My dear, sweet, adorable husband! Notice the tattoo. Neither of us are big fans of tattoos but this one is a badge and then the dates of the shootings he's been in...
Samantha planted some seeds... Lavender and poppies... I have only tripped over them once!
Beautiful yellow Forsythia...
Our little gnome we got at a garage sale last summer made it through the winter...
We are going to move these 2 Boxwoods to the play area...
View out the back door onto the deck and the Eastern Redbud tree that is blooming.
The view out our front door. The flowering pear trees are so beautiful but boy do they stink. When the petals start to fall it looks like it's snowing. John recently dug up the pathetic little red maple in the background out by the road. I had kept hoping that it would start looking better but it just got more and more pathetic looking. When Skip (neighbor across the street) made fun of it I knew it was time or it to go.
Kelly's "Big Dog" is so sweet. He looks almost little when he curls up on their couch. And, I love how he has his head on the pillow...
I love Susie's new shoes. She got them at Land End and I want them... they'd be perfect for walking since I hate wearing traditional sneakers...
I was washing dishes one afternoon and looked out the kitchen window where this little guy was perched on the neighbors fence about 3 feet away. MY MARSHAL KITTY HAS COME HOME! I swear it looks exactly like him right down to the 3 white hairs on his chest. I tried to catch him but as you can see he didn't want to come home to me... Samantha rolled her eyes the whole time...
Arlene's 3 caret ring...
Samantha makes the best cookies. Here she is waiting for the oven to pre-heat. I hate those surround speakers in the background. 
I love how Samantha climbs up on the counters to get stuff... I used to do this when I was little. I remember climbing up onto the counter in the pantry to reach the cabinets because that's where Mom used to hide candy. One time I broke something. I don't remember what it was but I do remember Dad got blamed for it.
Mom gave me this Airedale and I love him, he looks great in front of my fire place and reminds me of home. Shortly after he came to live on my hearth Mom called and said she misses him. Well Mom, he has a message for you: "I am happy here..."

Kate, everything looks so pretty! I'm not a green thumb though my mom seems to be able to bring back anything from the dead--well anything plant-like that is! I bought a few small lavendars and Mexican heathers and replanted them. One of the four heathers is growing much faster than the others and both lavenders are doing ok, not dead, no brown leaves so that's good. My azaleas are doing good, but no blooms yet this year. They may not bloom at all. The gardenias are doing well, have buds and are ready to bloom but still no blooms! Hope they bloom before the damned aphids get them. I need some ladybugs to eat those suckers up.
Hey about the meat (you posted on my blog earlier) try the Maverick brand meat only. They are excellent. The buffalo hot dogs are a slightly stronger taste than what you're used to but they are good!! And they are also better for you. I've heard buffalo "beef" is bloodier, but the Maverick beef is from cattle. I heard about his ranch from two different sources, one of the guys I work with knows the owner--met him at a conference and then I read about him afterwards in Fast Food Nation. The guy who owns the ranch has great values and principles regarding the raising of animals for food. He doesn't use pesticides and lets his pasture land go untouched--he doesn't even kill the snakes. He leaves the environment to nature. I really like his work ethic and his values, so I don't mind paying for it!
Let me know if you try it. The ribeyes are great too.
