My tulips in bloom

In the spirit of warm weather and following in the theme of Santini, I would like to present my other tulips at the end of my turn around. The soccer game was warm enough without the wind, but the wind made it feel like 50 instead of the 62 my clock claimed this morning. Unfortunately, the team did not win this one, but TJ was consoled with chocolate donut holes. He seems to be ok with the outcome for now. Better luck next week. Look forward to seeing you there next week Santini?

Sure signs of summer!

Not only wonderful temperature at11:00 this morning, but I got a surprise from my brother in law and sister in law last night. Jeff showed up with Teds old truck filled high with this bark. Not only did him and Julie help the kids and I put it down all around the house, but Jeff said I do not owe him anything. I was touched. I am still family I guess, glad for that.

Finally sun!!!!

I was trying to show the buds on my tree. I am not sure you can see them though, but my new tree survived its first Michigan winter. Now I just have to keep the deer away. Time for the spray.
Lots of sun. Maybe 80 by Friday? If it stays like this today maybe? I sure am hoping. Here's to hoping for warmth and a sign of summer.

From wet and cold to dry and warm, Yeah!!!!

This is the dry and sunny part. It is about time. Yeah!!!!!!! Maybe 67 by Friday. Badmitton anyone?
I say 68.5 degrees. Any other opinions welcome, although I hold true to 68.5.

Wet and Cold, but 67 by Friday, I hope?

Although I would rather have sun, I think my tulips are liking this. The grass has been dethatched and does not look to bad. I think the grass is probably happy to have water as well.
Here is the wet part of it. It is too cold for my blood to take a picture of the thermostat. You will just have to trust me.

Signs of Spring on Comstock

It was so pleasant outside. I decided that the sun was inviting me to bring out the Spring furniture and start the warm weather tradition. Soon, maybe Santini may be able to enjoy this as well and visit the grandchildren.
I found the picture with bubbles to show the fun part of Spring. Lots of bubbles.
50 at11:00 today.

My daughter is 14 and I need to go backwards

Though she does not look super excited. That did change once all the people and teasing arrived. The family did a great job of giving us some distraction from our new reality. Ted was however there very much in spirit and our hearts. A great time was had by all. Unfortunately, she did get older, but also wiser I believe. She has shown great strength and becoming a wonderful young lady.
A beautiful and extremely good cake. My teenager was very pleased. To the wonderful family in Minnesota. Maybe you could imagine finishing up this cake for me.
