Welcome May!

i wanted to do some sort of post today welcoming may. i'm ready for
the may season of spring time and early summer to come! paige helped
me (not intending to) with a picture for this post. it cracks me up! :0p

Pink and Whimsical

i really don't see myself as being very "girly girl" but i do like pink!
if hubby would allow me i could definitely go all out shabby chic pinks
and whites. :0) now, how long i could actually LIVE with that look i'm
not so sure...but i am drawn to it.

i could definitely see these two pictures on my wall! these are definitely
in the running for future wall art. :0) i love the whimsical feel they
have to them which to me makes them fun!

A Princess

So, did you catch The Royal Wedding this morning? The few minutes
i was able to watch took me back to childhood......a little girl
who dreams of cinderella and becoming a princess someday.
I must admit it can leave one a little choked up.
And, wasn't Kate gorgeous?!!

It also reminded me of A Royal Duty that i need to pick back up
and finish reading....Paul Burrell starts the book off giving a very
fly on the wall account of what life was like as the favorite footman
to the Queen. Amazing! Where i need to pick back up is where he is
"hand-chosen as butler by the Princess of Wales", Diana.
After the wedding this morning, i'm very excited to dive back into
this book starting tonight.

Speaking of a princess....this past week, a sweet little girl who reminds
me of a princess gave me a flower during our photo session.
I told her i would take her flower home and place it in a vase to
continue enjoying. Along with her purple flower is a pink rose
my thoughtful hubby picked for me.
I love being able to enjoy things like this!

Sweet Molly....

.....recently gave us a good scare but i will assure you
she is feeling much better now. friday i had to take her to
the vet after some really bad signs that something was wrong....
i'll spare you all of the gorey details....

after an IV fluid/antibiotic treatment, surgery and lab
work it was determined that she had (and is recovering from) HGE.
HGE stands for Hemorrhagic GastroEnteritis. say that ten times!

i can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Thomas and his staff.
he is our local vet here in smiths grove. he stayed in touch wonderfully
and made sure we knew what was going on with our sweet molly every step
of the way while she was there.





i thought this was such a cute recent photo of molly...i had to share. :0)

Returning Herbs

i had a few herbs to return this year. they are my chives, thyme and tarragon. maybe it's just the norm for these herbs to return year after year...i really had no clue to what to expect. they make for great photo subjects. i especially love chives and how pretty they are with their purple blooms. as for the thyme i love how dainty they are....
