Written by Sue, Wednesday, April 30, 2014 rain, thunderstorms, and tornado watches, temps. 80's
April started off with much chores to be done, when you have a big day ahead of you, a big country breakfast is a must! I love herbs and have grown them for years, replenishing the herb garden was on our to do list this year, and of course beautiful colorful flowers were on the list too! Our asparagus began producing, and is still enjoyed.

In the second week of April, I began to think of spring decorating, so out came the rabbits, I took early morning walks, saw spring coming forth with new life! The eggs were laid by a sand fiddler in the walkway, so much for sand. The dandelion in both stages, flower and seed, Do you like to pick dandelions and blow the seed away, I do! I found the blueberry bushes full of bees!

Moving right along..Sometimes Mr P. will let the sheep graze the front lawn, I love to watch them, we have had an abundance of rain this April, my ferns are thriving on the porch, and of course after a long day of digging, we eat another hardy meal, our dear Lucy makes the best Shepherdess, she is so gentle, but firm in herding them.
The previous photos led up to a week ending in celebration of a most Holy Day, that is Resurrection Sunday, which was a time of remembrance of this most Blessed Day, family fellowship and lunch at My Mom's. Do you ever go outside the norm, we did My mother usually sets her table with her fine china, and silver, this Easter we all voted to go casual, to finish cleanup in a hurry, to be able to spend longer fellowship time together, as some had to leave early to go back home. Being the matriarch she usually prays blessings for the food and for her family!
Now Dear Friends, I will close this most beautiful and anticipated month with the first roses of the year, which were gathered this morning from the rose garden just for you, and especially for our hostess, Cheryl !
I wanted to post today but told Cheryl that I might not be able too, but would try,I have committed myself to two memes a month, Gathering the Moments, and Vee's Notecard party, one of the things you might not know about me is, I am very loyal, and when I commit I try if at all possible to fulfill my commitment! Blame that on my upbringing. ~smile~ Plus I just adore these two ladies and their parties. My reasons for thinking about not posting were, number one being, I am so busy, and I actually didn't think I had taken enough photos in April, but after going through IPhoto , I found I had more than what I thought and did not want to miss the opportunity of being able to look back!
May your "MAY DAYS" be filled with many blessings,
Sue
Thank you Cheryl for hosting "Gathering the Moments", and for being so gracious!
