It was a nice and quiet weekend with lovely sunshine and pleasant temps to
all though chilly at a times . Papa and I just puttered about . Our kids called
me for mothers day and we had a nice long chat and they sent me happy mothers
day wishes both on the phone and in a Facebook post so that was nice . It was a
difficult weekend for the family as well as Saturday was my sister Ann’s
Birthday and Sunday Yesterday was the day she passed away a year ago at only 62
so a very emotional weekend to .
On Saturday Papa and I started to paint these little decorative birdie houses
that we bought from the dollar out on the patio table , the painting is done ,
now we have to stencil on them as to what we want on them( ie) flowers ,
butterfly's and paint them to they will be all done soon .
As they were drying Papa went to his work shop to putter about more lol and I
took some more photos .
Miggs loves to be with Papa when he is in his work shop .
My first clippings of our Lilacs this season MMMM ! They smell wonderful .
Mr Rose beak was enjoying his time at the feeder chowing down .
As the day and weekend came to an end I decided to take some evening sunset
photos as the sun was hiding behind the trees in the back in the west as it
slowly sank into the western horizon .
Not quite what my eyes saw it like but heck I liked the look of it as it gleams on the leaves
and shines through the branches !
Then I saw the sun set light shining on part of the valley in the east .
My favorite times of the day this time of year is at sun rise and at sun set ,
the light is so pretty and gentle as it casts shadows and different colours
across the land .
Mr and Mrs Cardinal like this time of the evening at sun set and morning at
sun rise to while they feast as the other birdies are tucked into bed .
Today the sun is shining as it will be for the week now and the temps are
rising to where they should be for this time of year . The gardens are blooming
the grass is growing to and Miggs is waiting to go for her walk so I am off to
get my day started and hope you all had a lovely weekend and Mothers day
yesterday and a good day today .
I had to do this post through blogger template as I use Open Live Writer but it isn't working properly today keeps giving the 404 error so my post set up is different then usual . Oh well thats the way the cookie crumbles lol !
Until next time .

You had such a lovely weekend. Today has been wonderful, grosbeak, oriole, hummingbird and all the regular visitors to the feeders. I got the last of the peas planted, got the seed potatoes ready to plant and just relaxed on the deck. Hope you had a great day too.
Sunsets are usually stunning here in Texas if we have a few clouds near the horizon. Love those cardinals!
What a nice looking little workshop barn!
