The Rock Wall is Nearly Done

Another busy week in progress, but it's the kind that you get a lot of stuff done and feel really good about it.   And we've been able to pluck away at our rock wall project to the point that it's about done.  Want to have a look?

I just love the look of the rocks interlocking and so neatly stacked!!

Once the design was complete we had to haul away the rocks that we didn't use.  Thank goodness for the little cart on the tractor!  Next steps are to till the garden and top the whole thing off with dirt.  Then I'll be planting and weeding before I know it.

The pups supervised most of the wall building project along the way.  But there was a point that I had to put them inside.... "...how much is that doggy in the window? bark bark"

Here's Katie

And Sammy

Also, I am so enjoying all the daffodils in bloom!!  What a fun surprise as they are all coming up and sparkling in the sunshine.

It's funny how I vaguely remember planting a lot of bulbs in the fall, but by the spring I had happily forgotten where... what a fun surprise!!

Something about seeing all these cheery little yellow faces in a row really just makes my day!!

Almost Friday now... hope the week has been treating you well and you are making fantastic plans for the weekend (and Easter!).

Ten More Snaps?

Yes, lazy vacation-bones (a.k.a. me) checking in.

I had a quirky day, but it was nothing that a swim in the lake with Sammy couldn't cure.  So, how about ten more snaps; which is code for I'm too lazy to write an organized post.

I am enjoying working with this pile of blue-gray-whites.  Couldn't resist rolling it up before I started sewing up the top.

This little one was by my side for a lot of the cutting.  And of course as soon as I grab my camera she opens her eyes.  Doh!

At this point, the bricks and sashing were all cut out for the mister's blue quilt.  Couldn't resist one more shot before designing.

Had to decide what colors would go where.  Hard to restrain myself and not do a random selection.  The mister likes order.  So, I had to determine what that order would look like.

Ice cream!!  What would a vacation be without ice cream?  And lookie what I found when I opened the top!!! <3

Ha!  Doesn't Sammy just have the best I'm getting into trouble faces?

I didn't tell you, but she has started teething... lost her two front teeth.  Adorable.  And trouble.. the poor little thing is trying anything to get some relief.  Here she has a frozen cotton rope in tow.

Katie looking out over the garden.  Love those ears!

A moment that they are playing nicely together.  You can sure tell they are really starting to like each other!

What do you think Katie?  Yeah? We can keep Sammy?  She's so smiley!

And lookie, I got a haircut!!  Yes, bangs!!  Totally fab!

If you get a moment... today is also Sugar's (the Golden Retriever) 10th birthday!!  Go over and wish her a wonderful birthday too!  Sing it with me.... Happy Barkday to Sugar and.... many more!!

And this is my totally lame-o attempt at showing what I've got in progress.  I'll do better next week.  Promise!

Droplets

Finding something good or at least interesting in all the rain = happiness!

So, let's say a few nice things about the rain we are getting to show our appreciation. The rain has left my garden growing more full and tall than ever! My hot peppers haven't drown (yet). The watermelon is going to be amazing this year. Everything has that after a rain squeaky clean look. I haven't had to wash my car. There are plenty of puddles to run and jump in.

AND... look at this cool picture.. it's taken from inside the car, and I just adore how it looks like hundreds of tiny orbs or stars in a sky! What do you like about rain?
