Goooood Day Sunshine!

My girl hound was successful this morning getting me to understand that her whining meant, "Please open the door and leave it open, so I can soak up the warm rays!"  Pure doggie bliss...and then we went for a  "w-a-l-k" around the park.  Life just doesn't get any better.  ~Sparky

Wonder: Door Step Surprise...

I discovered this on my front porch steps this morning.  I've never seen anything like it before and don't know who delivered it.  I touched it and gasped, as it is icy cold---solid ice with fresh flowers encapsulated in it!

If anyone has clues as to its origin---let me know!  :o)

Springing Up!

Have a wonderful Easter Weekend!

Move In Day!

Today I begin moving furniture items into the new/old room.  Draperies will be hung and next week the crystal chandelier will be installed.  It's been a long-time-coming project to bring to completion and now that it's done---I can hardly believe it!
