 we are getting our April showers in May today....
a few sprinkles off and on this morning...
humidity nearly 80%...
down pours hit this afternoon....
 
 my daughter is healing nicely...
thank you for all the well wishes...
she sent me a photo today...
she looks a million times better...
 
 every time I look at this cactus...
I think...
Put your hands up....
keep up where I can see em....
too many westerns I guess...
 
 I'm having another Fun Girls Night this weekend...
I'm really looking forward to it...
looks like 14 for sure possibly 15...
we are making bottle cap wind chimes...
we have new girls joining us...
girls I haven't seen since high school...
over 30 years ago...(how can that be possible???)
 
 
 I bought these flowers at Lowe's...
$1.00 each....planted 2 of them...
now they have filled up my wheel barrow...
I moved the marigolds...they were getting crowded out...
 
a lot of beauty for a $2 investment...
just my kind of deal...
our garden is really starting to take off...
we should have a couple of squash to eat this week...
we've already been eating onions...cilantro and spinach...
it's work to have a garden...but oh so worth it...
I spent most of the day yesterday watering.....pulling weeds...
transplanting plants...I moved most of my marigolds
to the garden...I've read they will help keep bugs off my tomatoes..
if they don't at least they will look pretty...

Glad your daughter is getting better - had a scare on Sunday, when the cyst on Annie's back burst open. I got all the cloth washed, but I still need to bather her to get the gunk off her fur.
I love the cactus blossoms!!! I still use the phrase meanwhile, back at the ranch - remember that one?
