Flowery Days of Spring

Days with more flowers to view especially the one that is outside through the kitchen window. I did take the picture of it outside when it was sunny. It's cherry flowers but no cherries. Now it is going away. 

New mug that I got at TJ Maxx store to use part of the gift card that my sister Kerri gave me last month. I like Vincent Van Gogh drawing of Irises. I like irises as well as there is some blooming beside our house.

Flowery trees in front of my car at church when I go to bible study. More flowers going on the front of my car a earlier this week. Phil thought it was bird poop on my car. That's what happens at times when he returns home from work. Made me smile!! 

The first lilac bush is different color that the second lilac bush. The first on I have had for years and the second is close to our garage. I could smell the aroma of it this afternoon when I came home from shopping. Hopefully Megan's lilac bush will keep growing. She was able to get it into a deeper pot. We both got them at Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens in Woodland, WA. It was good to visit there a few years ago to see Mrs. Jane Kirkpatrick. She did write a book "Where Lilacs Still Bloom." March 2012 was most likely the first time I had been there. 

Even though it looks like Christmas, I put the roses that I got last week in the living room. I most likely with change the Christmas time to something else with Precious Memories and different angels. All though we need angels in our life and God helps us through rough times in life. 

I found this recipe online as I read something about it on the box Minute brown rice. I finally made it last week. It was delicious. I am going to start making it a bit earlier as there is items to cut and heat up. It was good to have Phil help me with it. I hope you can view what the recipe is if you want to use it. 

Orchid flowers I got last week at a store where I shopped at. I hope to put it in the ground where other flowers are at and be able to see it next year!!

This is a bag that I made last Wednesday afternoon at the adult center. It took a bit longer that I expected but the other people there had fun as well and talk with each other once in a while. It will be most likely to somebody's gift. I wish there was something to read and know a bit more how to make it. I like the red, white and blue colors due to 250 years in the USA in July!!

We have had some rain last week but none this week. Warmer weather a few times then cooler. 
Phil and I had a good time meeting our friend Steve who had a stroke Sunday afternoon after church and eating lunch. We drove home to put the cooler on as it was warmer that day. Steve was happy to see us and he understood what we told him. Later after we got back home, Phil went on a walk and unfortunately, he tripped and his left arm wasn't good once he got home on his first lap of walk. I was able to find a bandage and Megan helped him a bit more. I did go on a walk with him after that was taken care. I did need to shop at Walmart to get another bandage box that had a good size and would stay connected to his arm. I did find it and found a few other items that we needed before getting back home last night. 

  It was good to view the hydrangea plants when we got back home walking on Sunday afternoon. We have had it for over 30 years as we are still at the same house. 
Again, this week Megan is having chemo, and my sister Kerri will have infusion. 
Sad that there are more cancers in our family and some people that we know. So grateful for prayers and help through our Lord Jesus Christ who knows the people in need. 

Have a good time in your life!! Hopefully you will be able to read your bible in whatever language that you use. Have a good week, my reader friends!!
