KIDS GROW FASTER THAN WEEDS

Happy May everyone. The new month is finding me busy with trying to catch up on my weeding. It happens every spring so that's no news to you or to me...

I was planning on getting some hoeing done in a few flower beds today but instead I spent some quality time with my granddaughter Nicole. Her school had an open house today for parents and grandparents. They had turned every classrooms  in different activities. She had chosen the Scrap-booking activity in another classroom.  Of course, I took my camera along but  I can't show all the 70 photos I took today.

Nicole working on her scrap booking and surprised to see me.

The glossy surface did not photographed well but it will give you an idea of her work.

A closer shot of her in the scrap-book. She is quite the diva... looking chic in her nice little hat.

Mama arrived in between meetings and had to go back to work. Since it was a half day for the school kids today I took Nicole shopping with me. I bought lots of stickers for her scrap booking  but no pictures of the purchase. Since it was lunchtime I took Nicole to lunch at Cosco but didn't took my camera in so no pictures either. I needed to buy some vegetables and a big bottle of pure vanilla.

I went to The Depot and I also bought a new toilet seat that goes down silently with just a gentle push and as a bonus it has this kiddie toilet seat that goes with it.  No more slamming the toilet seat down.

Nicole thought that the kiddy seat would make a great frame. I agree, lol...

Waiting for me in the sun room trying different poses. She love being photographed. I told you that  she's a diva.

May first  today and my poinsettia is still blooming although it lost a lots of the green leaves through neglect.

I wish I could sit in the lotus pose like this but I can't sit in full lotus because of  a bad knee cap.

Nicole is tying her sneaker lace on the big rock out front. My tiny little blue flowers are blooming but my boxwood bush got winter damage this year.

We took a little hike to the field and there was one of the eagle in the nest.  It looked so big that Nicole didn't want to stick around for long as she was a little scared.

Here are the two flower beds I worked on yeterday. My daylillies are doing well but not the irises since I planted them so late last fall. They may survive but I won't get any blooms this year in this bed. I bought some potting soil on sale last fall and I put it in there to mulch the tiny weeds. I hope that it'll work. Brown and green looks nice, don't you think? Or  I may plant some flower seeds for this year. lol...

Nicole also came to help me in the barn. She help feed milk to the calves and hay to the bigger ones and the big bull and his consorts.  I put warm milk in the cat bows and shortly after, one of the little kitties walked in the milk and decided to lay down in the warm milk. Nicole thought it was funny.He needed a bath after that, luckily I keep towels at the farm.

After she finished work she said"Mamoo, I don't know how you can do this every day. A grandmother should be at home cleaning house and cooking, not doing this kind of work"  Maybe, she right.

Thanks for dropping in I appreciate your comments so much.
