Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! It's all around...Communities will celebrate with an Annual Easter Egg hunts. Baskets and children will be ready and waiting! All that excitement for a hunt that lasts about 2 minutes (and that's stretching it). On Sunday, families will gather for dinner following Church Celebrations.
Yep, us too! I'm taking my Grandma's recipe for homemade dinner rolls to our family dinner. Wow! I love spending time with Handsome Man's family and they are always so generous to include my Mom, too. One of my favorite parts is the annual Egg Hunt. Rain or shine, rainboots or high heels (no, the guys just wear their shoes) all the grands get involved. The Prize Egg will be up for grabs this year...I wonder who it will be????

I hope you have a wonderful holiday and spend the day with your loved ones. And the Easter Bunny is good to you!

Oh, by the way...take time to seek out the new growth. I'm sharing a few with you from my yard. Yes! I stepped out of the sunroom. :)

Easter Greetings!

Projects

I'm working on a project, a project, a project. I'm working on a project and soon you will see the results. Oh by the way, did I mention I really like blues and greens????
I also really like to spend time touching fabrics and Batik's are among my favorites. They're so fluid in their shades. Happy Fabric! Happy Sewing! I love putting them together and seeing the finished project.
TBSL...To be shared later :)

Rainbows and Promises

This morning on my drive in to town I saw a rainbow. I've always loved them and the perfect hues they share. As a young girl I belonged to the Rainbows, and was taught of the promises and gifts a rainbow represents. Though I am a far cry from a country girl - I do take pride in being a small town girl. I love that the open spaces around me allow me the opportunity to be blessed with rainbows in the morning.

Driving home each day I am surrounded by wheat or corn fields. I am especially fond of green wheat fields. As I mentioned yesterday ~ green is one of my fav colors. :)
Today I noticed something that Handsome Man and another very special man, I'll refer to him as John Deere Man, would really make them smile. Our wheat is heading out! As you know I'm not too country- but the important men that are and have been in my life are. And seeing the heads rising up for the rain and sun really makes me smile just knowing they (HM & JDM) are! Smiling, that is. The promise of a healthy crop!

Rainbows and Promises!

Spring and Dirt

It's one of my favorite times of the year~I love all the green! In fact~ three of my color fav's are blue (rain), yellow (sunshine and roses), and green (pastures and the smell). I love the smell of green, mmmmmmmm.

I spent this past weekend with my daughter's family. I had some Nana Time at a T-Ball game! It was the best!
If you haven't been or it's been a long time since you have~~go! You won't regret it, you'll really see just how wonderful the beginning game of baseball is. There was a lot of playing with the dirt at the bases; and sliding across the grass or rather diving for the ball. Boys! Of course watching my grandson could have been a huge factor in my delight of the game!

Handsome Man stayed around and kept the farm running... Attached is a pic of the last pass. (In fact a lot of my pictures are of dirt and mud... another Spring in the country factor.) You'll notice a lot of dirt! I love how he can still play in the dirt and call it work! Really...it is work...he's out there giving it his all and loving every minute of it. You've got to admire and love his tenacity to get the job done well; at least I do! Because you won't see me out there~my idea of outside is the sunroom :)

Yep...more dirt -- I'm seeing a connection :).

Spring, T-Ball, and Dirt/Mud.

The Cap

Yep, it's time for a new Farming Cap. This is the last stop for this one...Handsome Man is finally giving it up. So long.... Farewell....
A job well done!

Mudding

Typical of this time of year...rain, county roads and young people equal - I can make it through, I've got four wheel or front wheel drive. Yep-it's Spring! And -Nope you can't :) . Doorbell rings and stressed face asks for a pull...Handsome Man becomes Good Samaritan and helps his neighbor. ~They are out of luck when they ask me... I offer a phone so they can phone a friend.~ Handsome Man makes me proud~he's a good man!
Stay out of the mud!

March Madness

Well...that is what they call it in Basketball Land. I hear lots of bells and whistles and listen as Handsome Man discusses the importance of each game and team playing - and oh! did I know this coach was here and now is there. Dr. Seuss has a book about green eggs and ham and would I like to have them here or there? I think I'll stay with the Seuss version, no bells or whistles :). ~Just good reading!

I'm glad to be back! The past two weekends I have completed two quilt projects. No madness involved-just the hum of my sewing machine. It's a comfort sound, quiet and soothing. Handsome Man has been busy with cattle and fence posts.
Check them out:
I especially like the supervisors that assist Handsome Man in his job on the farm; and notice the one laying down on the job. Good to know they watch over him :). ~Probably looking for an escape route.

Marching on...and Springing Forward!
