{ Friday Foto Friends }

 I'm worn out, Y'all, after working outside all week long. It's been a glorious week....well, except for the pollen. East Tennessee is covered in a layer of greenish yellow and we're all breathing it in. Did you see the pic I posted on Facebook and Instagram of the young man covered in pollen with a grin on his face? That totally sums up living here right now, but I can't imagine living anywhere else - well, maybe somewhere on a hill with a view....but I'm totally digressing. I guess you might want an explanation of the foto I'm sharing.

I'm loving my new swing and it's where I've sat to take a break this week from doing yardwork. Yesterday, just about as soon as I sat down this bluebird landed in the dogwood tree above me. Now, that's not odd, right? But, the thing is I don't see a lot of bluebirds in our yard. Secondly, yesterday was my Daddy's 95th birthday....and thirdly, he loved little bluebirds. I remember when I was very young, he had bluebird boxes in the back yard. I think I'm gonna have to ask my brother to build me one so that I can have them living in my backyard, too!




  We have storms predicted for our neck of the woods today, but we do need the rain. I'm kinda glad because I need a break - this old gal's bones and muscles are hurting!

HOPE everybody has a great weekend!

{ Friday Foto Friends #127 }



First of all, I can't believe I haven't posted anything at all since last Friday. I meant to, honestly, I did. I'm not sure where the time gets to these days. It can't have anything to do with my age.....
can it?!?!?

And, secondly.....
what in the world is going on with the weather? I know, I know, I said I wouldn't talk about it anymore, but seriously?!?!?  I know we're not in charge and we have absolutely no control over it and I have no doubt that God knows what He's doing, but this is April and we've seen SNOW this week. That just doesn't happen in this neck of the woods, Y'all!  But HOPEfully after the freezing temps from last night there's gonna be a warming trend. 

In spite of the cold weather, just take a look at this gorgeous dogwood in my Momma's yard that I snapped a pic of yesterday afternoon.....





And did you notice those blue skies?

Just heavenly!

HOPE everybody has a wonderful weekend in your part of the world!
