Wow, it was so beautiful today! Last Saturday it was cold, rainy and even snowed a little, but today is amazing. I spent 60$ at Home Depot for flowers and herbs today. David gave me two big, big flower pots for Valentine's day. They've been sitting on the front porch waiting patiently for warm weather and fresh flowers.
I found two gorgeous canna lilies; they are maroon on the inside, and slowly turn golden up the flower. I added lemon colored petunias, dark red petunias, blue allysum and some white trailing plants in both big pots. There is a smaller big pot too, and I put a basil plant in the middle, some onion chives flowing over one side, a lemon petunia and several blue allysum. I'll have to take some pics. They look really pretty!
David was super busy, he rototilled the rest of the garden, did some weed-eating in the front, ran the lawn mower, helped me hang up a couple of the topsy-turvy hangers- one with strawberries, the other with a tomato plant. Then he moved some of his antique farm equipment in front of the house for decoration, hung a cool name plate with our address on the front too, plus some metal butterfly decorations. It's looking pretty spiffy out front!
I planted some tomatoes in the garden, but pooped out before I got the peppers in the ground. Hopefully I can do them on Monday, along with some lettuce, beans etc. All in all, it was a great Saturday. Sure hope I have the energy to make it to church tomorrow...

Springtime birthday
Whew! Yesterday I celebrated my 56th birthday. I was born on Easter Sunday, but I haven't had a birthday on Easter for many years. It used to happen about every 4 years, but no more. I don't know when they will meet again.
Nic and Gina planned a marvelous BBQ, then moved it up to Garland's Cabins in Oak Creek canyon. My niece Megann and her husband now manage the whole place, and invited us to have the party at their house. And what a house! They recently moved into the home of the owners, and hope to live there for many years. It was really cold- it even snowed on Saturday, which froze much of the blooming fruit trees in Oak creek, so probably not many will have fruit this year. It even snowed a little at our house yesterday evening, I was so shocked.
