Easter blessings to all! Although I can't be with the grand kids today, I did get to talk to Emily, Patrick, and their parents earlier today. They were planning on taking a little day trip to a park for an egg hunt and a little picnic. It sounded like a perfect Easter day to me. They got the box of goodies that we sent last Friday, the kids were very happy with their gifts. Brad sent us pictures of them tearing into the box. I was glad that it got to them before Easter so they could have their gifts. I hope everyone that reads this has a great Easter and can take a minute to thank God for all things good in our lives!
The weather here in the Ozarks would not be good for any egg hunt. It has stormed off and on since last Wednesday. We've had several bad storms here with lots of rain, hail, thunder, and lightning. To date we've gotten around 8 inches of rain and it's still raining. At least it's a slow steady rain (right now) instead of storms. It was really storming last night, our electricity kept blinking off and on, finally at 9pm I just went to bed. Doyle and I took both cars into town earlier for gas and we have a nice little "stream" to go through on our county road. The rain and storms are suppose to continue through Wednesday. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if this system moved through the area a little sooner than they expect it to.
Tomorrow starts another work week and the end of another month. Hard to believe that May is upon us. We have onions and potatoes coming up in the garden. It will soon be time to get the tomatoes, peppers, and beans in. I'm actually going to try and freeze some tomato sauce this year. Normally we share our produce with Brad and Chely, but we won't be doing that this year. With groceries getting so expensive I need to take advantage of everything that we can produce ourselves. In the past we have let a lot go to waste, I'm vowing not to let that happen this year. I'll let ya know how that turns out!!!
