It is raining and cold, so what happened to spring? I think it took a detour! It is supposed to rain all week I think. You know, I really don't mind the rain but it is windy and cold and I am ready to work in the yard. I have bought a few flower plants that need to get planted, and am anxious to get the planting done. I know the rain is good for all the flowers and trees but I don't think they like the cold and wind so much.
Well, Mark and the family are in CA for a disneyland vacation so Abby is spending the week with us. She is having fun I think, except the weather isn't making it possible to go to the park or spend time outside. We are going to have to think of someplace else to go.
I don't have my chair finished yet. I needed to go to one more class but wasn't able to. I worked on it at home and have the sides almost finished, then the welting around the wood on the arms and the dust cover and then I am done except for the cushion. So, I still need to make arrangements to go to a class and work on how to do the cushion. Maybe next week I can finalize it. Then I will post a picture. (Now to keep the cats away from it!)
I'll be back...

I think Spring may be here!
Happy Spring! Yes, I think spring may actually be here, the sun has been shining a lot and it has been warm. A few april showers still, but that's okay, it will help the grass and flowers grow.
I did go to Mark's and help the kids color eggs for easter. It went well and I think they had fun. Then on Easter sunday we went to church and then gave the kids their easter baskets. In the afternoon we went to the mountains to find snow. We had to go pretty far but we did find it and the kids got to play and slide and hunt for eggs in the snow.
I went to Jenn's and was gone for 8 days. Nancy went with me and we had four days of total quiet and just scrapbooked and read and relaxed. And Badger was a good boy. I don't think he minded the situation as long as he knew he would get fed. Time went quickly however and I didn't get as much done as I would have liked (I think I was enjoying relaxing). But, back at home now and back to the things I need to get done.
I hope to have my chair done this week so I can post you a finished picture.
We put out grass seed and fertilizer in the back yard to make one more attempt to get some more grass to grow. Sure hope it works this time. And hopefully this week we can get some of the plants and the bark dust, and get the pond running again.
Enjoy the sun!

April Showers.....
It is April , that means April showers and yes we are having plenty of rain showers. I hope that means we will have beautiful flowers in May. I am ready to see flowers and sunshine.
We went to go see the tulip fields but decided to wait for midweek so it would be cheaper and less crowded. I hope the tulips will still be pretty by the time we go, with all the rain and wind I am sure they have been battered, but I still see them around town looking beautiful so I will be hopeful.
Well, last tuesday was supposed to be my final night for the upholstery class but I could not get it finished so I will be going at least one more week. I would have just finished it at home but I am down to the finishing parts that I need to learn how to do. It is exciting though, both learning these steps and that I almost have a finished project. I decided that this chair is going to be in the living room for now so I can show it off (and it will look good in the corner by the fireplace). Anyway I won't be able to do my last class until after I get back from Jenn's so it will be a couple of weeks. Then I will post you a picture of the final results!
Speaking of Jenn's... Nancy and I will be leaving on tuesday and I am getting kind of excited. I am looking forward to seeing my "baby boy" who is getting so big that I am anxious to see him and spend time with him. (Oh, hurry up and move back so I can see you anytime.) And of course I want to spend time with Jenn (and Brett too). And I am looking forward to having a few days to just relax and scrapbook and watch movies. (Nancy is excited too.) I better get busy packing!!
I think we are going to color eggs tonight with the grandkids and probably have dinner.
Talk to you soon.
