Blooming


I found this sweetie last night at dusk.
There are more today . Spring is here.


Hubby took two days off, we've been busy.
We went to WildLife Prairie State Park
and to Starved Rock State Park.
Seeing the animals native to our area at Wildlife Prairie Park.
We hiked and saw the floods at Starved Rock.. ..our river
is at one of the highest levels it's ever been.

I'm doing good.. 

Please pray
for Pat, Carol, Cheryl, Michelle, Sandra, Dee, Cora & others who
are hurting and ill.


Joys

a daffodil
eagles
a warm day
feeling good enough to go walking

    My tulip greens are about 4 inches tall today. I keep watching them and waiting for that day they show their lovely color.

    I might have to add daffodils in the fall for some earlier blooms.

    Glad to hear you are feeling well enough to enjoy some hiking.

    Blessings,

    Becky

    My crocus are up but my daffodils will take a while. They are late bloomers. Yours must be on the South side of the house. Walking? Wow. Good for you. See you Thurs.

    Gosh Deena...we have had sleet, hail and snow the past several days...yucky and damp. I don't see anything blooming just yet except in the grocery stores. I bought myself a few Primrose so I would have something Springish to look at.

    Glad to hear you are doing GOOD.
    Hugs,

    Here in Southeast Texas, spring has sprung for sure. My azaleas bloomed profusely for the past three weeks. They're about gone for another year already.

    Enjoy the warmth. Glad you're feeling well.

    Deena,
    Where did you find the vintage lunch pail behind the flower? I have been looking for one. I absolutely love daffodils and wait impatiently for mine to open their pretty faces out my window.

    Deena, glad hubby took a few days to be with you. Al took an entire week off because of the bad nicotine withdrawals---guess I deserve that part. I have my Confederate Jessmin blooming and the rest is still dormant. Love and Hugs, Pat

    I'm so very glad you're doing well--I think of you all the time, Deena! I don't know if you've seen this blog, but Renee of "Circling My Head" was the one who won my giveaway today--her profile says she has Stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer--maybe you'd like to visit her blog and offer some encouraging words--I can't think of a sweeter lady than you to send her a note. Her blog address is: http://www.circlingmyhead.blogspot.com
    Thank you Deena, Love, Jann

    Middle Tn is enjoying a taste of Spring. I have been really busy with company etc and have not dropped by for awhile. Sounds like you are doing great which is a blessing. I too like Danny Gokey and hated it when Adam Lambert slaughter Johnny Cash's song. I think Adam is a strung out looking Elvis. Lil Rounds is my favorite female singer. I also like Matt even though he is too much like Timberlake at times.
    Peace

    Hi Deena, Just checking to see how you are doing. You must be doing great --since you are out hiking... Praise be to God!!!!

    One of my best friends has Breast Cancer and it has come back recently. It's in her bones in several places--and maybe her lungs/liver. Please pray for her. She lives near Atlanta.

    Hope you continue to stay heatlhy.
    Hugs,
    Betsy
