I'm Back!

 After taking a break to recover from the A-Z blogging challenge, I'm back. Here's a little peek into the goings-on around here in the last week and a half.

We had a retirement celebration for Ward, who retired in April. The weather was perfect, and the yard was in its spring glory. Because we still have limited kitchen facilities, we ordered pizzas for the main dish.

And speaking of limited kitchen facilities, our cabinets got delivered a couple of days ago. Yay!

The delivery men said that they deliver all kinds of cabinets from different manufacturers and these are some of the best. So that was good to hear. It was also good to see the cabinets up close and personal because we didn't remember exactly what we ordered; it's been so long.

Another day, we visited a local wholesale nursery to get some plants.
I really enjoyed seeing all of the plants in different stages of growth.

Some of the plants we got at the nursery are the little begonias you see in front of the azaleas. We plant begonias in this spot every year because they do very well here without much maintenance.

Also blooming in the front on the other side of the walk are the yellow variegated tulips that have joined the already blooming red ones.

Also, newly blooming this week is the lily of the valley.

I had a nice Mother's Day because both Wally and Theo were here for a cookout. It was especially nice because, after three days of cold rain, it cleared in the afternoon. This Mother's Day rose is in a vase that was my mother's, and the table it is on was hers, too. A nod to remembering her, too.

Until next time...
