Fresh Scent......

Don't you just love driving by "Fresh" plowed ground.......aah...the aroma....I love smelling dirt after it has been tilled!

Driving to work I see fields that have been plowed and I get excited thinking about how in a few weeks I will see small growth of whatever the farmer has planted. I can not imagine how long this took when farmers only had mules & ox instead of the tractors we have today.

Our Tulip Poplar trees have been in bloom......the aroma of these blooms are so sweetly scented. I try to get out and enjoy this wonderful fragrance as much as possible, they only last a couple of weeks.

Then there is the Honeysuckle...what a sweet fragrance. The other day while our youngest grandson (4yrs) & I went for a walk I showed him how to get the juice from the Honeysuckle...he thought this was pretty cool!

What kind of Fresh Scents have you enjoyed lately around your part of God's Country?

LOST IN TIME!

Internet Photo

Gotta put the brakes on .....my life is flashing by before my eyes.......I wish it would just slow down some.
I can not believe it has been 12 days since my last post....where did the time go?

We had a full house last weekend and our 2 grandsons came up this afternoon to spend this weekend with us...love it every time they come! We are planning to go to yard sales in the morning.....hope it does not rain them out. We will work in the yard for a while and cook hot dogs and hamburgers over the fire-pit Saturday night.
I am so thankful we are in good health and can have fun with the boys. They keep us very busy and I am worn out when they go home but its a good tired.

We have been cleaning up around our property......much needed.....and of course I get poison ivy...I tried to doctor it myself for a week and I kept breaking out with new places so I went to my dermatologist Wednesday after work and he gave me a steroid shot and some steroid spray...much better already....my face & neck is real red and hot but that is part of the steroid shot....I am just glad the itchy stuff is finally drying up.

This stuff is my outdoor enemy.....I usually just break out with a few places but not this time....it is the worst I have ever had....lesson learned...I will not wait a week and a half before I get it treated next time.

We were just talking the other day at work how we could not wait until March rolled in and now it is almost May......where did the last 2 months go? Looking back I ask myself what have I accomplished over the last 2 months....NOT a whole lot!

I still have house projects that are not complete and my list keeps growing. I have been working on photo projects which take a lot of my time, and like most of you I work full time at a job away from home, then I come home cook dinner...we do not go out to eat.....then the normal daily stuff like laundry, cleaning and try to squeeze in some blogging and reading.

Did I just answer my own question.....I guess I just figured out where my time as disappeared to.....ha ha!

I think our lives pass by faster and faster the older we get....but I am so thankful for my life and glad I am able to do the things I do and have the people I have in my life.

Hope all of you have a wonderful and productive weekend.......

God Bless

Time Well Spent........

with the boys this weekend....at their house this time.

I surprised our grandsons this weekend when I showed up at their house....they had no idea I was coming. Needless to say they were 2 happy boys when they saw me drive up.

Lots of hugs and kisses and more hugs and kisses until I had to leave to come back home. It was a beautiful weekend weather wise so we got to play outside a lot and take lots of pictures.
