Grandma's Day!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend and weren't in the areas hit by storms. My prayers go out to all of the families that have been affected by them and the devastation they caused.

My son and Nicholas came to visit Sunday, it was nice to enjoy the day with them and Nick always puts a smile on my face.

I didn't really want to celebrate Mother's day, a bit bittersweet for me, but I did want to enjoy it with my son and grandson. I got an idea for the perfect present for me, can you guess what it is?

Nicholas wanted to help too.

Getting it together, Nick made sure everything was in place.

Time for a ride! I got myself a wagon, fun to pull Nick around and you can take the top half off and use it as a utility wagon, perfect for gardening and hauling water buckets out to Dani's tree. We stopped to enjoy my apple tree. Bill put in a nutrient spike and the tree just blossomed with beautiful blooms and the other apple tree was dead looking and now it has blooms too.

Bean was loving it too, he loves having people to play with, but he gets thirsty while running around. Bill fills the bucket with fresh water, so he can have a drink when he needs one. Today was cleaning day, I did more in one day than i have in weeks and I am exhausted, but that is good, I will sleep well tonight.

This and That Giveaway!

This weekend we worked on the yard and got Dani's tree planted. We have neglected our yard for years and it is time to clean it up, add plants and areas that we can enjoy with family and friends.

Our son came over to help and of course Nicholas had to help too, he loved driving the tractor with grandpa.

They drove around Dani's tree, I look forward to the day when it gets larger and then we can add a bench and have a nice place to sit under and think happy memories.

I was playing around, trying to take a picture and then I ended up playing with photoshop and this is what I ended up with. I call it Fire Spirit, but what do you think it really is? Give me  your guess and I will pick a name from the comments. The winner will get their choice of one of my epatterns or booklets. I will pick a name and announce it on Friday night.
