It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.....

Today is Phoebe's and Stella's birthday (my g'girls).....they're 9 years old. Stella will actually be 9 a few minutes before Phoebe.  They are such a delight for me and everyone who knows them.  I know every grandmother feels the same but I just want them to have such a good life.  It's so scary sometimes when horrific things happen like in Boston this week but all we can do is try our best to allow them to live in a gentle, kind world for as long as humanly possible.  Happy Birthday, sweet girls!

It's very warm in our part of the country today.....almost too warm.  One of those days when mother nature is warning you to take cover.  We're to have storms tonight & tomorrow.  Hopefully, not all day because I'm going to visit my sister-in-law, Susan, for a few days.  It will be fun  to get away and to catch up with her.  We don't see each other often enough.

Everything is in bloom right now and it's gorgeous.  I've been transplanting a few of my herbs & sweet annie to take to Leola's for our May Day event.....

 

 

We're all finally ready to put our gardens in and get our porches and yards ready for the outside months.  Everyone has new merchandise ready to go to Leola's so it should be a good weekend.

These are pictures I took today in my yard (while pulling some weeds).....

 

Better get my laundry done and bags packed......times a wastin'!!!!
