THINGS THAT PUTS SMILES ON MY FACE IN THIS RAINY WEATHER

It's been raining and raining here this week too and I managed to get one section of my garden weeded when the sun came out for a short time last evening. I weeded till 9:20 pm and it got dark. That brought a smile on my tired face.


The cool weather and the rain is making my crabapple blossoms to last a lot longer this year. They are so beautiful that it brings a smile on my old face. I took this picture yesterday when the rain stopped for  short time.


I love those blossoms. Just can't get enough of them.


Isn't Mother Nature grand. Thank you Mother Nature, they are beautiful.


My daughter picked, clean, blanched and froze 6 bags of nice fat fiddleheads for me. Now that brings another smile on my greedy face.


I've been begging for a genuine smile from Daniel. Today my daughter Christine sent me some photos in an email.  Now that's a genuine smile and it's catchy because it has caused me to smile the biggest smile of all. Thanks Christine.


Here's another one for good measure.


Seeing updates of James also is cause for smiling.  Hope his dad has picked up playing his guitar again.


It's good enough for another smile. I hope that my post has caused you to smile on a dreary day. I Hope that you are keeping dry.

My  blogger friend Kim is celebrating her birthday today and that should make her smile. It does me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kim.  http://milliesmat.blogspot.com/

Having 142 followers  is cause to smile too. Thanks for visiting and keep on smiling.

Happy Memorial Day on Monday to my American friends.

  8. Always love looking at your pictures. Babies and flowers make me smile too!! Grandchildren are the best. Lots of rain here in Rhode Island, so I won't be getting out to weed and plant either. Enjoy your weekend, Julia!

  9. What beautiful blessings! A baby smile is always contagious, isn't it? And your garden is coming along nicely. Ours is small but tenacious - we, too, are getting lots of rain this Spring but so far the veggies continue to grow. Have a great weekend, Jan

  17. Wonderful smiley post for sure! We need some of that rain. I love the sun, but we're behind in moisture. It's been cold with freeze and frost warnings. I haven't even planted a veggie yet..good thing because they would have gotten frostbite last night. Your garden looks perfect and so do those cute Grandkiddos of yours. Our Memorial Day should be warmer and sunny so I hope to finish the last of my outdoor projects. I'll plant next week when it's suppose to get warmer. Have a great weekend!

  19. Your Grandchildren are darlings. Big eyes. I am enjoying your blogs.

    I have 6 Grandchildren and now they are teen and oldest is going into third year of University to be a teacher to the KK grades.

    She has helped teach once a week with regular teacher and loves it. She said the children made a card for her at end of University and printed their names. My Graddaughter sings lovely. So they said. Will you be back next year and bring your voice. Ha,ha.

  25. Those crabapple blossoms were lovely! That's cool that you have such a nice garden. I get so weary pulling weeds out of my family's potted plants, that I can't imagine weeding a whole garden. Good for you for being able to keep it so pretty! With such blooming flowers too!
