the front door in spring



I took these pictures Tuesday morning
after a nice rain and before I packed away the Easter decorations.



the watering can belonged to Jeff's granddad

I planted the knockout roses last summer.
They are really blooming and smell so good,
but I am not sure why they are not getting much taller
and I am really wondering why the red one seems to be
a ground crawler.

This rose bush was planted by the Dawes,
the previous owners of our home.

hmmm, and something cute

this is what I found one morning


I know who ate a big helping of goldfish, then left this single goldfish cracker in the cannister, put the lid on it and put it back in the pantry. 
Yep, I know who did it, but it could of easily been several other men in this family and they have done similar things on  different days.
Does your family do this too? 

Elizabeth checking out the bottles her momma is going to use for a craft project.
They are Starbucks coffee drinks,  nobody here drinks this,  but Nina found a few people who do drink and they saved the bottles for her.

Aren't they cute bottles?
They remind me of the bottles that milk was served in
when I was in elementary school.
