Easter and other miscellaneous thoughts.


I hope everyone had a happy Easter! We had a very full day. Baskets and an egg hunt at home in the morning with homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Yum! Then off to my sister's for lunch and another egg hunt! Then for dinner, we went to Mike's parents and yep, another egg hunt! Above you see Sami and Mike looking for eggs. Mike's family goes all out with something like 120 eggs with numbers inside them. Each number corresponds with a prize. Uber cool and very fun!

Today was the last day of spring break and the last day of my vacation :( We took and drive and happened upon a mating ritual between two Sandhill Cranes:

What an honor and a blessing to be a witness to this. Cranes are such beautiful, majestic birds and I am so happy to see them in the wild!I've started questioning my career path again. (ugh).

My heart and soul are screaming for me to make a different choice. However, my brain and checkbook say differently. A constant struggle.

I've started running again. Still no fun :) It's either run or quit the cobbler and that ain't happenin!

We've started some seeds for our garden. I'm going big this year. I figure I know plenty of people to give the excess to. I also plan to preserve as much as I can. I'm also planning a cutting garden this year. I love flowers!!


I have barn envy. I love this color. Mike says it's a girl thing.




I think it's a cool barn thing ;)

I also have duck (or goose) envy:

So cute.

Have you ever?

Thanks for hangin in if you're still reading. I tend to ramble.

Peace.

Trish

    What a fun weekend! I am a dormant gardener who's hoping to do much more of it this year.
    Good luck with yours!

    I confess: I have 'barn reverance' - they are so old, beautiful, and have amazing stories bound w/in their deteriorating walls.... lovely.

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.....

Happy 4th! and... a Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! The pic above is of our local fireworks, which we are lucky enough to be able to see from our house :) We had my family over today for a cookout. Steak and chicken on the grill. Yum!!! I chose the chicken. Weird right. I LOVE steak! However, I had two cupcakes yesterday that my daughter made and decorated red, white and blue for a party, so I felt like I'd indulged enough! I love cooking for people. I think I should have more parties :) I ran yesterday for the first time in a long time. I decided to try out the high school track made out of recycled tires. My hip (long story) was sore, but bearable. I started over with Week 5 of the Couch to 5K training program. Figured it was best not to rush it and injure myself again. I had enough left at the end to run the bleacher stairs for 3 minutes!! (My quads were screaming, but it felt oh so good ;) You can't really tell in the pic, but my face was sooo red! I hate that I get this red. My middle d...
