~ 12 years have passed...

12 years ago today -- June 22, 2003. Lovey is home from the beauty salon. With sparkles in her hair...and...eyes, she is ready to begin the "happy ever after" chapter of her life. Seems like yesterday :-(

~ Happy Father's Day...

...together in heaven Lovey and Daddy.  We miss the warmth of your hugs and the sound of your laughter.

                                          ~ May 2008 ~

~ first day of spring...

...light snow falling :-(



I remembered this happening before, so I looked back through my blog -- and found this post from March 20, 2009 (click on the link below):

Ahhh...springtime (2009)...


The weather channel is making such a big deal about this -- but it has happened before -- probably quite a few times!

~ spring cleaning...

...out in the garden!



The snow finally melted away from the iris that I never cut back in the fall.  There's a bit of a breeze, but the sun is shining -- so my jacket was off and my sleeves were rolled up!

Time to make a garden to do list -- I need to get a new pair of snippers -- there's lots of trimming to do!

And...the tulips that Rick planted for me late in the fall are popping through already! :-)

~ it's march 9th...

...must be time for a birthday celebration!

~ today's view...

...snow, as predicted.



Schools are closed.  Rick made it to work, slowly, but okay.

Time to stop looking out the window and get back to my sewing room! :-)
