I can’t do mine this early, Billie. I usually wait until after May starts because of our surprising weather. We have beautiful weather now and have for a week BUT we know the cold is not over in Tennessee! Wish I could start now with the flowers.

I was pulling for the underdog..It was a terrific game.
Butler gave Duke a battle!

[jaycee]

Well, I thought it was a boy until you said that and I went back and did a double-take. She’s a cutie!

[MEG33]

Thank you!

Very glad you are “Fine” now! It’s a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say!!!

Thanks, Yorkie!

[jaycee]

LOL~~~
Hope you’ve had a special day!!

[tiapam]

I love your cleaning supplies! Flowers and a rope! What’s up with that? You probably can quit for the day, before the flowers wilt!! LOL!

[tiapam]

That IS, without a doubt, the BEST apron I have EVER seen! Great response to Jaycee’s “breakfast in bed” post!!!

Hello to all! Happy Easter! Late. :)

Love John Denver. Taken too soon.

We are slammed at the garden center. Just wanted to touch base. Last year was our busiest year ever, and this year is beating it by a mile. :)

Y’all have a great spring!

Ich habe einen guten Kampf gekämpft,
ich habe den Lauf vollendet,
ich habe Glauben gehalten.
2 Timotheus 4:7

Flowers of the Forest



Black Watch Piper

ICH HATT EINEN KAMERADEN
Ich hatt einen Kameraden,
Einen bessern findst du nit.
Die Trommel schlug zum Streite,
Er ging an meiner Seite
Im gleichen Schritt und Tritt.

Eine Kugel kam geflogen:
Gilt sie mir oder gilt sie dir?
Ihn hat es weggerissen,
Er liegt mir vor den Füßen
Als wär's ein Stück von mir

Will mir die Hand noch reichen,
Derweil ich eben lad'.
"Kann dir die Hand nicht geben,
Bleib du im ew'gen Leben
Mein guter Kamerad!"

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

LCpl. Curtis M. Swenson, USMC, KIA Afghanistan 2APR2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Kinda wondering about that myself! The rope, maybe she is going to put up some clothes lines...LOL....or give’em enough rope....sorta crazy, huh? And one thing I don’t do is carry flowers around when I’m cleaning. Isn’t it funny when you think about it?

I’ll let you figure it out since you brought it to everyone’s attention! Give us your ideas.
