Now April


Happy April!

I have spent days trying to get new photos to my blog. I finally gave up and decided to just write with photos from the past. Today was a lovely spring day. We finally had rain last night so today is a puffy cloud day. We had a mixed up month March was like April, and who knows what April will be. I still love April though, the new lacy green leaves, the lovely smell of growing. I have some peppers and tomatoes growing under lights. I am pondering what other lovely things I can plant. Maybe some zinnias. 

We went for a week to the beach. It was fantastic. No people to speak of and we had the beach to ourselves. The weather was perfect and I did hook and I did do counted cross stitch. I did read. But we walked the most. We had Polly with us and she loves the beach. I also cooked. For some odd reason, I always feel like when we are camping in the trailer, I am back to playing house. I loved play houses as a child and I always could make one that would keep me busy and my grandparents farm always had something growing. So I could make dinners out of walnuts, pecans, or pinon nuts. 
 

When I was in kindergarten, In the corner of the class room was the cutest little house. I always wanted to play in it. The play house would be a total mess, and that was when the teacher would let me play in it to clean it up. She would say, "Kim, would you like to clean the play house?" I always did. So when we go camping I have that same memory and I finally get to play house to my hearts content. 

We walk that path 2 or 3 times a day. There are so many things to watch. The sea changes color with the different times of day. It was during a heat wave so it was about 75 every day. It was lovely. I can't show you any of my hooking because I can't figure out how to get my pictures to my computer. 

I am still around though. Its been a delightful week. Only four more weeks and I am off for the summer. I can hardly wait.

What an endearing memory of your youth.
You have a techie hubby who can teach you how to get your photos to your computer. It's easy, just have him show you once.

Your week at the beach sounded heavenly!
Hopefully hubby or one of your kids can get new pictures uploaded to share with us!

I love these pictures! I don't know if I would be able to use Blogger anymore either. I don't think I've ever seen such nice beach weather, except maybe in October! Were there starfish? There's always some weird sea life on the beach in different months.

Happy April, my friend, and Happy Easter. I am running so very far behind here. I'd hoped to do an Easter post and yet here it is Easter eve night and I'm still trying to put together a little meal for tomorrow for my son, DIL and grand. How I ever did things "before" I can't even begin to know. Your week at the beach sounds wonderful. The past two nights we've had ice storms and It snowed again today. 75ยบ sounds like a dream. While I'd love to see your new projects and photos, I'm happy just having you check in.
