PATRIOTIC VICTORIAN LADY PICTURE

Thought I'd share with you another one of my

yard sale finds. I found the print for 25 cents

at one sale and the frame for $1.75 at another

sale. The minute I saw the print it captured my

heart and I had to have it. I put the print away

until I found the right frame for it. It is now

proudly hanging in my back room off the kitchen.

SPRING IS HERE

Red bud tree.

Pear tree

Periwinkle

Forsythia bush.

As you can see by the photos above spring has

come to central Alabama. Most of my spring

bushes and trees are in full bloom. Along with the the

daffodils, hyacinths and periwinkle. I am going

to enjoy every moment since I missed it last year.

I hope my azaleas will as pretty as they were last year

when my husband took pictures for me. I do not

remember the name of the bush in the last photo.

God is good and his creations are a beauty to behold.

THANK YOU !!

A year ago yesterday I went into
the hospital as many of my blogging
friends know and spent a total of
two months there. I want to thank
my daughter, Deann, for keeping my
friends up on my progress and all of
you for your prayers. I am doing fine
now. My prayer is that God will
bless us all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE

Wishing my granddaughter, Julie, a very happy

birthday. Hope your day is a very good one. Love

you.

WELCOME THE MONTH OF MARCH

"March bustles in on windy feet and sweeps
my doorstep and my street. She works and
cleans with pounding rains, scrubbing the
earth of winter stains. She shakes the grime
from carpet green till naught but fresh new
blades are seen. Then, house in order, all neat
as a pin, she ushers gentle springtime in."

~Susan Reiner~

ALMOST HERE

It's almost here--It's safe to say, I
saw a crocus yesterday its' color
bright--a lovely thing my heart
rejoiced!! "Twill soon be spring!

EARLY SPRING FLOWERS

We have spent the last few beautiful days raking

leaves and burning them. After raking I found

these spring flowers getting ready to bloom. The

first two pictures of daffodils and the last one is

one of my hyacinth getting ready to bloom. Now

I know spring will soon be here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYCE

My youngest grandson, Bryce, is

celebrating his fifth birthday today.

Bryce, I hope you have a very nice

birthday and get lots of good presents

and have lots of fun. Love you

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Special people are on my mind
each year on Valentine's Day, the
exceptional ones who mean to me
more than I can say. I respect and
admire you, and I just want you to
know you've made a difference in my
life and I want to tell you so.
~Joanna Fuchs~

This poem says exactly what I would
say. Wishing my husband, children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren, relatives,
and friends a very Happy Valentine's Day.
Have a blessed day. Madeline

VISIT WITH SISTER-IN-LAW

It was a nice day here in central Alabama it got up to
50 degrees. My husband and I decided to take a ride
down to see his sister who is in the rehab place after
she broke her hip. She is the one I crocheted the afghan
for, and I am glad to report she really did like it. She had
to put it over her lap to show it off when we took her out
of her room down to the day room so we could talk and
not distrub her roommate. In all we had a good visit.
After we left there we went to visit our daughter who
lives not far from the rehab place. All in all it was a very
nice day for us. Hope where you are it was a good day
for you also.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS

Every flower has its season. For sadness
and joy there is a reason. Love and peace
will take to wing, if only you believe prayer
changes things.

I found this little poem on a precious
moments plaque. Have a blessed day.

MORE SNOW

We got more snow last night a little over 2 inches.

It is a very pretty snow fall. I for enjoyed it and

was glad when I woke up this morning and saw

that the roads were clear and I was able to go

to my doctors appointment. I made it but my

doctor was running late so the nurse did my blood

test and the doctor will let me know this afternoon.

I take blood thinning medicine and have to have

my blood checked every month.

ANOTHER AFGHAN

On these cold winter days having to stay in doors

I have crocheted another afghan. This one is for my

sister-in-law, who is in a rehab hospital after falling

and breaking her hip. She is having to use a

wheelchair and I thought she would like this to cover

up with. It is done in the color of orchid and is soft.

I am now in the process of crocheting another one

for my other sister-in-law.

FEBRUARY 2 - GROUNDHOG DAY

Have a great day everyone.

FEBRUARY

"Freezing cold winds, biting chills, and
white snow fluffed hills. Valentine's
day, oh how gay! President's day is
coming our way. February, sweet and
small, greatest month of all."
