The Spring sun has returned to shine beautifully today :) i'm feeling better today too, i think the sun shine, along with taking an alieve tablet, and some nasal spray, helped clear up my sinuses, and made me feel better :) as the day went on yesterday, i began to feel more rough/weak, and was worried that i was coming down with a possible cold, but it felt great to get a full night's rest, and feeling better today :) Thank you angel friends, for your well wishes, and prayers :) You all are so nice, and sweet :) i know earlier in the week, i had done lots of garden and yard work, and many friends, mentioned to me, to make sure i'm taking some nice time to rest :) it's so wonderful of everyone, to remind me to rest, and to make sure i let my sore muscles heal up :) i was so deeply into the gardening, that i think i didn't realize, how many muscles i was using, especially haven't used those same muscles, all winter, so as the week began to go on, i felt that gardening sore, which is a good sore, but knew i would need to ease up a bit, on the hard work, and just do some light tending of the plants, and looking forward to another weekend of gardening :)
i've been enjoying some nice time with family this week, and also enjoying some awesome talks on the phone, with friends :) it's so nice, these special times of the season :) my mom mentioned, about how she wants to grill some more hotdogs on the BBQ Grill :) i think this upcoming weekend, we'll have another BBQ, my mom wants to make a nice salad, like my sister Jenn made, for our BBQ last weekend :) both a lettuce/macaroni salad together, it's really delicious :) we love spending lots of time outdoors, this time of the year, especially on nice weather days :) it thankfullky is sunny here today, and warmer than yesterday :) We had a huge temperature drop, tuesday it was in the 80's, felt like summer was coming, then yesterday, it went down into the 50's, and felt like a chilly October crisp day, it kinda stunned us, with how chilly it got, but thankfully today is warmer, and we got the month of June coming up, to celebrate, the countdown to summer season :)
Kayla and Taylynn have summer vacation beginning, in a few weeks :) it's gonna be so nice, having them home each day, i know they will have lots of pool party's with their friends, playing outside, and having all kinds of adventures :) Taylynn and Alyssa (her mom) enjoyed going to the Mystic Aquarium yesterday :) they had a fun time there, and got to pet a stingray! :) Taylynn had a really cool surprise during the afternoon yesterday, after school :) her dad (Garvin, is back home, after being stationed, he's a marine), he came over to our house, to surprise Taylynn, and picked up Taylynn :) Taylynn sure was surprised! :) her dad, recently got married to a woman, and they have a small baby girl, so Taylynn has a half sister :) They had a nice time visiting, they went over to Taylynn's meme and pepe's house :) Taylynn was very happy to see her daddy :) it was very special, that they got to visit :)
Our dear friend Holly texted me yesterday, she's been having an awesome week too! :) i just wanted to share about how Holly told me to tell everyone, she says hi :) She also wants me to tell everyone, she thanks everyone, for the continued well wishes :) Holly is doing much better, and is having a really cool week, as her brother is visiting her, and family this week :) he and his wife traveled, from Arizona, to Maryland for his wife's niece's graduation :) they've been visiting, and Holly sent me a cool text, that her brother was bringing her to the store, to buy her a new laptop computer! : )WOW! :) Holly was very excited, and even took a cool picture of her new laptop computer :) yesterday evening, Holly and her family were visiting at her place, and her brother set up her new laptop computer, she texted me, and said, "our party's are gonna rock!" hehe! :) i said,. "awesome and cool!" :) Holly loves to watch her youtube videos, and dvds on her computer, and now has a brand new computer to enjoy :) we're very happy for Holly :)
With the summer season coming, i think it'll be awesome, and fun, to begin our countdown to summer season, with a nice, Ice Cream shop themed baking friday adventure tomorrow :) Kayla, Taylynn, Mikey, and i are gonna make ice cream cones, sprinkles aplenty, and going to bake cupcakes too, inside of ice cream cones :) it's gonna be awesome fun! :) we'd love to have another BBQ cookout themed baking friday adventure :) our first one was so exciting and fun, i am sure we'll have another, along with a campfire themed baking friday too :) We love to have lots of seasonal themes :) with Kayla and Taylynn out of school soon too, we may begin to bake a little earlier on friday's during summer season, so that we can bake more, and of course, MORE FUN, and more smiles! :) it's gonna be great! :)
my dad and i have been talking about the gardens, nature, and all of the nice yard and garden work we've been doing :) it's been very rewarding :) It's so neat, to see how many plants, new sprouts, are growing, and really being a part of the season, we love so much :) spring, and fall, definitely our favorite times of the year :) everything is looking nature fresh, all around our yard, and gardens, and neighborhood :) people out and about now, mowing lawns, and kids all playing, having fun, and the birds, butterflies, all around now, enjoying the gardens :) our front tree, dogwood tree, has grown new leaves, which is so nice to see :) We really enjoyed the pink flowers, and our azalea bush flowers :) nature, blossoms in waves, throughout the season :) next, we'll be seeing our rose bushes, honeysuckle bushes, and our snowball bush blossoming :)
We're amazed, at how many grapes, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries we see growing, and also, the pears, peaches, and apples :) everything is coming along really well :) We got early riser sunflowers, along with many string beans sprouts :) the sprouts look very healthy, and are doing well :) this is the time of the year, when we love to keep a close eye on the sprouts, as in recent years, there's been some kind of insect, that likes to eat the leaves of the plants, (sunflowers, cucumbers, and string beans). we try to take a little extra care of these plants, my dad bought some spray repellent, for the sprouts, so that we can protect the plants, from the insects. we find also, that putting organic soil around the stem bases of the plants, seems to help too :) it also helps the plants grow a lot :) We love to dig deep in the gardening season :) it's been an amazing stretch of gardening time :) i've gotten lots of nice use, from our new garden seeds i recieved in march, and recently bought, plus my new garden gloves, garden diggers, and our garden greenhouse stand :) it's an amazing feeling, to be soaking up the joyful times, gardening, dwelving into the season, and sharing it all, with family and friends :) it's true gardening happiness :) we love to garden for the experiences, for the joy of it, for the memories being made, and all of the extra, like the goodies that grow, fruits, vegetables, it truly is like the icing on top of the cake, or the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, it's awesome :) we love to be gardening, tending the plants, and feeling the energy, the sunshine spirit, the nature happiness flowing throughout our hearts :) that's one of our favorite joys, that makes our love for nature, and gardening blossom every day :) it's such an enjoyment, that we love very much :)
