I am so sorry for your snow. We are still running about two or more weeks behind normal here, depending on the flower or bush you happen to look at. I'm about to order some giant heaters in space. Not the same a space heaters. I will order a couple extra, some to point to Roy and some to point to you.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-85726270642238049002011-05-01T22:11:35.023-05:002011-05-01T22:11:35.023-05:00Seeing the same tree and the row of lilac bushes i...Seeing the same tree and the row of lilac bushes in both photos is so wonderful!

She said they made them when she was a little girl.

I bought bright containers from the $ Store and filled them with diff. kinds of candy. Both families' have been extremely gracious to John and me since we moved in and had asked me to come and see their flower gardens. Ringing the bell and surprising them with the candy was a thrill for me, and even though both were elderly couples, they were very excited and immediately tried a piece of candy. It felt good to surprise someone with a small token of friendship. Thanks for the inspiration.<br />Oh, I can't believe the snow. That would depress me too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-13392873186074347362011-05-01T11:01:46.170-05:002011-05-01T11:01:46.170-05:00Aw! the very merry month of May.Aw! the very merry month of May.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862394699499538591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-42089702611029464622011-05-01T10:49:36.190-05:002011-05-01T10:49:36.190-05:00You still getting snow? you poor thing I will send...You still getting snow? you poor thing I will send some spring to ya ok !<br />Lovely post and photos.<br />Have a good day !Country Gal https://www.blogger.com/profile/08693944554850315123noreply@blogger.com
