Spring is here for sure......

Yes, spring is here.  We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend; which we did spend in John Day.  The prior weekend we were there also.  Went to the Sumpter Flea Market and found some neat finds.  Enjoy....

Aaahhh... sweet flowers and color...

Mother's Day Sunday.....

This is a late post but......Mother's Day Sunday was here and what a nice day we all had.  Saturday was not so nice in fact, quite iffy.  It was everything that I could do to get my outside stuff done in between rain and not so nice weather.  Sunday was perfect though...everyone was outside.

This is a lavender plant from Denny and the pot is from Devin

This turned out super.

Spring is here......

OK-we had some iffy weather but it is trying so very hard to be nice.  Made a few too many trips to Lowe's and their greenhouse but everything that I bought was perennials .  Ace had their gorgeous geranium baskets out and yes, I purchased a few (five to be exact) of those also.  I do bring them in the garage at night.  Come on-it's Spring.....

Enjoy...............

Springs a comin'

This past week has been gorgeous and spring is here.  The water is on and we had a forty foot split in our mainline.  Dennis had to dig it up and replace.  For some reason it did not drain and we both are not sure what happened...it just did.  Pasture got fertilized and the irrigation pipe is down and running.  So nice to have that going.  There is something about hearing the sound of the irrigation birds going.  There were alot of my perennials in pots that did not survive the winter; which was a bummer.  And some that did; underneath all of what looks dead, I found new green growth.  New bulbs came up and even some old ones that I did not know were still there.  Denny has one more line in my yard to dig up that did not get fixed last year.  Once that happens, he can turn the sprinkler system on to my yard.  We got quite a bit done.  Working Monday thru Thursday this week.  Friday off!

My tall phlox coming up....

Water on and green pasture....

I could not help myself...bought some tunies

We are home.....

Our trip to Hawaii was fantastic but it is always good to be home.  Our trip back left alot to be desired starting out with an over two hour delay in Honolulu due to some navigational thing with the plane.  This delay caused us to miss our connecting flight in San Francisco back to Redmond.  We ended up spending the night at the airport on the floor last night instead of arriving in Redmond last night late.  Oh joy.  Our luggage was delivered about 8:00 this eve.  We finally did make it home by early afternoon.  Considering  how little we do fly, this was a first time this has happened. 

We are home and glad to be back.  Sure miss those 80 degree days and warm water already.
