Random Friday

I have been working in my gardens a bit this week.  It is so early for this but everyone is loving it.  I love hearing the lawn mowers going and seeing my neighbors out and about working in their yards.  Some of them I don't see all winter until warm weather arrives and then we are all out weeding, planting and trimming.

Noodles is my constant companion even when I don't need one.  He seems to like to lay on my computer table when I am working here.

Now Munchkin on the other hand likes to be in the same room with me but she prefers the sofa with a blanket to sleep on.  She never gets on the computer table for which I am very thankful!

I don't think she even woke up to have this picture taken.

Noodles likes to go on our walks with us but gets tired and wants to be carried or else he howls all the way back.  Tonight we put him in with my mother while we were out so that he couldn't follow us.  We try to sneak out in the morning but he usually hears us and comes running.  Hopefully he will get this out of his system soon and just stay home!

I had a birthday a while back and the kids came over to celebrate.  It was fun as they brought the cake and then let Miss T and Mr. D decorate it for me.

They have these cute little bug cupcakes at the bakery now.  Just the right size for kiddos!

I had a lovely surprise come in the mail from my friend Pea over at Pea's Corner!  What fun to open the box and find a beautifully wrapped present!  Whoops!  I guess I took the picture upside down!

She sure knows what I like!  It's a suncatcher with three horses and it is now hanging in one of the windows in my sunroom and is gorgeous!  Thank you Carole so much, I love it!!!!!

My friend Needled Mom makes the most beautiful post cards and I don't have a clue how she does it but it looks really difficult!  It was such a nice surprise to get one in the mail for my birthday!!!  Thank you NM, I know you put a lot of work into this and I love it!  Some day you must teach me how!!  :o)  Don't you think it goes well with my tiles in the kitchen?!

I don't think she knew it was my birthday but I got another nice surprise from Dawn at Call Me Grandma Dawn!  She knows that I love good old fashioned gospel quartet music as we have had conversations via blogging about this on several different occasions.  Her Hubby has sung in one at her church for many years and they have a cd and she sent me one!  It is excellent, I have listened to it numerous times already and downloaded it onto my Ipod!  Thank you so much Dawn, you made my day!

The turkeys have been strutting their stuff the last couple of weeks trying to impress the ladies.  The ladies looked less then impressed with the whole thing and kept wandering off.  Maybe they are playing hard to get.

If you have stuck it out to the end of this without slumping over in your chair asleep I am impressed.  I didn't get much blog time this week so had a lot to put in here.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
