green life is here soon

unfurling,

fresh

bright

green

leaf

a new leaf 

for a new spring year!

 

advancements enhancements

right now

the best thing ever is

this yellow petunia - glorious yellow!

...hubby edged my flower beds with

landscape ties and I love the look of bordering

flower beds with lumber

The 'man-about -the -house' is building a new front

step  and I have no idea

how it is going to look - (he has a plan, he has a plan!)

Can't wait to see the result, of course I help him along when he needs it and provide

lunches, coffee and water to sustain him.  

perennials at my place

anxious for some blooms

mostly orange day lilies, 1 moss flox, 1 iris, 1 bachelor button, 1 lady's mantle

all new plants started last year and this spring

can't smell them quite yet but just noticed these

this morning, there are several dogwood lilac bushes

around our yard that are not in bloom yet

I have never had a Peony until now and hoping I can get
some flowers this year (please)

spring pick-me-ups

There is much to create, make this acreage yard into something home-y and 

the septic tank is an eyesore and the location is right by our deck.

  Planter was created by none other than my-man-about-the-house!

I will plant some colorful flowers and green spiky annuals in it this weekend.

If rain is minimal this year then I better take pictures of our pond
with birds using it.  I don't know how long it will stay full!





Acreages are a tremendous amount of work and this property is new and
hubby and I are getting more senior in years.  Rome was not built in one season that's
for sure!

melting finally - the pond

I'm just as relieved and

excited for spring to be here as anyone,so the melt is on.

This is the 3 year old colt who just stood here

for about 20 minutes and I yakked and chatted with

him, he is usually chasing the mares' but at this time I had

his full listening attention!

I hope this burnt-orange nose stays as it is a unique

marking

simple video of our pond today

swooping floop

Pelican in pond this morning....

very cool,

of course I go out to take

photo

and it swoops away!

usually other pelicans follow,

    a loner this morning it was.

I think I need to swoop away for a

reprieve!

It rained yesterday and

that was awesome!

My watering can workouts

can stop for now.

  Feels like I

need to land somewhere different for a

little while?

emotions of spring

I am getting overwhelmed with all

the oncoming spring distractions,

like lazy about planning supper,

deciding where I should go walking.

I am cleaning out clothes I haven't worn

all year and donating.

 I am energetically manifesting more money for

fun 2017 summer and fall activities.  

I 've booked a womans' weekend retreat

in the scary "Trumpland" at Salt Lake City Utah for fall.

(very excited about that)

My previous interest in gemstones is calling me back.

People ask what are gemstones, minerals and crystals?

They are rocks!  Collected and some mined from countries

all over the world.  You may own a bracelet and earrings

or pendants that are gemstones.  Most are polished and some

are rough cut.  

This is a red-brown jasper precious gemstone

I wire wrapped it in craft wire and made

a pendant necklace.  Yay me!

This blog has been going for 9 years and I now changed the template and color
 because it was time for

something simpler and more eye catching to look at.  I am having some frustration with changing the header picture.  I like that picture but it is not my photo.  That's okay for now.  

I have had 2 skin tags removed and my physiotherapy for my right shoulder is almost done.  

I am now dancing my way to Latin Rhythm music with Kathy Smith.  She is 65 years old now.  It is fast but fun and I don't have to lift weights or hold a plank position or do sit ups.  Just move my feet to the music.

I just found another distraction; my husband finished my art easel.  I can stand and paint or draw

and it's portable!

The community choir and me as an Alto 1 singer has been challenging

but good for me.  A concert this Sunday and then the final May 7.

I have to practice at home because I am not that strong of a singer.

My piano training helps immensely.

Also horses running around and training is getting revved up as the riding area is

dry now.

Blessed spring emotions and distractions can make me crazy but a it's a good crazy!

spring vibes

Spring is showing itself

with sunny blue skies.

We have a new colt at our

acreage.

Bruschetta is the mare on

the right (now named Grace), so muddy in this picture;

she needs her hooves clipped

and picture taken

as she is going up for sale

on some horse sale websites

here is a nicer pic of Grace (previously named Bruschetta)

she is a beautiful horse with a

good nature.

This colt is an interesting colour

a burnt orange colored nose

with gold hues showing through

his dark brown fur.

his name is Shutler (sp) (I do not know what it means) I'm going to call him
"new brown' horse!

blue skies
new horses
it's changing the energy around here
I like that!
