Sunny Days

We had tons of warm sunny days all last week. My perennials are coming up and tulips are blooming. I went to the nurseries and bought some annuals to put into containers and some impatients to put in front bed. Today is raining again so I spent some time in the nurseries and brought home some more annuals for containers. I found the most beautiful deep purple morning glory and pink parfait petunias for hanging baskets. I will take pictures when the rain stops.

Little grandbaby is doing wonderfully well. He is a super good baby. And changing by leaps and bounds every day. I am going to visit tomorrow and just cant wait to hold him and kiss him.

baby boy

He's here....my brand new love.  Beckston Davis S. arrived last night around 10:30 p.m. He weighed 8 lb. 3 oz. and was 19 3/4 inches tall. He is amazing...content, beautiful and has a dimple in his left cheek. He has blue, blue eyes but I am sure they will change because his daddy and mommy have brown eyes and I have brown and so does his grandpa. It just doesnt matter what color his eyes are. As I am writing this and looking at his picture I am just overwhelmed with love for him. My heart just feels like it is going to burst. Seeing my son with him and changing his first poopie diaper is amazing. He is going to be the best dad ever. His mommy is so calm even though she had a C-section. She is breast feeding and is so relaxed...I guess that is why Beckston is so chilled.
Yes, he is beautiful.

rain, rain

Rain, rain, go away....another dull gray day.  Rain again until Wed. is forecast for our area. Oh, well, Yesteday was a really tough day, not because of the rain, but because it was my first Mother's Day without Mom.. My kids were terrrific. I started the day going to church with my daughter as I do every Sunday but when I got to her place, I just couldnt go to church. I was weepy, and crumbly(?)...so we went shopping instead,. She wasnt feeling that great but she wanted to go anyways...then my son and DIL phoned and suggested we go for gelati. I was supposed to be going to a bridal shower so that is why my kids hadn't made reserv ations at a restaurant. When they found out I had cancelled it was too late to go anywhere but the gelati place was great. We sat and just had a great time for about 3 hours. Love my kids. Turned out my day was pretty good after all.

Happy Mother's Day

No matter how old we are, losing a mother
is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can
know, but her goodness, her caring and her
wisdom live on..... like a legacy of love that
will always be with you.

I miss you Mom.

spring floods

This is an unusual spring out htere. We live close to the Assiniboine River and it is the highest this year that it has been iin 70 years. We took a drive a few days ago and these are just some of the pictures I took. Scary stuff and it hasnt crested yet. They are expecting it to crest by May 11. We will be ok because we are far enough from the river to be dry. My hubby drives a school bus over a bridge and every day the water is rising. Yesterday he said it was just about to the bottom of the bridge. If that happens he will have to be rerouted.
