New kitchen floor...

I have a new kitchen floor!


It is ceramic tile...

It is a big job to put in a new floor..
First you have to remove everything...

This is the transition between the dining room
and the kitchen floors.

This was a big job but well worth it.
I love how it looks now.

Happy time...

Swingin' with his Daddy...

Hunter is such a delight.  He's a happy boy,  always smiling, curious and learning!
He's truly a gift from Heaven.

mini rose pictures...





I have flowers on my brain...  Can't help it!  I love them so...
A mini rose picture that I painted...
It is 3/4" x 1 1/2"...
perfect for a dollhouse...

Actually,  I painted 24 of them...
These are for a mini swap group that I belong to,
and will be mailed out to the recipients tomorrow...

The roses are just starting to bloom...

A Water lily in my pond...
It jumped out of the basin that they're in
 and is very happy on the bottom of the pond...

I am so happy to have my garden,

I'm so happy to be able to share with you.

Happy Plants...

The Rhododendron flowers are so prolific this year...
Must have been the hard winter they endured...
They are so happy for warmer temperatures,
they are blooming their heads off...

My daughter has lots of these in her yard....
She dug some up and gave them to me two years ago...
They were in a little six pack for a year...
They spent their second year in a flower pot...
I planted them under a tree in my front yard last fall...
They were so happy that they gave me this beautiful flower...

Happy Jack in the Pulpit...

Spring flowers 2 ...

Some more beauties 
that are blooming in my garden...


Pulmonaria--British Sterling

These tulips are spectacular!


A mix of colors... 

My shopping for this morning...


Red Star Cordyline...
These will be used in containers... 


I love the colors of these Coleus...

I can't buy any more plants until I plant these...
(my own restriction)...

So,  I guess I'd better get busy!

This is my most favorite time of the year!

Baby Quilts...

I sewed some more baby quilts this week.
For those who don't know,  these are kits that I put together.
They are donated by Wayside Sewing store to
Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston.
They are given to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit 
for premature babies.
Each baby gets one to take home.
This is a worthwhile project and
really enjoy making them.








The colors are off a little,  but you get the idea!

Spring flowers...

Well,  Spring is finally here.  
But, it has been on the chilly side.
Today is 50 degrees and rainy,  
making it feel very cold and damp.

I do have some flowers blooming though.  
They are a welcome sight, 
after a long and dreary winter.

Here are a few...


My pond filter liner sprung a leak,
so now it is a planter.
I didn't want to let it go to the recycle bin.
I planted daffodils, pansies, parsley,
cilantro and dill in it.


Hyacinths that have reseeded...

Hellebores,  also known as Lenten Rose...

A Pink Hellebore...
I love the upright flowers on this one...

 More Hyacinths...


These are Grape Hyacinths...I love these.  They make beautiful mounds of purple,
and they multiply quickly.

So, I have a wonderful week ahead of me, as I travel to Disney World.  I understand that it is very hot there,  like 95 degrees yesterday.  I hope it's not too much of a shock on this old body of mine!  But to me, I think it'll feel pretty good!
I hope so.
