What's New This Week

This past weekend was beautiful with all the warm weather and flowers blooming. The boys got to go practice calf riding, and steer wrestling. John rode a steer on Saturday, and then rode twice on Sunday. He is loving it. I'll have to get pictures, and maybe a video and try to figure out how to upload a video so that everyone can see him ride steers. Boy do they grow up fast. It was just yesterday that he was a baby and now he is already 9 years and pushing 95 pounds. Where does the time go?

I've got the store all spring cleaned, lots of new items in the store, flowers and shrubs planted, and now I have to figure out what I want to work on next. Any ideas???? More dolls?? paint some signs? I am undecided, but I am leaning toward doing some painting. I know, I need to get pictures taken of new items, the flowers and a new picture of the front of the store. Guess that is what I should work on this week.

What's New This Week

Where to start? So much has been going on the last couple of weeks. There are a lot of new items in the store, and I still haven't gotten pictures taken. That is my chore for today. Yesterday I dug up weeds, turned dirt, and planted shrubs on the west side of the building. I only got half of the area done so far, but it is looking good. I am sooooo excited. So take a look and let me know what you think of my choice of colors.

I have all of my spring flowers planted, and the bulbs that Mark and John gave me for Mother's Day. They are sitting right next to the front door of the store and look sooooo pretty. I love this time of year.

Oh I know what else, I took pictures of our babies last night. I'll get them uploaded and posted today. They are so cute to watch play and run around. One of them even thinks that his mom is a jungle jim. He jumps up and down on her back when she is laying down, and she just lays there. What a great mom.

Ok I have to get back to picture taking. I have sooo much new stuff in the store to show all of you. Have a great weekend, and I hope you enjoy the pictures of our babies. I do love to watch them play.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I would like to wish each and everyone of you a very Happy Mother's Day. I hope the weather is beautiful for all of you and you get to enjoy the warm weather and most of all your families.

Make sure all of you ladies take some time for yourself. Enjoy a soothing bubble bath, plant new flowers in your garden, enjoy a cup of coffee outside listening to the birds sing. Whatever you do enjoy your day. You've earned it.

Where does the time go????

Where does the time go?? Can you belive it is already May, and John is out of school within 3 weeks time. Three weeks??? Why can't they go to school year round?

The Eagle and Hawk babies are growing like weeds. I just love watching them. The one camera at Sooner Lake in OK has been off-line for a few days. Don't know what happened there, but I am guessing it has something to do with the storms they have been having.

The baby hawks in Portland are getting big and so cute to watch, as all of the other babies I have been watching. After all of the bird watching, I got myself a present yesterday while I was out shopping. I got a HUGE eagle in flight print. I am so excited I can hardly wait to hang it in the house.

What's New This Week

Rain, Rain, and more Rain here in Colorado. It finally stopped on Saturday night. We had water every where, and even a little snow. It is supposed to be close to 80 degrees this week. I am loving it. This is one of the best times of year in Colorado. I just love Spring.

What have I been working on since our last update? Let me think, I have gotten a few more stitcheries done, and a couple pugs are in there too, along with a few angels, and spring flowers. Oh, did I mention that we have several new birdhouses, a few bird feeders, and other fabulous garden décor.

I have got so many ideas floating through my head, but I am undecided as to which way to go so far. I am excited about the warm weather, so I am leaning more towards making more spring stuff with lots of colors. I am also getting the itch to do more painting.

Art Night - Huge Success

Art Night Out was another HUGE success. We had great weather last night, lots of music, food and of course shopping. I finally made it home last night at 11:30. I keep getting asked if we're going to this type of thing often. YES, we are. We as a business community are glad that the community is enjoying the evenings out.

Our next Art Night out is June 19th from 6 pm - 10 pm. I will post more info as it becomes available, but make sure that you put June 19th on your calendar.

Have a Great Easter.

As I said previously Kay and Jay (the red tail hawks) in Tulsa, Ok will not be hatching eggs this year. During a snow storm, Kay got too cold and couldn't keep the eggs warm. I am really disappointed. They are such pretty birds.

Hope you enjoy.
