You know it's Spring when....

~Spiders take over.

Not just two webs......
But a whole field of them




















You know it's Spring when.....
~Doves are f.........oopps..."getting to know each other" - right outside your kitchen window
"How YOU doin'?"

ahem

"Do you think they saw us??"
You know it's Spring when.....
~It has been raining non-stop for 18 hours now, (you know, April showers bring May flowers) but you can still leave the windows open for fresh air. 

The rain is good, it gives me hope for my very first tomato plant. The ground will be nice and moist for when I plant her, and this year we can have fresh, home grown tomatoes.  We haven't enjoyed homegrown tomatoes since we moved here. My MIL, Bridget, kept us supplied in previous years, so we really missed them last year after we moved.
My first tomato plant,
soaking up the rain this morning. 
I have never grown tomatoes before, and since I am not know for my great gardening skills, I am a little nervous about this lone little plant. But I have high hopes. Any tips would be much appreciated.

What are some signs of Spring in your neighborhood?

    I'm certainly not one for gardening tips! That is for giving them. I'm going to try lettuce in pots...can you kill those?

    I am not looking forward to the spiders this Spring and Summer because they are great at taking over. All those webs are a little scary. I love the photos of the birds. They sure like to get busy this time of the year. Good luck with your tomato plant, I grow they every year and every year something goes wrong. I will still try again this year and hopefully we will both have a bumper crop!

    We just picked our last tomato last week, it's starting to get too cold now. Our learnings from this summer? Remember to water them and chase the birds before they eat them. Enjoy!

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
