Even though I absolutely loved my previous blog header, I was comtemplating a change. So when I opened up my favorite blog @ www.bethandcompany.blogspot.com/ (aka my talented daughter) and saw Beth's new look, I was inspired! Immediately I called to compliment and before I could even ask, Beth was offering to 'practice' on my blog. Yahooo.... I love it when that happens!!!Anyway, a little birdie told me that Beth might have a 'give-away' in the near future, where several blog makeovers would be awarded. So you might want to check in daily! Hope your heart is happy and your feet are warm.
roads were icy. Everything was covered in a glittery frost. It was lovely and delightful! School was closed and Coach was home for two whole days. Whoohoo!!! However, it wouldn't last long. On the second day, the sun came out and by noon all traces of our winter storm were gone! I could hardly wait to 
get outside and start planting the six flats of pansies I bought, right before Jack blew in.
So I put on my Martha Stewart garden gloves, grabbed a vintage hand trowel and headed to my potting shed. Where I started planting pansies and bulbs in everything imaginable. I love the way galvenized sap buckets look with purple and blue pansies. Pretty cool!
But it is hard to resist the simple charm of old clay pots. I've collected alot of these over the years and I particularly fond of the ones made out of white clay. I get so excited when they have moss growing on them. My friend Sheri Ratliff told me recently that you can encourage this by brushing buttermilk onto the flower pots. I can hardly wait to try it.
I sat daffodill bulbs on the bottom. Then more soil and then lot's of
pansies!
These daffodill's, in the flowerbed, are already sprouting up. I can hardly wait until the first bloom. This is the variety I buried under the pansies.
Have a whiff! Hmmmmm!
What are you waiting on? Go get some pansies and bulbs right now! You can thank me later.
Twenty eight years ago today, my first baby was born. She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. It was love at first sight. I remember like it was yesterday. Coach named her Beth. We adored her and took her home...never to be the same again. Two years later, on Beth's second
birthday, we surprised her with the sweetest little baby. A sister named, Kimberly. We doubled our pleasure and doubled our fun! 
They became fast friends and we became forever family.

Cuties....

You girls have brought us countless joy. Our lives are rich and full! Thank you.
I wrote a Mother's day tribute to her. She is a precious woman. Full of life and love and lot's of colorful stories. A great mother, to more than her own. Loved by many! And if she tells you she is shy, don't believe her. Happy Birthday Mama! You are a jewel and I love you with all my heart!
