Goings On,Through My Back Door

Good rainy evening. It is a slow steady rain, the kind you needed to have your baskets and wood buckets, churns, etc setting out in. I am so excited about the warm days of spring. Are you? I have been looking at pictures of gardens on FB,(not that I am a gardener) but I love seeing the beautiful yards, flowers, yard art, etc. I cannot wait until I can have some geraniums and hanging baskets. This is just a nice spring rain.I need to catch one like this and put my baskets out as well as my cedar churn. Sometimes I put the churn in the shower. It drys out so bad and the bottom comes out. I am so sorry I forgot to get your coffee. You have been visiting so long I feel like you should just help yourself.lol
Amanda took some new pictures of my greats. Andrew and I are going to make Easter cookies. He asked me if I had an Easter egg cookie cutter and I don't. I must find one. I just had to share these.

This little guy is the sweetest little fellow. He just is so good to his little sister and wants everyone happy. He is playing Upward Basketball and loves it.I was so concerned about him starting school. I wanted him to have a teacher who would appreciate his uniqueness. I prayed hard about it(I think I worried more about it than his mama). Well God certainly answered that prayer. He got the most precious teacher and of course he loves Mrs Schumaker.
Today I changed the door box again. I just wasn't happy with it, so I went to the barn and found this, stuck it in there and was so happpy with the simplicity.

With Easter on the horizon I have been thinking a lot about my parents and grandparents. do holidays make you do that? Well as a Christian I love Easter and the ressurection and the fulfillment of the plan of Salvation. However, I get a bit apprehensive around Easter. You see my Mother, Daddy, both grandmothers and my father in law all died at Easter. So you can see why I get that way. I think Easter gives us a renewed look on life. Offers hope. Anyway I thought I would share the last quilt my Mother made.

She loved color. The others were made by she and my grandmother.

I love this one. I have several more in the corner cupboard.

All of these were made by them with the exception of the coverlets. I will say they are a comfort and I have a couple I will use for a throw if it is cold.
I played cards with my card group tonight and we had a good time. We have been playing as you know for 30 years. Tonight we were talking about all we had been through together. Marriages, divorces, babies, grandbabies, sicknesses, deaths of parents, and childrens marriages. We have watched those babies grow up and finish college. There is nothing like good friends and I have truly been blessed in that area. I am thankful.
I thought I would share with you a friends kitchen make over. I just love it. She has the knack of making everything look wonderful. I just realized I don't have before  pictures,just the after.lol I love it.

Isn't that stove to die for? I love this and wanted to share this beautiful kitchen.
Well I am so happy you came Through My Back Door where life is good.
