Yes,  I have been MIA for a while.  I've just been so busy with so many  things.  I know a few followers, namely family members, will enjoy not  looking at the Easter picture anymore. LOL. Today though, I didn't  really work on anything that was too pressing.  We have actually had a  string of days that have been beautiful, and no rain.  My husband has  been working overtime to get all the crops planted.  We are very far  behind up here because of wet spring.  I brought the kids swimming at  Heather's today and they had a blast!  They are already asking when they  can go back.  Peonies are just starting bloom so I picked this bunch  for my kitchen table.  They smell so good! My dark pink bushes will be  blooming when the white ones are done. I just want to apologize for  being away for so long and thanks for sticking around.  I can't say I'll  be around an awful lot to post, but I'll try.
