1968 Plymouth ?

On the way to my hair appointment I spotted this rusty old car among the wild phlox.  I thought they made a pretty background for the old car.  I'm thinking it is a 1968 Plymouth.  Does anyone know for sure?


I am joining Roan for Rubbish Tuesday for the first time.

Thanks for all your kind comments on my last post.
Have a good week and I'll see you next time

Good Fences


I am joining TexWisGirl at The Run *A* Round Ranch for Good Fences.



I haven't posted anything for 3 weeks and I haven't been around commenting.  Life has just been busy.
I was back at Mayo Clinic.  Nothing has been done yet about the thyroid cancer.  We are going to watch it for 3 months and see if it grows.  Then make a decision as to how to proceed with treatment.  I am feeling fine.

Not sure how much I'll be posting this summer.  Lots going on with a trip to the Black Hills, my daughter's wedding, gardening, replenishing my booth, etc. etc.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you next time

This little robin decided it was time for a bath in the freshly filled bird bath.


Splashing is so much fun

Happy Spring

The grass is green, the Gold Finch are getting their summer colors, and the skies are dramatic.

There are no flowers blooming yet.  The trees are just starting to get buds, but spring is here.  Now if the weather would just warm up.  Life has been busy.  I had my appointment at Mayo Clinic and saw a wonderful doctor.  He spent over 2 hours with me and my girls.  My thyroid cancer is back and I will be going back to Mayo for more tests and treatment.  I had a free afternoon while there so my girls and I went to Lanesboro, a quaint little town in the river valley. We had a fun time!  But that's for another day.

Easter Blessings





THE EASTER FEELING...
The Easter feeling does not end.
It signals a new beginning,
Of nature, spring, and brand new life,
And friendship, peace, and giving.
The spirit of Easter is all about
Hope, love, and joyful living.

Easter Blessings
&
Happy Spring

Good Fences

When I was taking pictures of that Pepto Bismol barn  I also got a couple of photos of their fence.



Behind the fence were these beauties.  They must love horses too.

Really? A Pink Barn

Yes, really. A bright pink barn! On my way home from my daughter's last Sunday I decided to take a different route than I usually do.  What to my surprise when I saw this pink barn.


Not only was the barn pink but most of the other buildings too.  Even the dog house.



All of the buildings were either painted this bright pink or had some part of them painted pink.  The house was gray but had pink shutters.



Amy at Rose Street Reflections  posted a barn with a pink tint today.  Barns are usually red or white, but sometimes yellow or green. But I've never seen a pink one before

My Booth

Here is it the middle of April and I have not published one post this month.  I have been kind of overwhelmed with life lately.

Last week my daughter came down and helped me redo my booth at the lighting store.  Here is a couple of photos what it looked like when we finished.





There was going to be a Woman's Expo in town over the weekend so I know there would be a lot of ladies around.  I went back today to see if anything sold and it looks so bare.  The table and chairs sold along with some other things.  I didn't have my camera with me so I can't show you what it looks like now.  I need to get it restocked.

I went to my daughter's at Waconia over the weekend to see my granddaughter in another Show Choir.  Besides being in the main choir she and 3 girl friends sang New Girl in Town from Hairspray.  It was so cute.  So fun to spend time with the grandkids.

Sorry I haven't been around much.  I have been visiting some but maybe not commenting.  Thanks for all your kind comments on my last post.

Have a great week and I'll see you next time.

p.s.  All the photos in my header were taken last spring.  We had a few spring like days last week.  This week it it cold again.  I don't think it even got above freezing today. :0(
