Have I mentioned I am NOT a fan of Daylight Savings Time? I HATE that it seems like the middle of the night at 7AM! I especially am not fond of it here as it seems to bring on the warmer weather and high humidity. Oh well, just a couple more months here. We’re 90% packed and waiting on the house. We are especially looking forward to having some “down” time to rest and recuperate, getting my strength and toning back before we move forward with our next and last project.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
Looks like it might be threatening to thunderstorm, but still to dark to really know for sure. It’s supposed to be right around 80 all week with a little higher humidity, but still more tolerable than July!

- YARD… just a little watering of the new things I planted to spruce up some barrels and pots for the house sale – my new Gardenias are starting to bloom and the lantanas gave me a surprise with a lavender and yellow mix – so pretty together – this also doubles as my FAVORITE PHOTO from the CAMERA

HEALTH & BEAUTY TIPS
HOMEMAKING/COOKING TIP
I’m not a fan of daylight savings time, either. I wish they’d just drop it and be done with it. Pretty flowers and love the picture of the Easter eggs. They’re beautiful! Have a great week ahead and Happy Spring! <3
I’m with you with the daylight savings making it so dark in the mornings! Ugh! I can’t even imagine 80 degrees right now…but totally living vicariously through your green growing things. I dream on digging in the dirt in the future!! 😉
Your latest dishes look so yummy – as always. 😉 And those tie dyed eggs turned out awesome!!
Have a blessed week ahead Tamy my Dear. xoxo
Love seeing those pretty spring flowers already blooming in your photos, so cheerful! Hope you have a wonderful week!
would love to see your list for a Purposeful Life. Thanks for sharing the list for healthy substitutions. Have a great week
