The Lady Banks

I just had such a pleasant surprise!

Some things in life bring joy to my heart.

Gardening is one of those things.

I definately don't have a green thumb,

it's somewhere between green and brown.

Patience has been my biggest enemy,

followed by the lack of plant knowledge.

But I love the act of gardening

as much as the plants themselves.

We left a much smaller house a few years ago.

We had lived there 12 years, plenty of time to aquire a fairly

extensive garden both in variety and in growth.

The back-yard was in two levels seperated by a small wall.

I talked my husband into putting a picket fence

and gate around the upper yard,

which was soon dubbed "The Secret Garden"

My current yard will never have a "secret garden"

but I've planted a few things here and there.

The plantings have been small and unassuming so far.

However today...

The Rosa Banks I planted 3 years ago 

by the gate bloomed for the first time!

I just had to share my joy!

Have a Happy Friday Ya'll!

Breakfast in Bed

Good Morning!

Breakfast in bed just sounds soooo luxurious, doesn't it?

Well, take a few minutes to indulge...even if it is only in thought. Enjoy!

Let's start at the very beginning,

A very good place to start.

When you read you begin with

A. B. C.

 

When you sing you begin with

Do. Re. Mi.

Do re mi

Do re mi
The first three notes just happen to be

Do re mi

Do re mi

Do re mi fa so la ti

Oh let's see if I can make it easier, hmmm:

Doe- a deer, a female deer

Ray- a drop of golden sun

Me- a name I call myself

Far- a long, long way to run

Sew- a needle pulling thread

La- a note to follow so

Tea- a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to do! Oh, oh, oh.

Have an awesome day

AND

remember...

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything!

Easter Tablescape

Here comes Peter Cottontail,

hoppin' down the bunny trail. 

Hippity, hoppity,

Easter's on it's way!

Bringing every girl and boy baskets full of Easter joy,

things to make your Easter bright and gay.

He's got jellybeans for Tommy,

colored eggs for sister Sue,

There's an orchid for your Mommy

and an Easter bonnet, too.

Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,

hoppin' down the bunny trail,

Hippity hoppity,

Happy Easter day.

Here comes Peter Cottontail,

hoppin' down the bunny trail,

Look at him stop, and listen to him say:

"Try to do the things you should."

Maybe if you're extra good,

he'll roll lots of Easter eggs your way.

You'll wake up on Easter morning

and you'll know that he was there.

When you find those chocolate bunnies

that he's hiding everywhere.

Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,

hoppin' down the bunny trail,

Hippity hoppity,

Happy Easter day!

Happy Easter Ya'll!
