Mid-Spring Theory

Where has the time gone? I know that I haven't posted in over a month. Probably due to the fact that spring is here and there is so much to be done. I was able to sit out on the deck with a glass of wine and knit. It was so peaceful. The air was slightly warm with just a touch of a cool breeze. Spring is a great time of year. As you can see the ants love to walk around on my peonies. This makes me happy cause I know that they are just that much closer to blooming. (the peonies, not the ants) I can't grow much but these peonies always look awesome.



The tree in my front yard had bloomed. I think it is a Dogwood tree. I could be wrong. It's pretty. I have also been working on fixing my grass. I found some grubs. I did manage to grow some new grass in a bare area of my yard. I was thrilled by this. I got myself a push mower. It's great cause the gas mower scares me. Plus the price of gas is so high but with this I don't have to worry about it. The first day I was using it the mailman was walking by and he told me I was his hero cause he remembered using one when he was young and he hated it.

My lilac bush is in bloom. It is by my living room windows so when the breeze is blowing you can smell them. It is such a sweet smell. I have to remember to trim the bush back this year in the fall. It is quite large and probably very over grown.

I have a new theory as to why I don't finish much or let it sit for so long that I don't know where I left off and end up just ripping it out. It's blog posting. It seems when ever I post a project to my blog and say what it is I loose interest in it. It's like a curse. This is a picture of one of the projects I am working on. I am not saying anything more about it and we will see if I finish it.
I did get a new camera as an early Mother's day present. I love it. I am still trying to get use to using it. It's been a while since I have used a SLR camera of any kind.
I took the above 4 pictures with it and so far I think that I have taken some good pictures. I will keep working on it.
