Tornados and homemade laundry soap

It's Friday afternoon,I had hoped to have pictures of my rose garden by today,but mother nature had other plans for us.We have had rain for a couple of days and today We had 3 tornado warnings in our area.I spent 20 minutes in a closet in the interior of our home waiting for one to pass.My husband had a nephew and his wife killed in one last month so i take them more seriously than I use to.
Hopefully weather will cooperate and I can get back to gardening next week.
I did make homemade laundry soap this week. I got the recipe from Lea's blog"farmhouse blessing". I really like it, it smells great,cleans well,saves money and just feels good to make homemade things for my family and home.
Have a blessed weekend!

Monday Morning

It was 45 degrees this morning when I woke up,but it is climbing and should be in the 70's this afternoon.This is the time of year I enjoy the most its not too cold in the morning,just brisk, and not too hot in the afternoon,just nice.
Today i plan to start working on a rose bed just off my porch. I am not much of a gardener so keep your fingers crossed.The first thing I will be doing is taking a wheel barrow to the back of my property and getting a load of dirt to even up the ground,my husband doesn't think i can do this by myself but i will show him.

It was a very nice weekend we celebrated my youngest grandsons 1st birthday
with a family cookout at Wakulla Springs,its only about 5 miles from my home and one of my favorite places. I hope to have pictures to share soon.
Have a great week and check back to see how my gardening goes !

I am so glad it is here,a time when everything is new again,new beginnings for all of us.

It will be her Easter dress.If you haven't yet, check out Leahs' blog,she has beautiful things.pictures will be coming

Its a beautiful morning

It is 9:oo a.m and about 50 degrees with the sun shining. I just had coffee and reading God's word while setting on my back deck,while looking at the beautiful white blooms on the dogwood trees and my dark pink azaleas blooming,watching the squirrels chase each other and jump from tree to tree and listening to the birds sing,I have a beautiful red bird and blue bird visiting this morning. I feel that all is well with the world and know that God is in control.What a beautiful morning!

My 4 Grandchildren

It is 9:00 friday morning and already 50 degrees and will get to the mid 70's today and 78 tomorrow. YEA !

I am so ready for spring and summer and I know you all in the north are.

I haven't posted lately because I have just been "down in the dumps" and I am sure the weather has a lot to do with it. So for the next few days,we are going to have near perfect weather and I am excited about that.

I painted two flower pots sunny yellow yesterday and started decorating for Easter, all the winter decorations are gone. It's Spring at my house !
