Silly indulgence?

I set out thismorning to do a few things while waiting for the bank to open I thought I'd stop at Frenchys, our very well known 2nd hand store, there are several across Nova Scotia. My husband is very tolerant of my "habit" and somethings are totally useless, well not today this is what I found, I think it was ment to be....I love Eeyore, he is the color of my Emily and my Max has the same personality as Eeyore, plus his little pillow has January on it, my birth month....so it was ment to be, correct?

Of course I bought some other items, hubby a pair of Dockers pants, son a tee shirt and future Grandbaby a Beatrix Potter sleeper, plus Eeyore all for $12.15 ( including taxes, of course) oh I forgot I also picked up a tank top for myself. Over the past month I have also collected shoes, dress and a sweater and pruse to wear to a wedding tomorrow. I can not remember when the last time I bought something for myself at a store brand new. *I do buy new undies and bras*, that would be gross!!

I hope you like my little find, I was so excited I had to share....it doesn't take much to excite me!

Happy Days!

Lots and lots of Lady Slippers

This evening my husband and I took a stroll through our local campground and we found a very large patch of lady slippers, actually we found a few large patches of the very pretty flowers. It is not a very nice weekend to camp, rained all afternoon and drizzlie now, so not so surprising that only 3 sites out of 62 were occupied. We will wait for a nice sunny weekend to go over camping, just walking through though we wanted to stay. Hope your weekend is sunny!

Writers block...............

I am so ashamed that I haven't had any interest in my blog for quite some time. There doesn't seem to be anything worth while to blog about. I can hear you now....that is if someone actually is reading this....there must be something to tell. Well here goes.........
Spring came my trees bloomed, lilac, apple, cherry, snowball, quince. I mostly have lilies planted so not many flowers to tell about. I did buy some new ones but waiting for the last frost to plant. I bought a new hosta of a different color leaf, a blanket flower, bell flower, Jacob's ladder, and hubby 2 blueberry trees for Father's Day.
We bought a small plastic greenhouse, I haven't planted anything yet due to frost risk...I am so new at this garden thing! I did plant tomato seeds in the house and put them in the greenhouse each day and bring them in the house at night, they are doing quite well.
We had planned to go camping this past long weekend but, first son, now 20, suddenly moved home with girlfriend and they are living in the camper. They have been here since April 28th. They are in the process of buying and fixing up their first home. Replacing bathroom fixtures and painting, but he is trying to do as much as he can and is learning by watching and helping. We have been going to yard sales to pick up furniture, and family is parting with odds and ends to help out.
We are adjusting to fact that we are going to be Grandparents in November.....and will stand behind them and help where ever we can.
Writing this much has taken 1 1/2 hours, lots of writing, deleting and rewriting. I guess I have too much time on my hands, yea.. still not back to work.
Just a little glimpse into what has been going on in my neck of the woods.
Thanks for asking about me, you know who you are, I've sat around having my own pitty party for too long. I'mmmm back!!

Mayflowers

We took a stroll along our paths in search of Mayflowers. They have one of my favorite scents for flowers, they are also Nova Scotia's provincial flower. In places there are blankets of them all covered in leaves, amazing how they can bloom under all the leaves. The vase even matches.
Another sign of Spring!!

Daffodils are blooming!

Finally my daffodils have bloomed, I cut a bunch for the dining table for Easter dinner, they are so pretty. The fence is working well the chickens haven't been in for awhile. Happy belated Easter!!

My gardeners are hard at work!

My little garden helpers have been busy loosening up the soil, crocuses are blooming in front of the tall rock. The daffodils are getting a little taller. I guess the fence isn't working too well! We are at the end of some absolutely lovely weather, the weather lady is saying back to normal temps....low single digits and some much needed rain. That is ok, as it is officially Spring!!!
HAPPY SPRING!!

Thank you fellow bloggers....

It is fun to learn about fellow bloggers and their "neck of the woods". I enjoy visiting everyone's blog. Learning a little of this and that about everyone. I am putting some information to good use.
I hope no one minds if they get mentioned here...."From My Front Porch in the Mountains" had a terrible thing happen to Annie - she choked on a carrot - thankfully she is fine. The past several months we've been feeding the donkeys ground flax mixed with their chopped carrots at bedtime. I t seemed to be quite hard to swallow. Since I read about Annie awhile back, I've been pureeing their carrots and mixing it with water and the flax, making a mash. 2/3 cup carrot, 1/3 cup flax and 1/2 cup water....they love it, and gobble it right down. Max has a , not a split, but a ...what word am I looking for... a .....chip that peels up toward his hair line on his hoof. So our ferrier said it couldn't hurt to give flax to Max, supposed to encourage growth.
My other honorable mention is " Flat Creek Farm" my Emily donkey hates to have her feet done and to be needled and take her wormer and to have her halter put on...get the message! She is still my princess!! Well everyone was due to get wormed this week, Cherokee is really good about everything, so is Max, so we needed a new plan for "princess", awhile back Flat Creek said she puts her wormer on graham crackers.....well they had never had graham crackers...and they loved it. We split the wormer into 2 daily doses, so 2 days in a row they ate their new treat with hidden wormer.~~~~~Thank you , I really enjoy both of your blogs!!

A weather update, we're having another snow storm........think Spring
