Sunday Ramblings ~

 

 

We never did get snow the other day, but less than five miles south they got several inches of that wet, heavy, beautiful spring snow :)  I always love a spring snow because within a day or two it is gone.  Today is a gorgeous day.  I cut grass for the first time.  Don't you just love the smell of a freshly cut lawn?  Getting some more yard clean up done and I have plenty to keep me busy for many days, though I may not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

Friday I hit a couple antique shops with my brother's DSO Lyn.  I was VERY good ~ only bought this sweet little treen container (2nd from right) and a couple gifts that I cannot share (and some silverplate spoons to make necklaces but that doesn't count . . . lol).  It's been a while since I've added to my treen collection, but this was too good a deal to pass up.  The pieces are more of a barn red in person.  You can see more of my collection here.

 

 

Yesterday was the Gathered Treasures show about an hour and a half from home.  Met dear friend Sheila and was good yet again (no fun).  It is a wonderful show, but even though I have a few "primitive" things, that is not my style.  I did come home with two snowbirds dating from the mid 1800's.  Now that I have three, I guess it's an official collection.  Here they are sitting atop a little tiger maple corner cupboard ~ sweet but not old ~ in the guest/computer room.  (A snowbird was mounted on the roof to keep the snow from falling on people below. The wings held back the snow to allow it to melt.)

 

 

A couple weeks ago when we had a few days of bitter cold, I thought all my daffodil bulbs would freeze.  Some did but many did not which makes me a happy camper.

 

Hyacinth is another favorite of mine :)

 

Primrose . . .

I don't remember what the sweet little flowers are.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
