Cheap seeds are out at the places like Dollar General I think it is like 3 pkgs for $1.50? Nothing fancy just good enough.
I hope all the tornadoes that went through the country missed everyone. We are used to dodging them but I know some of those areas don't seem to be.
My daffodils are up and at it. The Forsythia /scrambled eggs bushes are blooming. Not very well considering the hard hard summer last year and the extreme subfreezing temps we had a little while this winter but they are still alive.
All the pear trees fruit producing and otherwise are in full bloom and looking wonderful.
The trees in general are in bud and spitting out some baby leaves.
It is time for those with energy to start the gardens and probably way past time for the plants to be started. My energy level is zip so I will provide for those in the family with the energy to do the job and cut some of their costs.
The grass is growing and we have already had to mow the yard once.
We have had a little rain come in the last few weeks thank goodness to fill these new expensive ponds we had made. It alternates with rain then some warmer 80* temps and then some cooler temps then back to the rain and warm again. Typical spring weather.
We are so thankful for the rains and warmer temps. The cows have been chasing grass for a while now looking for pasture eats. We feed but cows like to graze and they have to have something to graze on. At least now the grass is getting green everywhere and although it is short in most places with these temps and rain soon the cows won't have to look for the grass that hasn't been chewed down.
Just got back from feeding cows and saw two pink wild peach tree's blooming! These are found on fence lines and got planted there by the birds dropping peach pits at some time.It is a muddy mess for sure out there in the pastures trying to feed. I gave up on one place and just told hubby he better drive before I get us stuck. I am not a good mudder in this old truck. He did some spinning around but we got where we needed to be and didn't have to walk for the tractor which is always a good thing. LOL
My garlic that was still in the ground from last year is up and at it at least a foot high. Figure I better pull them up and replant this year somewhere else. My poor pansies have been so neglected! They are happy with the rain also and now I have to dig out some weeds from them in the flower bed.
Our spring geese are back at the east pond in front of the house. That is always something nice to see, you can always count on them.
Well hope folks are finding something enjoyable in the spring weather I figure it is time to go now.

Falling into Place
You know how some things fall into place? Like it is supposed to be or happen? I got one of those things going on right now. I have no clue why just that it is. It doesn't even have ANYTHING to do with anything I normally do! It's like where the heck did that come from?!
What I have going on is a metal art project. I know, see........ What the heck do I have to do with either one of those things? Well ... anyway a few months ago I had a idea more like a image put in my head. It will not go away no matter what. In other words I am supposed to do it. Why? I have no clue.
I finally decided to talk to a man in town that is well to do and does art on the side for his fun I guess. Thought maybe he would have a clue where or how to get this done. Now here it is Sunday morning and a neighbor I have not seen in years comes to my door looking for our helper. Get to visiting and find out he is doing artwork on the side. He is disabled and can't do regular work so I guess he has started doing this. I talked to him about it some without giving the whole idea away. Still he isn't the right person because this is going to have to be displayed somewhere BIG with lots of folks to see it. (It is something I just know) . I told him if he starts getting the right contacts then we can talk some more about it.
I don't know if there is any money in it but I do know it is supposed to be done.
I will still try to talk to the man in town and see where that leads me. Now that I have planted a seed or two it will be interesting to see where this starts to go. Maybe it was just supposed to be something for Oklahoma to have on display. Maybe it is something this neighbor is supposed to do. I guess it will all fall in place eventually. Sometimes it is just neat to sit back and watch something like this happen.
