Scavenger Hunt Sunday The May 19, 2013 Edition

Oops again, have missed a couple of weeks.  Either I wasn't motivated, or no time...probably a little of each.  Last weekend was very busy and I am surprised I managed to get it together this week, altho some of mine are a bit of a stretch.  I should entitle this Green Scavenger Hunt Sunday because every image I have is predominately green.  This week's challenges are:
  • Three
  • Hand(s)
  • Fence
  • Cuddly
  • Sign
First up...this ivy that grows all up the side of my house has three lobes on its leaves.


It is going to take many hands to get rid of all the dandelions in my yard this year....PS, this is kind of a stretch.


The flowers from the Bridal Wreath bush are hanging on the fence.


Mr. Rabbit is all cuddly in his bed of ground cover....(but it looks like one is growing up his nose, snort)


When the red markings on the rose leaves begin to show it is a sure sign that roses will follow soon.


Linking to Ashley's Scavenger Hunt Sunday ,Madge's Weekly Top Shot.and Jill's Weekend Garden Party  See I told you everything was green, all taken in my backyard where it is really green.

Until next time.....

Letters On Friday

Dear Week, you have been busy, busy.  Began the patio project this week and it is almost complete...should be done by the end of the day today.  I LOVE IT!!  I found me a great guy for helping me with this project and he is sticking around to help me clean up and do some re-arranging in the back yard.  It's always a good thing when you find someone that is good and reasonable, trustworthy and shows up on time.

Dear Ladies Luncheon, you were so much fun and tasty. Since the theme of the event was teapots, I decorated a table with all of my Mary Englebreight teapots.  The food was yummy and the after lunch program was presented by an official laughologist, yep you read that correctly, a laugh - ologist...someone who specializes in laughter and it's benefits. She had us performing all sorts of laughing exercises.  Apparently laughing really improves your health.  Maybe that is why I have remained healthy most of my life...I usually laugh everyday, mostly at myself.



Dear Morton Arboretum...you give me such pleasure, especially at this time of the year with your acres of gorgeous trees and blooming spring flowers.




Dear Broken Pipe....I hope you don't cost too much to repair.  It's my own fault, I left the hose hooked up to the outside water faucet over winter which we are told each year to unhook your hoses and put away for the winter, but did I listen to those wise instructions....no.... and apparently it froze and has now decided to burst and cause water to start pouring down my basement walls.  Guess I won't forget that lesson next year.

Dear Dandelions....I love taking your picture, but I don't love you growing in my yard.  Would you please find somewhere else to grow, pretty please.  I promise I will continue to take your picture even if you are not growing in my yard.
