Has this not been the longest week ever? And still .. its only half way thru the morning!! I’m sitting here, antsy to get on the road to see my farmer this weekend..and time is seriously craaawwwling..ugh

BUT the good news?

A) Its Friday {as previously mentioned}
B) Its sunny out; and
C) Its going to be a beautiful weekend!

This weekend I will be sitting in what is known as the “buddy” seat, next to my farmer while we spray & seed the fields for this years’ crops. As I met Adam last Spring, this will be my first seeding experience..and although its not everyone’s cup of tea..I’m actually excited! Last August I spent 5 hours riding around with Adam, spraying a field of weeds, and honestly? Loved every minute of it! Thats what’s so cool about A & I, we can do anything and have a blast, as long as we’re together! *sigh* .. I miss him

It is definitely Spring here .. finally!! Every day I take some time to enjoy the fresh Spring air .. I open my windows to freshen up the house and spend time outside with Jakey either playing catch or digging around in my garden. Yesteryday while Jakey and I were chillin on the grass, I took a moment to listen to everything that was happening around me .. it was peaceful, it was inspiring .. it was life!

I could hear the sound of lawn mowers throughout the neighborhood, the smell of fresh cut grass, the sound of a gentle breeze whisking thru the green grass and most importantly the song birds who have finally come home for the season, it was beautiful! And then .. because it was rather warm out .. I heard the sound of this…

*pant* *pant* *pant*
he always knows how to ruin the moment…
Oh well .. back to my story!! Since Jakey here has ruined my beautiful *sounds* of Spring bit .. I just went to shoot some images of the everyday happenings of our life yesterday …

Yeah, we like to cuddle .. it makes Jakey feel loved and keeps me smiling when my farmer can’t be around

and my tulips are starting to bud!! I reckon we’ll have beautiful yellow tulips by the end of the week!!

While yellow is my favorite color .. I must say green comes to a close 2nd .. gee, do you think? hehe I never loved color as much when I was younger, I went straight for blacks, navy and the odd white .. but now that I’m a little older and more aware of what I like .. I go straight for color! Can you tell by the color of my kitchen? {love it!!}
What a wonderful day we had *sigh* now today will be more organizing the house & getting it ready to list, maybe work on a few more projects for submission and possibly a chick flick .. as today it is raining out..the perfect Spring weather to bring on my flowers:)Happy Crafting everyone!

Hey everyone!

How were your weekends? Mine was really productive and fun! Friday we went out and celebrated my news with wings & Caesars at my favorite pub, Rossco’s. It was really fun to catch up with my family but I really wished Adam could’ve been there.. it  just wasn’t the same without him!

Then Saturday we started cleaning, fixing, organizing and working on my home to get it ready to list. This is very bittersweet for me as I love my home..I think its beautiful and a true reflection of me. I hope it sells quickly and smoothly..but it will still be hard for me to walk away after all the blood & sweat we poured in to it just one year ago.

Then Sunday was a relaxation day for me, I slept in much later than I normally ever do, ate breakfast, watched a movie, cleaned my basement, did some laundry, recycled old magazines and headed up to mom and dad’s for Sunday night supper with my family. All in all, a great weekend! Very productive but also very fun!! What were you up to?

I have a few more calls for submissions that are coming up and I would like to submit for, so my plan this week to is to keep cleaning & organizing my basement, keep up with our walks after work, get creating for publications and of course .. take more time for this

because, really, that’s what is truly important in life
