Let's hear it for sunshine!

It's a beautiful, sunshine-y day outside! It is supposed to get up into the 80's... I am absolutely loving the spring!!!
The flowers are blooming...my perennials are growing like...weeds!!!

Primrose


Bleeding Heart




I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but I love the checkerboard pattern!!!




Grandma's favorite 'flowers' - Keara,



and my other favorite 'flower' Naomi
(they are the most beautiful flowers in my 'garden')



The baby robins in the nest in our carport have feathers, and their eyes are open. It won't be too long before they are ready to fly away. It wasn't that long ago that they looked like this:


Pretty Blue Robin's Eggs


We still haven't moved yet...it is going way too slowly for us. It is very tiring having to take care of two places. We finally were able to finish painting the master bedroom and master bathroom at the 'new' house. We have a few spots that need to be touched up. Then only two more rooms to paint. It sure turned out to be a lot more work than I thought it would be.

We're trying to figure out where we want our perennials over there too. Yes, I plan on taking a lot of mine with us. If I have holes left in the "old" yard, I will fill them in with annuals, so it looks nice.

I plan on packing some today, but mostly I want to get out in that sunshine and soak some of it up.
Maybe it is a good day for me to get my fishing license?

Link to a great blog post...

I don't have anything original to say today...we have been busy working on the house, and I am so tired!
I belong to a group of bloggers called SITS - The Secret Is In The Sauce...they are a great bunch of bloggers and human beings.
They feature a blog of the day...and the idea is to visit the blog, and leave comments...positive ones. I think its a wonderful idea, just to know that someone out there in cyber space knows you are alive and a real person, you know?

I have to share a post from today's featured blogger. It made me cry...in a good way. How many of us struggle with self-image, and self-worth? Do we matter? Do we 'look' okay?

If you do (and I know I struggle with this) - then this post is for you: "Baby Fat"
It is a really great reminder on perspective, and not only how we see ourselves, but how we should see ourselves. And how God sees each one of us.

"can't we all just dance together?"....wouldn't that would be sweet???... enjoy! (you will need to 'pause' the little pink I-POD like thingy to the right of the blog... and then press the play button on the video in this post)
