When  my stepson was here we went to this store.  I said "let's go to Dick Blick".  He said there's no Dick on it...and my hubby said "they cut the Dick off." LOL  Now they only call it Blick...or at least that is what the sign says.  My stepson wasn't familar with the store at all. He only saw Blick on the front.  It was hilarious when they said all that about the "Dick" part!!
And after that we went to Lowe's to look for shrubs and my stepson touched some branches on a tree and asked what it was called...to which I answered, "it's a wheeping pussy-willow (well, it was! )...I thought he would die laughing!  So he took a picture of it and said it was going to be his new screen saver for his phone.  Too funny...we sure enjoyed his visit!!

The kitchen window in April...lots of greenery. 
Here is a glimps of the book project still in progress.  It is all figured out as far as construction and placements.  I'm very excited that it seems to have a life of it's own and tells me what needs to be done.  Funny that when I'm "stuck" a voice says just get away and do something else...and then a new idea comes.  One that solves the problem I was worried about. 
the inside is what I'm working on now...
Richie pruned the apple tree and so I brought in lots of branches!

signs of spring

Yesterday on the way home from work I saw three bike riders struggling to peddle up a very steep hill on a one way street. The bikers weren't dressed in all the fancy gear of helmets and spandex. No, they were college kids, in shape and young! As I waited at the stop sign a moped started up the hill. He had a very pretty and young girl on the seat with him. As he got up the hill and approached the first bike rider (who by the way was still grinding away) he honked his horn and then preceded to peddle his moped smiling and chugging along. He did that to each bike rider, Honked, waved and pretend peddled. It made my day!! ☺

Hello world! It has been many years since there was a post on here. So, starting up anew. My fingers are not used to the keyboard...many mis...
