The Robins are BACK!

Well, apparently they've been back, but I had a yard full of them today, and it's the first time I've seen them!
Your gonna have to trust me on this!
I was putting a new screen in one of the doors on a picnic table out back, when my subconcious heard a lot of rustling etc.!
Robins everywhere!
By the time I came in to get my camera, the cats were out and the robins had flown the coop (so to speak)!
And the screen I put the new stuff in?! Too tight dammit, it's warped in it's little slot! I'm going to get some plastic screen, this was metal and was not very forgiving!
I did take some pictures of them in the trees, but honestly, they're too far away!

I finished my mom's Mother's Day card.




Here we go again with the perfectly centered print!
Can't get it to move over!

I took a picture of the moon last week when it was full.


 

Cool huh!

We had a fire at the OFH last Friday!
1:30 pm. Full staff, and the REAL DEAL!
We did what we were supposed to. The problem was the people that wanted to help!
Learned a few things, and there's a few things that should be done different!
We'll see what the talk is tomorrow when I go back.

I did go Saturday and pick up some of my peeps to take the to the quilt show.
Nobody said anything though!
I won a door prize. I'll have to get a picture for you.
I almost cried when they told me that Pat L. had started them, and the quilters had finished them.
I used to work with her way back when, and she died last year of a brain aneurism.
The quilt show was in honor (memory) of her!

Been busy cleaning the yard, etc.
Burnt brush all weekend. We've been cleaning out all the dead willows, and planting Spruce Trees. Well, alrighty then, we're replanting them! They're started in the forest, but are too close together.

AND.....the posts are in for the horseshoes! That's another, "Ya know yur a redneck when...!"
I'll be making the boxes this weekend, and hauling the sand! Just have to get Ray to haul home 2 sheets of treated plywood to put over top.
Oh come on....you know they'll just be HUGE litter boxes if I don't cover them!
We each have a set of horseshoes....I think they're the same weights, but I'll be checking them out!

Had an all right day at my other job today. Only there 8 hours, but D should be home soon and I"ll be there forever!
Not next week though! Got a meeting at 4:30 pm!
Talk to you later!

Ta ta for now!

OH CANADA........Oops!

So my dear family and friends.
I've got a new flag.
Finally you say.
The other one had almost rotted off the pole.
But, as I told my brother in law, I wasn't taking it down until I had a new one, cause how could I see if  it was windy or not!?

So you've all heard the shop local shpeel!
I was shopping this morning with my peeps, and someone had told me that they weren't paying $60 for a flag. (Are we patriotic or what!?)
And he was right! They were $40.00, $50.00 & $60.00!
Gawd!
Then we went to the local Drug Store; you know; the one that charges a fortune for everything.
Hold on to your hats! I found one for $10.99!

So I got all the stuff together.
Duct tape, scissors, those plastic little rachet tie thingys.
Put the flag up and stood back to admire my handiwork!






















Crap!
Started all over again!




There! Got it!

Still have a headache....don't know what's going on!

I even had a good day with my peeps!
We went to the library for tea and cookies.
There was an open house next door for Sunset Gourmet (?). Spices and stuff like Epicure.
Then we went to Granny's Fashions! It's a second hand place.
Ended with Ice Cream up at the Snack Shack!

Now I'm getting the AVON done, and will go and get creative in the craft room!

Ta ta for now!
