A REAL WINNER

It's Sunday and we are sitting at the Dairy Queen dining on a delicious BLIZZARD when a car pulls up beside us.    The driver gets out.   I look over and see this bulldog staring into my open window as I eat each spoonful of that great tasting ice cream.    Spencer is whimpering.   The dog keeps looking.   I just had to get a snapshot as I studied his personality - kind, happy, comfortable.   You never know what you run into daily,
but this site is a winner!

Our garden is beginning to show some growth.   With all the colors, the bike once again speaks among those cherished flowers.   We see new beauty appearing every morning the sun arises and realize our work has paid off.

HIDDEN CAMERA

Have you ever thought you have lost something that you needed because you were going to forego an opportunity to capture something?   Well, I did!    Yesterday I went to Mary Jo's with the purpose of learning how she creates fabulous greeting cards.   I wanted to catch moments of this adventure on the camera.   I looked in my purse, no camera.   My coat pocket, no camera.   It's like losing something I totally use every single day.   I had another appointment so I couldn't waste time looking for the thing that I needed to record Mary Jo's procedure in making those cards.  I spent almost 2 hours watching her produce the most original and lovely pieces.   When opening the car door to leave, there is the camera!   Sitting in the sun on the car seat.   This is how my life is going.  I want to thank her so much for giving up her time to show me how to one day try this most interesting adventure.   Selling these cards at DownEast and Seasons DownEast, among other places, is a real treat to acquire such masterpieces.   Way to go, Mary Jo!

Already purchasing flowers!   RED petunias scream "pick me" as we walk through Barley Joe's nursery of beauty.
A RED truck, which I would buy in a heartbeat, sits on the porch of what used to be 3-Dog Cafe in Rockport!    Look at those wheels and the amount of flowers that would fit in the truck bed.

I always love to paint red flowers.   So beautiful and lovely.

And lastly, May is not even here yet and look our green-green grass growing already.   I can just imagine the RED showing up in that nearby garden.   It is spring and there are many things that tell you the season is taking over.

The last of Susan's deliciousness is now GONE!    After eating it daily for a week, it has finally disappeared.    It's my favorite snack around 2:00 because I have never tasted such a wonderful and scrumptious bite.   Susan, you have made my day - well, several days!

Leon has been painting away.   He has completed six acrylic masterpieces in all different sizes - huge and small.   This is the one he just finished for me.   It is now hanging in the art studio by my easel as a reminder of how far Leon has come in the world of painting.   I LOVE IT, Honey!

It's now the end of March and look what covers the ground outside.   More snow!   We've had our share of it this year.   I love to see the fresh brightness it claims and so enjoy waking up to it, but it's time for SPRING to appear!

Karyl stopped over yesterday to work on Garden Club stuff and greeted by Spencer.   I swear that dog is half human and the size of a small child!  After greeting Karyl he jumped in a living room chair and continued his nap.   He is such a blessing in the Bausch house.

Looking out of the car window and spotting a winter wonderland is a gift of sorts.   Even the rearview mirror gives us a lovely picture.
It offers a look at a fabulous setting.
