Happy Monday~

 Happy Monday! I hope the weekend was a good one for you. 💕 I have been doing things around the house. You know, the usual...laundry and cleaning.  Saturday, I did a small amount of yard work. I trimmed the maple tree that is in my rock garden, pulled weeds. Felt good to get that accomplished.

Sunday was church. So good to be with our church family worshipping the Lord.  

Have a lovely day, I will leave you with following.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10

As we step into the day, let's remember Isaiah 41:10. God tells us that we needn't be afraid or overwhelmed, for He is always with us. He is our strength in times of weakness and our helper in times of need, and He upholds us with His righteous hand. This reassuring promise is a reminder of God's unfailing presence and support, fueling us with courage and hope as we face our daily challenges Quote of the Day "When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure." — Peter Marshall                credit~ Our Daily Verse

Spring~Cottage~30th Anniversary~Mother's Day~Gardening

 Here are a few pics I took while we were at our cottage! 

The weather was beautiful, temps in the 60's and 70's. 

Tucker and Charlie

Dan and I celebrated our 30th anniversary while we were up there. Our anniversary was on Sunday, May 15.  Same day as Mother's Day! Since it was Mother's Day weekend, we went out for a nice dinner Friday evening at Antler's Fireside Grill . SO good! 

Fettuccini Alfredo
House made parmesan alfredo sauce with fettuccini noodles

 and shaved asparagus. With scallops.

Salmon Oscar
Grilled salmon, lump crab, bearnaise sauce, rice pilaf, and green beans.

Cherry Cobbler
Michigan sweet cherries infused with bourbon, topped with a sweet crust, 

and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Mother's Day I talked to all of my kids and a few of the grandkids. 

It was a nice, relaxing day. 

Of course, I was especially missing my mom on Mother's Day. 

This is the third Mother's Day without her. 

I am back home for a few days. 

 Babysitting for some of the grandkids a couple days this week. 

I plan on working in my rock garden on Saturday, sprucing it up a bit! 

Be blessed!

around the yard

 

It has taken a while, but we finally have the majority of the yard finished. The weather played a big part in the delay of getting the sod laid. But thankfully, it has been finished for a few weeks now!  

Tucker and Bentley love exploring the yard, now that is fully fenced. SO thankful!!

Now I am working on my rock garden, planting perennials and adding garden decor. 

SO fun. I will share pics at a later date. 

Have a lovely week.

gorgeous day~spring will be here soon~

Watching and waiting for Spring, that's what I am doing and today is a perfect preview! We are having lovely weather, sunny and the temperature is 70 degrees. Gorgeous!

 Already we are seeing robins.

Our lilac trees are starting to show green and many of the spring flowers are coming up. Each season brings it's own beauty and Spring is certainly a beautiful time of renewal.

I can't wait to get outside and start gardening projects.

I love fresh flowers and I need to have them in the house more often. The last time I had them was for Valentine's Day, the beautiful bouquet of roses, lilies and carnations that Dan gave me. 

Of course they don't last forever, but  I tried to salvage them as long as possible. Below you see how I had three nice flowers left, so I cut them down and put them in my mini milk bottle crate. So cute!

Of course this pic was taken a couple weeks ago, the flowers are long gone now.

Have a happy week.
