Where did April go? \u00a0For that matter, where is May going on such a quick clip? \u00a0Slow down a little bit, May. \u00a0I would like to enjoy you for a while.<\/p>\n

It’s been a very busy Spring, but in a good way. \u00a0Easter came and went and was a joyous day full of life and blessing and fun.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7794\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My older son gave me these tulips which I have already planted in the garden.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7793\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My daughter and son-in-law gave me these flowers. \u00a0They lasted almost two weeks.<\/p>\n

Then I looked up and the month was gone and I still hadn’t planted many of my flowers. \u00a0I’ve been collecting flowers as I see them from here, there and beyond. \u00a0I seem to have a color scheme going which makes me happy. \u00a0 I went up to Smith’s Gardens in Taylorsville this morning and got my flower fix for the day. \u00a0If you have never been to this cute little shop, you should go there sometime. \u00a0So many cute garden ideas and so many beautiful flowers and they are healthy and well kept unlike the flowers you find at certain stores I will not mention, but there is flowercide going on at some stores because their flowers are dying from thirst.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0675\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of lavenders with some pink thrown in.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0677\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More lavenders and a pink hydrangea with some bright yellow Asiatic lilies for spark. \u00a0I am waiting for the stone mason to do our pillars before I plant around the porch.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0676\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The stone came yesterday and maybe by the weekend we will have our porch completed. \u00a0 Well, except for all the staining I have to do. \u00a0I did get the railings stained this week and I love the color I finally picked. \u00a0\"DSCN7828\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our snowball bush which came from David’s Grandmother’s garden is full of flowers ready to pop. \u00a0I wish she could see it. \u00a0Maybe she can.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7824\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have had some beautiful Spring sunsets. \u00a0The days go so quickly. \u00a0This life is but a whisper and then, it is gone, so make the most of each day.<\/p>\n

I \u00a0bought some more fabric online this week. \u00a0This is absolutely, positively the last fabric I am going to buy until Fall, or maybe not! \u00a0 Really, I think the website, Fabric.com is stalking me because every time I get online on certain pages there are pictures of fabric from their website luring me back to look at more.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0667\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve had my eye on this fabric for quite some time and finally thought I had better get some before it’s all gone. \u00a0I love it and plan to make a skirt from it.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0669\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another view of it.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0666\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Polka dot blouse, anyone? \u00a0I think that is what I will use this for.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0665\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t say what I am using this for, but I have plans.<\/p>\n

Back to flowers. \u00a0I can’t not show you a few of the plants I have ready to stick in the ground.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7822\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I found this columbine at Rural King. \u00a0When I went back to get another one, they were already all gone. \u00a0Get it when you see it or it’s gone. \u00a0At least that’s what always seems to happen to me.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7823\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Digitalis or Foxglove. \u00a0This is a perennial and I think it seeds itself, so I am hoping for lots of these in the garden in the years to come.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7817\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a picture on a box of \u00a0hollyhock roots I bought. \u00a0Mom always had hollyhocks by her bedroom window. \u00a0It’s an old fashion flower that looks good in a cottage garden which is what I am trying to plant.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7813\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A miniature fir tree that was just too cute to leave behind.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7812\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The lilacs came and went just like that. \u00a0Poof. \u00a0I barely had time to cut a bouquet to bring into the house.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7798\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel like I just wrote about rhubarb, but it’s been a year and we have it coming up again and I made the first pie. \u00a0It didn’t last long.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7801\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had never made a sugar cream pie, but it sounded good so I made one of those too. \u00a0An older lady, in the church I went to when I was a girl, made the best sugar cream pies in town. \u00a0When there was a bake sale, everyone came early in hopes of getting one of her pies. \u00a0I have her recipe, but this isn’t it as she used real cream and I used evaported milk because that was all I had on hand at the time. \u00a0My pie didn’t turn out half bad.<\/p>\n

Had to stop for a few minutes. \u00a0Sand being delivered for the pillars. \u00a0Their cart wouldn’t raise up because their battery had died, so I had to hunt up some jumper cables. \u00a0Grandkids, there’s a pile of sand in our drive right now that you would love to play in.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7807\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will leave you with a picture of our flowering crap tree that is always beautiful. \u00a0It’s flowers are all gone and David and I saw worm bags on it. \u00a0He’s going to take a blow torch to them. \u00a0We have silk worms everywhere. \u00a0Or at least, that is what we call them. They creep me out because they show up everywhere and rise up like little snakes. \u00a0Ugh. Bye.<\/p>\n
