SPRING RANDOMNESS

Spring has Sprung!!

Time to do the yearly reorganization of the garden sprinkler system.

 That Master's degree in Hydraulic Engineering (for you non-engineers - that's the flow of water) is worth something!

 Time to plant peas, onions, lettuce, and spinach.  Wyatt is good help in the garden.

Caitlin read that a definition of a boy is "dirt plus noise".

Speaking of Caitlin -- rafting season has started, and she has started her summer work schedule of 50-hour work weeks.

That leaves very little time with this Grammy.  She and I have always done kitchen crafts together for holidays.  This year she has left me to my own devises.  This idea is all over Pinterest, and I thought I could handle it by myself.  

Let the Bunny races begin ----

I'll include these with their Easter goody bags.

Easter will be quiet for us this year -- just church, which is the most important thing anyway.

Our son, Mike, will be home next week for a day or two when he is on Spring break.  So, we'll have a belated family pulled-pork dinner one night then.

In the meantime, I'll continue sewing on a future quilt making these little 4-inch medallions.  I have 28 of them done -- more to come.

Being a winter-type person; I usually have spring-depression, and not spring-fever.  But, with Easter and the Resurrection, it really is a joyous time of the year.

Joy to you-----

MUSEUM SILENT AUCTION AND EASTER JOY!

This past weekend, the museum in a small neighboring town held a  fundraising silent auction.  They were clearing out some of their duplicates and items that were not from this area of Colorado.  There were hundreds of items, and lots of bargains to be had.  So many items had high bids of $10 and under.  One of our scores was this youth chair.

It has wear in all of the right places.

The scale and size is wonderful.  Just wish I had a grandchild to fit it -- unfortunately mine have all grown too big!

In the future, I'll be showing you some of the other items we won the bid on after we get them all cleaned up.

But, for now, it is time to celebrate the Easter season.  We will be having the annual family Easter egg hunt followed by a Mexican food dinner on Saturday.  Then Sunday, it will be a quiet day after church to reflect on the meaning of Easter.

May you and your family have a joyous Easter!

I will be taking some time away from the blog world to rejuvenate my spirit.  Be back in a couple of weeks.
