Critter Saturday-A Special Guest

A few weeks ago we had a special wedding with a special guest.
Sharing a few precious moments today 

 He even nickered agreement when the vows were said.  He doesn't live here where the wedding was.  One of her students brought him from where he lives now at the barn where she teaches lessons.

 A precious moment

Of course a shot of a few of the girls from the barn and theirs boots

Look they even have on dresses!

A precious moment saying Good Bye for a week!

One last shot.  The professional photographer wasn't able to stay for the entire evening.  His daughter took over.  

She did an amazing job too!

It was a day full of sweet and precious moments!

I hope you enjoyed seeing our special guest Cowboy.

Yes his name is Cowboy!

Welcome to Happy Homemaker.  

The post where I share a few plans for the week ahead.  

And a little this and that. 

I link with Sandra.  She provides the prompts

I add a few of my own 

The Weather

I keep repeating myself.   Spring Time in Texas is gorgeous.

Sometimes it gets a little hot in the late afternoon but it doesn't last long.   I love the Spring weather.  Lots to do outside!

Right Now 

I am listening to Domino lick her bowl.  She loves poached eggs in the morning!

On My Reading Pile

On The Kindle.  Reading now

    

These are all Cozy Mysteries on The Great Escapes Tours.

And another I will read for fun when I get a chance

I haven't read a Janet Dailey book in forever.  They used to be my favorites. 

And waitin' on this one.  I ordered on Amazon for our trip planning.
Can't wait to read this one and make some plans. 

I wanted this one but it was $75.00!

I have a client who has one.  I'll have to borrow hers. LOL!

In The Kitchen 

Still planning the menu but I now I want to make Chili Rellenos 
this week.  Just have a hankerin' for some!

On The Menu
It looks like a busy week ahead.  Gotta get with The Cowboy 
tonight or tomorrow to look at schedules and decide on a menu.

It Was Precious To Me
When I asked Donimo to shake my hand and she kept licking my nose instead. I kept saying 'I didn't ask for a kiss.'  And then she would kiss me again.   Finally after 5 tries she raised her paw.  She is a bit stubborn.  

In The Craft Basket

I wish this was in the Craft Basket.  Just stumbled onto it on Pinterest!  I love this! And I would make it in red!  Click here to get the pattern.

On The To Do List

Almost done cleaning up my Pinterest Boards
I am re-arranging my craft room.  I had a new idea about that so it is still a work in progress

My Ta Da Moment

Not a huge deal but I got the big shelf in my sewing room cleaned off and ready to move out.  My space is coming together sort of.  
My desk and table and new shelves and the hutch are a mess with everything sitting in temporary homes until I get it all sorted and 
straightened out.

This sound yummy.  A different kind of Pot Roast for me.
The Bearded Hiker calls it Alabama Pot Roast.  Click here. 

A worthy read for parents of any age.  Donna Reidland shares some Biblical insight into a great topic.  Click here to read the post.

Flower Friday A Walk In The Garden

Welcome to the garden.  Everything is blooming and growing. 
Today we will take a short walk and see a few successes and some failures.  
 I am Thankful I have a garden.  So I wanted to share it with you.
And I am Thankful God gave us flowers and plants.  Aren't you?

This is the second planting of Sunflowers over by one of the 

tomato patches.  This planting has grown much faster than the 

first.  This area gets much more sun. 

This is the first planting.  Already pretty tall.  But they are much 

older.  I planted another row in front.  They are 2"s now.  

I meant for this to be a Sunflower house.  Still makes a good hiding place.  We'll add a pallet to the right side and stand it up for a wall.

 I planted 3 sides.  The side on the right no Sunflowers sprouted.  I also planted Green Beans on the right and left.  I got 1 plant on each side.  Not sure if it was my seeds or the fact that the week after I planted the mower ran over them.  Hence the addition of the little twig border.

  

A tiny Crepe Myrtle grew up on its own.  Yes they will reseed. 

I had another one earlier I tried to transplant but it did not survive.
Totally my fault I think.  I dug it up and stuck in an empty pot and forgot about it!  I think I'll leave this one be.  For awhile anyway.

Growing around the CP is Basil you can barely see its round leaves next to the weed!

On the right is the first blooming Nasturtium.  I planted 3 seed packets.  I have a lot spreed around the garden.  It is planted in a pot in the pallet garden. 

This area was pretty much a failure.  I started this bed earlier and then didn't get to work it like I wanted.  I planted 3 short rows of Corn mixed with Green Beans between 2 rows.  One Corn sprouted. I had a couple problems with this area it was still covered in gravel. And Now there is a huge ant bed on the edge by the Corn.  I was pretty happy that at least one stalk sprouted.  Fairly good for a beginner!  I am learning!  I know now what to do different next year.

 

I am very happy with the Zinnia bed.  I wanted a  mass planting. 

I got about half what I intended.  But they are still pretty. 

The pic will show the length of the bed and the other flowers.

The Zinnia's are in the back corner and spread to the left and are 

interspersed amidst the herbs.  

The bed will eventually run the length of the garden to the pallet area.  Right now it ends just before the vertical planting area and the 2nd section  of Tomatoes.    I will share another shot in a few days it looks so much better now.  Beyond the Zinnia's are the Pansy's and bulbs. The bulbs are all done for now and the Pansy's are struggling. The Zinnia's actually would do better on the other end of the bed and I might add a bigger area and do a corner down there next year.  This corner is closer to the tree and gets alot of shade.  If I move the Pansy's, Snapdragons and bulbs they will do better and the Pansy's and Snapdragons will last longer. 

And one last shot.  My pumpkin plants.  I did not intend to plant them in a pot.  It just happened.  These seeds are from a pumpkin 

The Cowboy bought after Halloween.  I left it in the garden to seed.

But I moved it and set in the pot until I got the garden ready.  Well

this is what happened!  I still plan to try and put some of the seeds

in the ground.  

Thanks for visiting and taking a short walk with me.  Next time

I'll show you my butterfly bush and a few more flowers.

• Family secrets could get in the way of a second chance at love
  
  After her husband dies, Rose longs to be near her family—especially her twin sister, Lillian—so she packs up her young son and leaves their life in Ohio to move back to Paradise, Pennsylvania.
  
  Luke Miller is ready to settle down in Paradise. He soon forms a partnership with Rose to help farm her land. He finds that he's enjoying the company of the quiet, modest widow and she may be just the woman he's been waiting for. But is Rose hiding a secret beneath her reserved exterior—one that could keep her from having a future with Luke?
  
  And Rose isn't the only one concealing something. Luke has a secret of his own, and it could threaten their partnership—and their chance at love.

And I thought

Another great Amish story by Barbara Cameron

Buried Secrets is book 2 in the Harvest of Hope Series.

I read and reviewed book 1 (click here to read my review) I 

was glad to receive the offer to continue with this series.

Ms. Cameron weaves together a story/plot that keeps the reader happily engaged all the way to the end.  And then 

some.  You'll probably be a little sad to turn the last page.

I almost wished that happy ending ended with an epilogue.

This is one that the cover gives you some secrets into the 

story.  I loved the Cardinals presence in the story. 

If your a fan of Amish stories check out this series.  

I received a complimentary copy.

This review will appear on retail sites.

This review will appear on Good Reads.

The book  is available
