Spring, snow and an avalanche....

Still plenty of snow on the mountain tops and the tulips are blooming.  Lunch alfresco and lots of yard work going on. We tried to drive to our favorite campground and there is a rock/snow avalanche blocking the road...boo. The streams and rivers are next to overflowing and that is a good thing as the drought may be over.  You just can't beat springtime in the mountains.  We are 70's in the daytime and 30's at night...I call that perfect weather......happy Monday!

Mothers Day 2014

Mothers day was so great!  We celebrated a high school graduation, a birthday and Mothers Day.  Wonderful food, flowers and best of all family and friends!  I hope your day was wonderful too! Smoked chicken and brisket ( #2 son does a great job) and you can't go wrong with a chocolate fountain!

5K

Mr. Outdoors and I did a 5K with our family yesterday at Arrowhead stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs.  Such a great family time and good eats afterwards at Winstead's steak burgers.

Happy Mothers Day!

Granddaughter time....

Granddaughter Hannah and I were shopping for she and hubby's new apt.  New bedroom lamps and spoon rest and a china cabinet for all of her pretty dishes.  She actually could use a couple more china cabinet's for all the dishes she has...takes after her Grandma for sure! I don't have any pics yet of my purchases, a sweet lamp and cast iron bird dish...too cute. Have been in KC with her for the week and heading home today...such great times with my sweet girl.

Cupcake block.....

This sweet block I found on pinterest.....love the appliqué and embroidery!  Lots of yard work going on around here, we sure do need a rain.  Happy Saturday, i'm off in a bit

to have lunch with my sisters and niece.
