These little bright yellow flowers are from our yard.  I discovered them when I was working outside trying to prune some bushes.

Unfortunately, the pruning shears were too small and not very sharp so I didn't get too far.  I have ordered a new pair that are larger...they should be here today sometime.

In the meantime, I am going to use a saw on the overgrown lilac bush that only had one blossom last year and very few leaves.  Once I make the cuts I want to feed it.  Maybe it will produce at least a few more leaves, if not blossoms.  If not, we may have to remove it.

Today I also want to clean up the patio area.  The pruning will have to wait until the new shears arrive.  While working in the backyard, I also saw these poking up their heads...

I think these are more purple and yellow flowers but am not sure.  Guess I need to wait to see.

If the pruning shears don't get here until late in the day, I will probably spend a few minutes cleaning out SnowWhite.  She's kind of messy right now but she is legal and has had her oil change!

It was so warm yesterday (in the mid 70's) that I felt like a eating a light supper so I made salads.  A regular lettuce, carrot, celery, etc. salad with sweet vidalia onion dressing.  A simple potato salad with only potatoes, onions, mayo and salt and pepper.  An egg salad with only eggs, onions and mayo.  Finally, we had a left-over imitation crab salad from a couple days ago.  A refreshingly different meal from the winter type fare we have been eating.

How are you doing with the time change?  I haven't gotten accustomed to it yet.  As a result, I'm not getting to my exercises as fast as before the time change.  Not sure why, but it is a bit frustrating.  I wish they would pick one time and go with it.

It's already in the mid 40's today going to, again, the mid 70's.  But it's cloudy.  There is rain in the forecast but not until close to midnight so I may be able to work outside for quite a while.

I did manage to make a few craft things for my junk journals.  While watching an episode of 'Treasure Books' (a video blog on junk journaling) on mass making journal elements, I made several of two types of elements.  

I hope you are all able to enjoy the warm weather. By the way, all the snow for the area is gone...even the small piles in the street! 

Talk with you tomorrow...
