Today was a BEAUTIFUL day!! And a very busy and productive day for us. We started out at Home Depot where we purchased decorative rock, a hose reel, a storage chest for our porch, new patio chairs & small end table, azalea food, and the beautiful Pixie Lilies that are in the picture (we got 2 orange and 2 red for our planters in the back yard). Then after eating lunch we came home and got to work. Terri had two cakes to bake and while she was doing that I worked in the yard. The weather was perfect - about 65-70 degrees. I cleaned off the back deck and put the storage chest and new furniture out. Then I trimmed the azaleas, put azalea food around them, put the lilies in the planters, put the rock out. And that was the back yard. Then we went out front and pulled weeds, put out some more rock (we need lots more bags of rock - didn't get enough) and then Terri mowed the yard. It is a nice feeling to see the yard starting to look nice again. The tree in our front yard has beautiful white blooms on it and our magnolia bush and redbud are both blooming now. Spring in NE Tennessee can be SO PRETTY. There are so many flowering trees, bushes and the flowers are everywhere. Even some of the weeds can be pretty!! One cannot go anywhere without seeing God's Handiwork. He has made this world very beautiful and when I see all the beauty in nature surrounding me, I can't help but say - THANK YOU LORD FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME AND FOR SHOWING ME IN THE BEAUTY OF NATURE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE US!!!
