Yes, today I go back to working one job, hallelujia! And how did I celebrate? First, Earl and I hit a couple garage sales before work. I picked up a gorgeous book for $1 full of bright photos like the one above. Oh sweet spring! 
You can find copies of this book on Amazon for as little as 36 cents! After work we went to a nearby small town and brought back our spring chicks. I am so excited. We got some really beautiful breeds and I'll have a small flock to give us big brown eggs (and some green and blue!) and scratch bugs in the cottage garden. It was a beautiful sunshiney day and tomorrow is slated to be even warmer:>) Ahhhh, it feels so good to be back home. I have lots of great things to share and I look forward to getting back to my sewing machine. Oh yes, spring makes me happy, no doubt about it. Being HOME makes me happy:>) What makes you happy?
Sounds like you had a great day! Being home, having my friends and family healthy, sunshine, talking on the phone to my 2 year old niece and finishing a project I started all make me happy.

Oh, I hope we get to see the sweet little chickies in photos soon! How cool!
ReplyDeleteYay! Sounds like you really enjoyed your day. Chicks, sigh, I wish we could have them here too. The best part of missing home is then being home. I think being home makes me happy too.

Yeah! Glad you are back to just one job. I have missed you! Spring makes me very happy too. I love the way the air smells. I love not having to put a winter coat on. Don't you just feel lighter in the spring?

ReplyDeleteWoo hoo!! I'm sure you're so happy to have a bit more free time now. I've missed seeing your sewing creations!
ReplyDeleteChicks how exciting! I hope we get to see a picture of them. Have you had chickens before?
That picture is just full of spring scrumptuousness! What a great book if it's filled with such prettiness!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Were you at the farm and Garden store in Ortonville. Gary and I were at the one in Lapeer and saw the cute chicks and ducks.Almost bought some of the ducks but we didn't. Glad to hear that it sounds as if things are quieting down for you.
ReplyDeleteKathy! Great finds, and it sounds like the perfect spring morning! I wanted to tell you I featured that beautiful apron you sent this week on my blog today! I love it and I'm so happy with it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend!

Being home makes me happy unless I have to clean...lol
ReplyDeleteWe hatched chicks at the library where I work too. I have no idea what kind they were but they got big real fast. They went on to the farm but your babies look adorable.
I'm so happy for you ...now you will be able to spend a little more time enjoying the things you love ...family, friends, home and crafting!
ReplyDeleteLOVED those little chickies! They are adorable! The chairs are very promising and I can't wait to see what you do with them. You always seem to find the best sales I swear! Enjoy the free time and the sunshine. Love ya, Jan
