Let's do the Friday dance!!!!!



Well here we are heading into another weekend. Is is just me or did this week seem to fly by? Maybe for me it's because of the night shifts and I just seem to loose track of time. That's a picture of Chrome Island hubby took last weekend.

It's starting to look like spring around here. The sun is shining today. I was outside this morning washing and cleaning my car it was glorious. The sun has shone for the past couple of days and I actually have been able to get out into the garden and do some planting. I am really looking towards early summer to see what the garden will look like in bloom. I'm only just learning how to garden, so it's by trial and error. There are so many things to learn about gardening. It really is an art unto it self. I mean, you have to take into consideration the soil conditions, the lighting, the time of year you want things to come into bloom....the height of the plant...the amount of space you need.....oh I get tired just thinking about it. But I have persevered and been buys planting away. Much to my dismay....one of the roses I planted the deer liked as well and managed to eat the leaves off of it. Urgh! Mother nature. Guess that's a small price to pay for having an opportunity to live in the environment to which I do.

This weekend takes hubby and I to the mainland to watch my youngest daughters first dance recital. I am really looking forward to it. She is a little nervous but I am sure she will do fine. Going to the mainland also gives me an opportunity to be with my sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of the month. We are going to stay with her, so I am sure we will have lots of time to catch up.

Well this is short must get ready for the weekend.....I'll post some pictures when we get back.


Cheers all and happy weekend!

Oh how lovely that you can go and watch her dance recital....I know you will enjoy it and she will do just fine. A little stage fright never hurt anyone for long! LOL

Our weather has been lovely the last couple days too and this weekend is supposed to be even warmer. It's still a little early to plant here though. We usually wait until the end of May before it is truly safe to plant in southwest Michigan.....dreaded frost can still hit us until then.

Hugs, and be sure and let us know how it all went !

Mary Anne, I love that picture of the BC Ferries. I haven't been on them for ages, but a friend and I are planning to go to Victoria to see the new Titanic exhibit soon.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers,
Josie

I hope your daughter's recital goes well, you have a wonderful time with your sister, and a great weekend.

And yes, this week did fly by!

Better you than me playing with the flower gardening, etc. I have a "black" thumb - guaranteed to kill plants it comes in contact with.
Hope the weekend trip and recital all go well for you and your daughter.

Beauty surrounds you every season! I would never tire of it.

LOL.. I never put that much thought into my gardens. Maybe that's why some things never grew? :)

Good luck to your daughter with her dance.. and prayers to your sister.

I'm hosting Change of Shift on May 17th, and I was wondering if I can include your post, "Let's do the Friday Dance," in the carnival.
You mentioned in your latest comment on my blog that you would like start participating in carnivals, and I'd be honored if you started in my edition of Change of Shift. Please email me at motherjonesrn@yahoo.com and let me know.

Thanks, MJ
