Spring has finally arrived here on Ohio's north coast and what glorious weather we have had recently. The daffodils were magnificent this year. Never before have I had so many blooms. This is about the last of them :(
So much is blooming around the yard . . .
Heavenly lilac . . .
Butterfly made from old horseshoes given to me by dear friend Wink many, MANY years ago.
My sweet trillium . . .
LOVE the bleeding hearts!
My simple weathervane atop the garage.
Today I took grandson Jake to a circus that was at the local fairgrounds. We're not talking Ringling Brothers here. What a cheesy circus it was, but Jake enjoyed it so that's all that matters. I purchased the tickets online since it was half off the adult admission. Can you believe $9 in service fees for two tickets? What a racket! $10 snow cones (in a light up glass) and $8 boxes of popcorn!!! An even bigger racket!
A couple pics that Jake took of the animals in the petting area.
Cool Jake in his shades. He is getting so grown up!
My rug is very near completion. I had hoped to finish today, but I'd better think about sleep instead of hooking!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Thanks for sharing your beautiful blooms with us. Mine are starting to blossom. There may be some more today. It's exciting to see something blooming.
ReplyDeleteJake looks grownup and handsome and his smile show that he finally got his teeth back.
Wow, those prices are just outrageous. I can see that love made you look the other way when you were forking the money to the attendants for this and that.
Your rug looks wonderful. Have a nice week.
Hugs,
JB
Hi Lauren...your flowers are beautiful...the only ones we have at the moment are daffodils...and only one plant...LOL
ReplyDeleteI'd say the trip to the Circus is like what the commercial says 'PRICELESS' - it was expensive yes, but the delight Jake got was all that counted.
Blessings,
Karen
Hi Lauren...your flowers are so pretty! How I miss the lovely smell of fresh lilacs! My Annie would love your horseshoe butterfly...she loves butterflies. I just planted a lot of plants that attract them and we enjoy seeing them right outside our window.
ReplyDeleteI have not hooked in a few weeks and am itching to get at it!
How Jake has grown! What wonderful memories you are making together! In years to come, he might not remember the circus, but he will surely remember who took him!
Have a great week,
Robyn
Lovely blooms! I adore your horseshoe butterfly, a great idea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers,Lauren! Can't wait to see your rug...love the little corner you revealed...
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Love the flowers! Looks like that goat wants to make a quick snack of Jake's watch! lol! Your rug is hooking up nicely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a racket is right!! Jake sure is getting big and all grown up looking. Your Magdalena runner is quite nice.
ReplyDeleteSaundra
Your flowers are so pretty Lauren! Our grass is just starting to green up so no flowers yet. I love that horseshoe butterfly!
ReplyDeleteJake is growing up so fast and a mighty cool dude in those shades I must say!! Love how your rug looks. Can't wait to see a full pic. Hugs, Lori
