks so much better......it's clean."

Okay.....point taken not so subtle hubby....I won't add back so much stuff.

But I have to put my red chair back and the side table and the flower pots and......

oh dear....

I found a cute metal flower to put on my red gate....

So that's done.....no wait....I've got to find a finial....

dang it.....

I think I want to find two cute ceramic birds or something like that to put as the finials.

Hubby will be so proud.....:) (not)

The pear trees are blooming and a squirrel is digging in the yard.

 

Rod Stewart is looking over his kingdom.

Note to self.....paint tree bench....

or should I call it

Rod's throne.

So I'm ready....I know you are ready....

don't give up....

Spring is coming....

the only really scary part...

the part that is not ready at all....

is me...

in shorts...

(shreek shreek shreek)

Bates Motel music.

At least a shadow shot doesn't show cellulite...:)

but look at my pea head compared to my body...:(

Oh well....

we'll add that to the list.

Doctors Orders....

Ugggg....

I have couchitis....

Dr. Do-Little said to rest and take two biscuitdryls...

and if that didn't help to add some gravynol...

Must follow Dr.'s orders.....

Don't Hate My Exciting Life!

The Polar Vortex is at it again.

Cold yesterday and cold today.

Everyone is a little stir crazy around here.

So when I bought a toy mouse for my cat and with the mouse came

this vial of catnip I couldn't help but trick my guys a little bit.

College boy:  Hey Mom!!!!  What's this?!!

Me:  I don't know....somebody gave it to me.

College boy:  ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!!!

Oh if only I could keep a straight face...heeheeeee....

Oh hold up......hubby just found it on the coffeetable...

LISAAAAAA!!!!!!!

heeheeeeee......

Okay...I'm back.

Boy that was fun.

Okay..now what else has been happening.

Oh......we found out that I'm not the only one that needs to start dieting around here.

He's mad!

I know how he feels....it makes me that mad too.

Why can't we have our cake and eat it too?!

Because we get fat and get stuck in a gate that's why.

Can chickens eat burned things?

I blame you......and facebook.

Cooking and the computer don't mix well.

The one sunny day we had I decided to paint the fence.

Of course I didn't get to finish and now it's freezing.

These are some of my thoughts as I'm painting.

Wow...this is taking longer than I thought.

Why did I decide on green?

I'm not sure I even like this.

I need to get a new finial for the post.

The house is brown with green trim what other color could I have painted it?

The monkey grass has got to be trimmed back...it looks so ugly.

Look at my neighbors house.....everything is so neat and perfect....grrrrrrr....

You don't see her standing outside painting a fence ugly green.

Didn't I see a Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll in the snack drawer?

BREAK TIME!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what have you been up to?

I know it couldn't be as exciting as my life is.......heeheeeee

Morning Routine...

This is me every morning.

Ohhh....who turned the lights on?

Is it morning.....noooo......sleeeeeepy.

Just five more minutes please...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This is my husband.

Oh did I wake you by turning on all the lights and making a lot of noise?

Have you seen my boots?

Hellllloooo?

Are you up yet?

What about coffee.....are you going to make some?

Me...

Yes dear....

Please Keep Thank You On My Lips....

I woke up this morning with Thank You on my lips.

Thank you Lord for this day.

Thank you for loved ones.

Thank you for friends.

Thank you for our furry friends.

But those are the easy ones.

Someone is mean to your child.

Thank you for the opportunity to teach my child to love even your enemies.

Walmart and fast food lines.

Thank you Lord for the opportunity to model patience and kindness

but also for having food so available to us.

Some men, women and children have no food.

Thank you for us not having to carry buckets of water for miles and

still not be sure it is safe to drink.

Thank you for a roof over our heads.

Thank you that we have to make a decision whether to drink coffee or tea.

We can't even see how rich we are.

Thank you for churches and education and the freedoms we take for granted.

Thank you for your book...the Bible...to give us the answers.

Thank you for hardships and crisis so that our faith has the opportunity to grow.

I can think of hundreds of thanks yous that could take up an entire day

so why waste a second  with complaints.

Please keep Thank You on my lips Lord.

Thank you for unconditional love.

Thank you 

Thank you

Thank you

Lord.

This is the day the Lord has made....

 The Lord sent me this glorious day.....

He knew how much I needed it....

I will rejoice

and be glad in it!

And I wanted to say to all of my blogging friends....thank you so much for such beautiful

comforting comments that each of you sent me yesterday.

I know for a fact that God sent each of you to my blog because y'all

are such a blessing to me.
