Morning!  Spring has finally finally found it's way to the NorthLand...lol....We have been having some really nice warm and sunny days....Haven't been in the house much...Raked out our flower beds...accumulated leaves, and fertilized and dug up our small veggie garden, got out some lawn furniture, and pots, washed screens, washed inside of windows, and put up screens....As I write it down it doesn't seem like all that much...but have found that chores that use to take an hour now take an afternoon...lol...Anybody else finding that? 


Having my dmil here for Mother's Day....Going to pick her up tomorrow...and have lunch with hubbys sis and bil, and a neice and nephew that are home for the weekend....Then son and boys will be here Saturday along with my folks....for supper...then we are going out for brunch on Mother's Day....Then have to take dmil home as she has a doctor appointment on Monday....So a busy weekend...


Today I have to tidy up the house a bit....and make sure I have food for 8 on Saturday...lol...Also some errands to run today...


If I don't get back in have a wonderful rest of the week and Great weekend ....and Happy Mother's Day....no matter if you are a mom or not....Find something to make you smile!!


Hugs,

Hi Ruth. I sure know what you mean, about things getting harder as we get older. I'm exhausted just reading your list! Holy toledo! I'm lucky if I can keep up with the laundry and dishes, forget all the yardwork. I'm glad spring is finally getting up north. We've had some, then it gets cold and rainy again. This morning, it's sunny and warm, but there are storms predicted for this afternoon. Dh cut the grass on Mon. and it needs it again, with all the rain. At least the rain makes the ground soft and easier to pull the weeds, if I could work up the energy to get out there and do it.


Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy your family time.
