Goodbyes and hellos.

These past two weeks have be trying, but that is life. Another friend is gone, and my walking partner's daughter also passed away. While one was sad, she had a long life. Not so with the daughter, so that was sad and I felt really bad for my friend!! She has had quite a lot on her plate the last two years!!!
On a lighter note, my Morning Doves came back, built their nest, and for the last couple of weeks have been taking turns sitting on the nest with two eggs. Well, they hatched, and the parents are busy feeding the hungry children!!! My young Lilac bushes/trees are getting leaves much to my joy, as I thought they may have been messed up with the rain and cold weather just as they were budding!! And a blueberry bush that my daughter gave me last year isn't dead!!! It has new leaves, that really is good, had thought about pulling it up and planting yet another one. So guess I don't have to do that! :-) My Dahlia bulbs are not showing yet, so not sure of those, it rained so much they may have rotted. :-( So it is a waiting game! Sweet peas are beginning to bloom, they smell so good. I have small plants to put in containers for our garden plant sale, so have things to keep me busy! Spring is finally here, I think!! Went to the farmers market yesterday, they had sweet peas to buy, was tempted, but figured I would have my own soon, so didn't, I did get apples, blackberries, blueberries and salad greens. Yum!! Well, looking forward to this coming week. Ta Ta Antique Rose

  1. Well hello there, I have missed seeing you lately. Some new things are coming about. I am so sorry to hear about your walking partner's daughter. I remember when you lost her but now her daughter. You never know what tomorrow will bring. May God Bless them both.

    Say hello to your girls and hugs to you. If you are coming my way, please email me I want to be sure I am in the store when you come in. I have some beautiful plates that I have never put out and I think I am ready to sell now!!! You know how I do keep some of the pretties for myself for a while..... Have a nice week. Hugs, sandi

  2. Hi Sandi,
    Thanks for thinking of me. I hope that I can come with daughter on the spring break(I think week after Easter). I wish I could come more often, but life gets in the way!!! I will email when I am certain of the date. Plates sound nice!!! Hugs, Fran(Antique Rose)

  3. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend's daughter.

    We're still waiting for the weather to become spring-like around here, but it sounds beautiful in your area!
