It's Off!

I saw the doctor on Monday and got the cast off!  WooHoo!  I'll have to have some physical therapy 

and wear a brace, but at least it's not as ugly as the cast.   

As soon as I can handle a needle again, I'm going to start on my list of ornaments that I plan to 

give as gifts this year.  

I also plan on starting a 14 week CAL (crochet along) I've been following.  Each week a new square is introduced and since I want to make a large blanket for our bed, I will be crocheting 8 of each square.  

I have no stitching to show, so I'm sharing a few other photos. 

Not sure what this flower is.
It's blooming earlier and more than it ever has.

I thought it was cool that this hummingbird perched on my hummingbird garden stake.
Sorry this isn't a very clear photo, I took it through the screen door. 

Hollie doesn't like when I use my laptop and thinks she needs to chew on it (and me) to get my attention.
Not cute!

And this is the look I get when she behaves and I give her my attention!

It's Commissioning and Graduation at our house this weekend.  DD will leave on June 22 for her Army summer assignment.  Then in August, she will go to another base for a leadership course until December.  We think she'll get to be home for Christmas before she reports to her next assignment in January.

Have a great week and be safe!

Visitors

Male Rose-Breasted Grosbeak 

I think this one looks like he is ready to have a conversation with me!

These are first time visitors to my backyard and I'm enjoying watching them.  

I have counted 4 males and at least 2 females.

The Hardy Azalea is spectacular this year!

I love how vibrant the blooms are!

Hollie's new thing is smiling when she wants something!  

Hollie stays with us during the week and we've been working on obedience.   

Dottie "shows" Hollie how it's done so Dottie can get a treat too, lol.

We celebrated DD's birthday on Mother's Day.  I can't believe my youngest is 23 years old!  

She's looking forward to graduation and commissioning with the Army in June.  

Not much else going on.  It's only been 3 weeks since I got the cast, 

but it sure seems like it's been much longer.  

Have an awesome weekend!

Happy 11th Birthday Dottie!

I'm planning on ordering some of the new Lizzie Kate designs -- I just can't make up my mind which ones, lol.

I'm slowly getting my stitching mojo back, but any stitching will have to wait.  I managed to tear ligaments and fracture my right wrist over the weekend.  I had sprained it moving firewood over the winter and thought it was healed, so I wasn't wearing the brace while helping Hubby cut down an apple tree.   Hopefully I'll get the ugly cast off by the time my daughter graduates in June.

Praying for all those affected by storms and bad weather.

Be Safe!
