an evening at the park.

our weather has been beautiful the last week or so. Wednesday afternoon we ventured out to the park. took some bbq for a picnic, bread for the ducks, and the dog for a walk. it was perfect park weather. i am ready to go fishing and camping! Jay found a buddy along the trail; a red bird. perhaps a parakeet? his owner was an older man who was super friendly and nice and probably from new york; i loved his accent. Thursday we done some spring cleaning in the house, got our yard ready to mow and the flower beds ready to mulch. i finally got the chance to hang up all our new decor for our family room and we have finally finished our kitchen/dining room; so i will finally have pics for that. we're slowly making our way to the back of the house where 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths eagerly wait for our attention. im currently ISO a paint fairy.

have a beautiful,

sunny day.

 my blooming beauty.

dusty wanting to eat chase the ducks.

the red bird from new york.

i think jay was skeered.

someone made a buddy, afterall.

hello, spring.

 

the first day of spring was yesterday.

hallelujah!

we had such a long, cold, blah winter. the worst winter in years, i think.

and never enough snow to play in only enough to make for horrible travel.

so, what a joy the sunshine has been for the soul!

things have been going wonderful and we have been so busy. 

we are anxiously still waiting to hear from the state to get new 

foster child placements. we took a class a week ago for our recertification. 

i think we have only one class left and other than updated paperwork, it 

should be a quick turnaround.

work, church, and family are all good on our end. i've finally found a balance

to it all. i'm looking forward to my second Pampered Chef show

this coming friday. my first one was yesterday and it

was perfect. 

now, the weekend is winding down and the the first storm of the season

has just arrived; o beautiful rain.

have a happy week.
