IMAGES OF SPRING

They're everywhere... little signs that SPRING has arrived.

My "new" neighbors..

"The Robins".. mama so fat and round, ready to lay her eggs and papa, always watching near by.

Brilliant deep brick-Red buds have started to appear on several of the trees outside my window. I don't know what kind they are, but they're so gorgeous.

And my old friend "Mosely" the Maple, hasn't started to bloom yet, but I do see little feathery wisps, that I'm sure are the prelude to Maple leaves.

And aren't those Tulips just stunning?... they were JUST as beautiful last year, and the year before, when I first bought them in the floral section of Pat Catans lol.. sorry.. I probably shouldn't have broke the illusion. I think they look pretty darn real. They're "potted" in a White washed Terracotta pot. It is one of the center pieces from my sister Rita's 60Th birthday party. Tulips are her favorite flowers. We wrote lines from one of her favorite songs: "In My Life".. by the Beatles, on the pots. So we all got one after the party was over, and I think of that day when I see this arrangement!

So... It's the weekend! Saturday is almost gone. I had to work 8-2 today, which, if I have to work on the weekend, I prefer those hours, because at least you still have some of the day left when your done working. I went to work in a "fog"... because I just couldn't fall asleep! I got very sleepy after dinner yesterday, and thought I would take a small nap. It was longer than I wanted, but still, is usually not a problem. I stayed up a little later than normal, but when I finally went to bed.. I knew the minute my head hit the pillow, that I wasn't going to fall asleep. I was so tired, but yet, I just layed there! I kept telling my self to just be still, and I would fall asleep.. well, "my self" wasn't cooperating! I finally got up around 5 a.m.. and really wanted a cup of coffee bad! I thought I'd have the coffee, and watch a little t.v. and I'd still be able to squeak in an hour of sleep, before the coffee kicked in. NOTHIN' So the alarm went off at 6:30.. omg. I dragged myself into the shower.. and thought about turning on the cold water.. nahhhh. Well I made it through work, despite feeling like crap. Got home, and yep, you guessed it, took a 3 hour nap. I could have slept more.. but didn't want to repeat what happened. Soooo.

My son and his girlfriend are coming over in the morning for a visit, so I need to be awake.

And once their gone, I can finish cleaning. I must sound like a complete clean-a-holic, as much as I've talked about it, but.....NOTHING could be farther from the truth!... I'm STILL cleaning.. because I didn't finish putting everything back after the Exterminator was here on Wednesday.. so I'm a Procrastinator!

So that's my big exciting weekend. I will stop "talking" now.. and wish you a great Sunday!
