Bill wanted scones again, he can eat anything and not gain weight...so unfair! So, being the amazing wife I am, I made scones! (Rye blueberry scones). The dough was a little too wet, so they did not hold their shape, (about like me after eating said scones)still good though..have a great day all!
Way too early to be bringing in lilacs as they are barely in bloom, but I did anyway...they smell lovely!
We
took the woodpecker feeder down and the seed feeder down today. This
little downy woodpecker keeps coming back pecking on the window...there
is plenty for all birds to eat now..still he looks sad...UPDATE...We had mercy on him and put the feeder back up..
Years ago, somewhere I lost my yearbooks. I know where they were the last time I saw them about 30 years ago, then they were suddenly gone. However, I actually found our senior (1967) yearbook on Ebay. That's the most important one, right? It is in pristine condition with no writing in it. I'm so happy I found it! What are the odds? So I have been going down memory lane remembering all of you and what a great time it was to be a teenager then.
Just saw our first hummingbird this morning, I put the feeders out a few days ago, so I was ready for him..
We've been out here since 5:30 this morning, started with coffee then took a walk when the sun was just above the horizon. Still here, it's a gorgeous day!
Happy 45th birthday to my youngest, (Preston) Alexander Preston Phillips today! Have a great day! Love you so much! Hope you're doing something fun today!
Love these color changing solar flowers I bought for my family headstone. I had to try them out first though to make sure they worked, now I think I need some here at home!
Even though my sweet mother-in-law is now in the nursing home and for the first time since we were married there is no Easter dinner at her house, I made my annual kid friendly Easter cake anyway! Bill thought the peeps were having a Viking funeral for the one floating on the lake, he seriously said that! He just "ain't right"! Happy Easter everyone!
Had a great time today at the All-Class Reunion Band Variety show. It was just like old times, sitting in our high school bleachers with old friends, watching the show. Many of us (band members) participated in these variety shows when we were in high school....fond memories everywhere. Gene Stiman, our Grade school band director, who is 98 years old, played his trombone through 4 numbers, we all owe him so much! Everyone did a wonderful job!
It's Red Hat ladies day! We played bingo, told a few tales and celebrated the 22nd anniversary of the Red Hat ( Chickadees/Ramblin'Roses) Society in Salem. One of our Red Hat sisters is in the hospital and so Pat Born Hill made this Kentucky Fried Chicken 20 piece Family size gift for her, since Bunny Gump Bunny Gump was craving some chicken (mechanical chicks and candy filled chicks)..! It was a really fun day, as always!
Happy 16th birthday to my grandson, Caleb today! Much love from grandma and grandpa Halterman! Have a great day!
I made these suncatchers yesterday using vintage lamp crystals and glass beads, they are now at Country Creek Treasures, if you are interested in having one for yourself. It's been a beautiful sunny day, but windy. I hope everyone has a great evening!
