Doesn't get any better...........

Don'tcha just love the smell of sun dried sheets? I washed my bedding today and got Dave to hang a clothesline for me so that I could dry my sheets in this nice sun we are having....can't wait to crawl into bed tonight :)

Even got my quilt up there too so that it will smell nice and fresh ...

Doggie love

This is Riley...my stud muffin...he was under the tree and moved when I went to get a picture of him

A little bit of Pixie dust

Gracie getting a reprieve from her puppies

Green thumb??? HA!

Cameron and I went on a date...actually he just went with me while I ran some errands and we stopped at Lowes to see if they had my Daisy tree...which they did but I got some zuchinni and some straight neck squash and he got a couple of different watermelons...

will see if any of them produce something edible

Oh the greens that are green


Springtime also brings out the colors of the evergreens...they always tip out in spring with vibrant green tips against the dark green background

Peonies

I love these flowers...they are so bright and perky...just wish they lasted longer to enjoy all summer instead of a few short weeks in spring

One of my peony bushes

Over the edge

I guess there are always signs that you are going over the top on something :) I have never had so many knitting projects going at once...I am a start it finish it type of girl...well most of the time....three of these are hat projects that I have started...I keep one in my car for when I have to wait for someone or something...the top one is a bear outfit that has already been ripped once cuz it was way too big and the middle one is the start of leg warmers for a friends baby....

yes they are in progress works :) you can see by the yarn attached

Hopefully I will never take on another sweater or that would have to be added to my craziness :)

Doggie Art

I just love yard art...have a couple of these picks in some of my pots...they just make me smile

got this doggie last time I was at Orchards...a local nursery

here puppy, puppy, puppy

A bit of Pixie Dust

It was time to get pictures of Pixie again..she was being so cute with this flower pot...amazing what a cheap "toy" can provide so much entertainment for the player and the watchers of the game.

You can see that the pot has been well loved from all the dogs.

Pixie doing a bit of relaxing and chilling on my husbands arm while he is sleeping waiting for the Geek squad to come and set up his new computer....this picture was pre-bath...Pix had gotten into something on her back so she needed a quick bath to get her unsticky...maybe that will be a later picture...a clean Pixie

All fenced in

We have lived in this house for almost four years now and are finally getting around to putting a real fence up...or at least most of the way up. The crew came over and from digging the post holes to setting them and attaching the fence completed one full side and about a quarter of the other side...this is the long side...I had them leave a couple of the posts long so that I could put bird houses on them

the original quote was for the long side and two short sides...and then doing the last side when funds became available :) well they had more boards so they continued on the other side until they ran out...now the last side will be shorter to do when we get the quote for that side...was amazed how much they got done in a day.....love that the doggies are now fenced in with real gates and they can't see the neighbors or their dog...or people walking on the street who they need to say hello to in their nice barky tones.
