look!

Look at it. LOOK at it! I think its one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I'm beaming like a parent. Amazed that A) I didn't kill it & B) Its actually blooming! I just can't believe its really happening.

Funny how the things that make you happy change slightly as you age.

Oh, and I did in fact frog my ripples. Only a few rows in and I already like it better.

a good time was had by all

This was very difficult to do. I hate myself in pictures.

friday!

My day started off very stressed but its turn out to be very good! First I get this lovely little package from LeeAnn. Isn't it sweet, so much more than I was expecting! I of course I got the Dogwood tag/cards because I was #2. BUT she also included these other sweet little floral tag/cards, and some little bobs from her collection! I feel so lucky! Thank you LeeAnn I love it all.

(I adore the little daisy pin, its one of my favorite flowers)

Then I see this in my hydrangea this season. This is the first flower to sprout since I planted it 2 years ago. Frankly I was just glad to see it come up again at all. I may have mentioned it before...I kill plants. Unintentionally of course.

I have a big weekend a head of me, that I am so stinkin excited about it I can't even stand it. First the Wine Festival Saturday afternoon then Saturday evening I am meeting up with some old friends. There will be about 6 of us if everyone makes it out. I can't wait! I have also recently reconnected with another old friend via email. We spoke for the first time 10 years today! I'm still giddy from it.

Ah, friends are good. :o)
