O My Happy Heart...









Nothing could make my day more ~ than coming home, this morning - from bringing the boys to school and after picking up some paint, stain and brushes for another project... The river is now open. There were mallard ducks swimming and geese waddling and it sounded so beautiful with the birds...it was heaven. I am truly a spring/summer girl. This last heavy, wet snowfall had pretty much done me in. It is the prettiest site to have snow on the ground and a moving and tranquil river in front of your home and business. I couldn't be more blessed. My children were squealing with excitement. We feed the ducks and geese for our own pleasure as well as for the customers! Is is usually at the break of the month of May...that we will see the two Trumpeting Swans...they hang out, have their babies and move on.


I bet you thought you were going to see the end results of the projects I had been working on for the shop and booths...well, surprise. This took precedence...and I haven't finished them, yet! ha! It is a tough call when I also work 'at home' with my ' Life Books job'... at which pleasure will get the attention for the weekend! Don't give up on me, though...check back in around mid-week! For now...simply enjoy my slice of Heaven with me...on the river!

Isn't that just so pretty. And to have that right there...I would never get anything done :)

Yesterday, there was two wild turkeys in my yard, about 50 ft. from me...so neat. And over-head flew a flock of geese.

I love living in the country, but would love to have a creek going through my yard.

Spring is an amazing time, so much beauty all around.

Have a perfect weekend.

Thank you, Tonya! It is pretty...the ducks and geese are 'shiny objects' that certainly do distract me! LOL My husband is heading down you way in a couple weeks to actually turkey hunt! yikes! You probably do not care to hear that! LOL I hope you had a perfect weekend, too! ;0)Karen
