My SunFloWerS aRe BLooMinG..;)

Good Morning everyone!!! The house is all swept, vacuumed and mopped.done by 9:05am this morning..I tell you I have so much more energy now that I have started exercising..I feel good..just like I knew that I would now!!! (does a song come to mind?)
Did I get your attention with the title? lol..I decided to move these sunflowers to the front yard..last year they were in the veggie garden..and since we have ripped out alot in the front yard I decided to put them there..they are sitting amongst the orange day lilies..We ripped all of it out or so we thought..and this is what has come back..so we will keep an eye on them..and let them go for a bit..I love this little area now.;)
here they are from my craft window..Well yesterday my friend Heather decided to come over to my place so we went for a walk..we did the 2-1/2 mile walk again..it is always nicer to go with someone..and it was great to visit with my friend too.:)
I am down 12 pounds now..and I am feeling so good..going grocery shopping with Sarah today to our Commissary..their prices are so much better and we are hitting Joanns too..I have been working on my little garden gloves at night..have 2 done and 2 more just to stitch around the hand..then off they go to some of my blogging buddies...I want to thank Theresa who commented yesterday on my blog for the wonderful compliment..heck I will thank all of you for the wonderful things you say..;) I love blogging and I love all of you that stop by for a visit each time I post..;) you all make it worth doing..:) I have been watching the Waltons again..Thanks to Maggie for letting me know it was coming back on..I haven't missed an episode..I DVR it and then watch them later..I love this show...and love the simplicity in which they lived their lives and now I find myself looking at the house decor to see how prim it is..;) and get ideas too.;) do you all like the waltons?

Have a wonderful day everyone.;)

  2. Yes I love the Waltons...watched the show when it originally aired then Don and I watched reruns. I like that it was based on a family from Virginia...my parents, my sister and I lived through those times, so it brings back memories. Yes you did "catch" me with your sunflowers blooming...but I like the decorative ones in your flower bed too! I still decorate inside with sunflowers even though the sunflower era ended sometime ago. I find things in the thrift stores!

  8. Wow 12 lbs! I told you I saw it in your pretty face! You caught me with the sunflowers too. I love sunflowers. Yes, love them Waltons. I think my favorite scenes are when they are sitting at the table to eat. I like to hear what they're having--I think today theu said egg and hash and something else. Leave it to me to like the menu! And of course I love the Grandma & Grandpa. They were a good team for that show. I think I'm gonna sneak me some of the Baldwin sisters' recipe....Some days I could use some "recipe"! ;)

  10. 12#! Honey~that is great! Tell me your secret!
    I loved the Waltons. I'll look for them. I prefer many of the old shows to the new stuff on. I do NOT like reality TV!
    For me, sunflowers will always be 'in'!

  11. Wow great for you, 12 pounds is fantastic. I loved the Waltons when I was a kid. It is still on one of the cable channels somewhere. The older ones were the best.

  12. Love those sunflowers!!
    Congrats on being down 12 lbs now!!! Way to go!! The doctor has me walking as my therapy...it is to keep my back muscles flexible, but I hope it helps me lose a little more weight too.
    Actually did some embroidery today...it felt good after not making anything for way over a month.
    Was wondering if you can get on my blog or not...it seems that wordpress is having some problems. I couldn't even check anything on it yesterday without it crashing on me.

  13. Ilove your house! Your yard is great and I love that trellis. Are those all recycled pieces and how did you build it? My tulips and crocus are coming up and the trees are budding and by next weekend I will cut the grass.
