~May Day~ 






Lil Miss and I made a May Basket with lilacs and tulips for the neighbor.  Explaining that you hang the paper basket on the neighbor's door knob, knock and run...then hide behind their tree.  She giggled the whole time she was running to hide.  She didn't get caught.

As we waited for her Mom to return from work, we heard our doorbell ring, ring, ring.  There on the handle of the storm door were two pretty paper May Baskets with lilacs and a little gift.  Daughter treated us to this pleasant surprise.  It was a treat.  THANK YOU, Dear.

Still, the lilacs are in bloom.  LOVE these blossoms.  The Redbud trees' blossoms are fading as their green leaves sprout forth.  The past few weeks have been a time to enjoy the splashes of purplish pink amongst the Spring green from Prairie trees along the Interstate and throughout town.  Reminds me of a Kinkade painting.  As the Irises bloom, I need to  make a trip to the University's Gardens to view the Irises.  

Ours are budding out.  Hopefully more will bloom as the indication we will have fewer than before.  Hubby wants to put more around two trees on the side yard.  When we thin out the fence flowerbed, some will be located around the trees and into a backyard flowerbed.  Some in the front yard flowerbed. 

The Gardeners were out in full force this week-end as the stores that sell plants were busy with shoppers.  SAM's was a Zoo.  Traffic was a bear. 

The week-end arrived.  Relieved to rest.  I have seriously been on the go since February.  Sleeping in was needed.  Coffee Chat with Hubby needed.  Hormones were noticed.  Very bad reaction to a dip on the hormones.  Irritation galore.  Turning 59 in July and Mother Nature won't let me go.  The change of life is a slow poke and a half.  

We went to Saint Louis last weekend and visited with a Son and his little boy.  Very good to see them.  Very good.  The trip back home was a long one with the tornadic weather and winds.  Arrived safely home and was ready to sleep in my own bed.

This week-end my oldest son ran in the Topeka TOUGH MUDDER.  

Coffee at Starbucks around 4pm to visit before he returns to Oklahoma.  

His oldest child was with him, so I was able to see my GRAND DAUGHTER.  

Great to see them.  She reminded me that when she turns 13 that I said I'd take her shopping.  I told her that I would like to get her a nice dress, a casual dress and maybe some jewelry.  She growing up and almost a teenager.  Gulp.  

Wasn't so long ago she was born.  My oldest son is getting close to being 40.  

Wonder what he thinks about that?

Being a Mom….wish I had TEN children,

They gave me a hanging basket of flowers for Mother's Day!  Delighted.  Appreciative!  That Flower Basket is hanging on my porch in a metal hanger I bought last year at Aldis.  So glad she has flowers on her to make the porch a more welcoming place.

We missed the KANSAS SAMPLER in Wamego this year.  I hope we will be able to attend next year.  Better mark this on the calendar now.  
The outside temp this morning was 51 with blue skies.  Squirrels are busy in the trees as the birds chirp.  Pleasant day sippin my morning 

coffee and deciding what to do today.  Laundry's in and dishes done.  I thinned through some paper receipts already this morning and tweaked some items in our disappearing warehouse, the Dining room.

I had better go finish the receipts and call it done.  
May you have a blessed day
Jibber Jabber Out,
