As I moved through Friday, people were asking each other "Got plans for the weekend?"  The answer was almost universal -- just gonna chill at home.  Sometimes that is best, just take some time to relax,  think about things, plant a tomato -- if the weather cooperates, eat a little, play a little, work a bit!  That's our agenda, too -- chill at home.    The last couple of weeks have been frantically busy, so a little peace and quiet has been wonderful!  Wheels has the flag ready, but between the high winds and the intermittent rain, it's standing at attention in the foyer.  Thanks for stopping by to link on Busy Monday!

I was so excited yesterday when I stopped by a little market on the "other side of town".  They had just gotten a shipment of garden flowers and the plants were huge!  Best of all, the price was the same as for the little bitty ones I've been buying from the seasonal nursery down the way.  I found several on my butterfly support list and filled the trunk of the car.  Can't wait to get them in the ground!   Thanks for stopping by to plant your fabulous ideas, projects and posts on Busy Monday!

Finally had a sunny day to get some plants in the ground!  Yay!  Just got back from shopping in the Bigger Town -- found a smaller pair of jeans that fit so good!  Had a great dinner with good company and got to hug neice, Lily Bug,  and nephew, Nate the Great, and their mommies.  Bytes gifted me with a great set of knives -- for which I paid a penny as is customary for a sharp gift -- and wished me Happy Mother's Day.  And now you've stopped by to share your great posts.  Thank you!  May your weekend have a pinch of joy, too!

I have flowers in the garage just waiting to go in the big planter between the garage doors.   Our rock walls are orangey red and gold so I chose 5 containers of Million Bells in those colors.  And then got home and realized I need another bag of potting soil to properly top off the planter.   But the gorgeous blooms are just outside the back door in their little pots awaiting their moment in the sun. A symbol of hope!   I'm over the moon excited that this forever long winter may actually be over!  Thanks for bringing your beautiful posts and awesome ideas to Busy Monday!

We visited a part of this 77,347 square mile state that we had not seen before this week.  Yet everyone who settled in the western part of the United States in the 1800's knew about it and thousands looked for the landmarks on their trek west.   Chimney Rock was visible for almost 100 miles on the Plains and is still spectacular even though it has eroded considerably.   Scott's Bluff meant the travelers were nearing the mountains and things were about to get a whole lot more interesting.  Short Stuff was our traveling companion as we took the easy drive to the top of the Bluff.  He was very impressed:  "I can't believe I'm driving right into this rock" and "I can see the whole world up here".     He learned new words, too -- like bovine.  He walked up to  life size representations of ...
