Welcome!

I just took the kids to see that new movie "Earth" yesterday. It was so awesome. I figured that I couldn't go wrong. It was rated G and was Disney (not like they've NEVER had questionable entertainment, but it was "G"). It was spectacular. I thought I'd go and fall asleep, but it was really goooood! Now, I don't want to be one of those people that hype things up and then you go to see it and it's 'okay'. If you like National Geographic-type shows, I HIGHLY recommend this. It really makes you appreciate how absolutely magnificent our Creator is! It was beautifully done and be sure you stay for the 'extra' footage after the movie. Don't you hate it when people are leaving during the credits and some of the BEST stuff is showing! Ever since Toy Story I've been a credit watcher. Now it's hard to find a movie that doesn't show extra stuff. Okay, enough rambling about the movie...

Can you believe the weather? Hello 80's! Welcome! I love spring. It's such a nice relief after a winter (no matter how good or bad winter was) to see the first tulip or hyacinth. I usually get a crocus creeping up through the shallow snow. They only stay for a few days, but it's like it's saying, "Don't get discouraged. Spring's coming. Start those tomatoes!" Seeing my magnolia bush, corral bells..., tulips, lambs ear, redbud blooming, catnip, hostas peeking out, japanese maple budding (which by the way I started from a seedling last year and is now about 12" tall - take that Lowe's! $50 bucks for a tree! C'mon!), spirea bushes budding, and this was a tiny piece of comphrey that Mamaw gave me last year and look how big it's gotten already!, I'm not really sure....?? But, hey! He's back!peonies stretching up, mini hollihocks.... (I could go on forever. My garden isn't impressive, but it's mine!:-) all of them blooming, budding, peeking, etc. it's like old friends that moved away and came back for a visit. Welcome friends! And can you believe the fre@k%n ice cream truck has been coming around already. $2 for a cone?! No thank you. I'll go to Youngs Jersey Dairy and get fresh, homemade cream for that price! And we get to feed the goats and smell the cow poo, so there! I would love to join a few local folks and swap pinches of flowers. When I moved to this house all I wanted were rocks and plants. I thought is would be kinda nice having things from my dear friends' and families' yards in mine, no matter how great or small, a flower is a flower after all! Again Welcome!
