Share Your Style #421

Welcome, friends, to this week’s Share Your Style #421! Spring is in the air in North Texas and gardening is on-full at my house. If you haven’t seen my post from many of our bloggy friends and myself ~ sharing beautiful containers planted up for the season ~ the link is in here this week. Also, with Easter just a couple of days away, we have so many wonderful Easter decorating ideas to share!

I am Barbara Chapman and I’d love it if you’d follow me here on my blog and on any of my other social media sites, too.  Thank you!💜

Here’s what I shared this past week at French Ethereal…

Welcome 2024 with Spring Blooming Containers + Garden Tour ~ You’ll love all the gorgeous potted plants everyone in this Pinterest Challenge shares!

I am sooo glad you stopped by today! I know the party is up really late this week, but every other week at school I move around 300 pounds of books a day. This was that week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We had today off in our school district, Good Friday, since we had no snow days this school year ~ a day to rest and recover. And, for everyone who believes in the Good News of the Cross, this is a day of remembrance of what our Lord and Savior did this day at Calvary…

I’m glad you are here, my friend!

So cute!!! Debra from Gma’s Photo shared her baby calves from her family’s farm in this photo
journal post ~ Calves Part 2. Don’t you just love cows?? Cattle, really, but I still call them all cows.

Funny story here as we close our day, when I used to ride the bus home from school during high school, there was a cow which lived up the hill from our house at our neighbors’ home. I would pull up handfuls of long grass to give her as a treat before walking down the hill to our home. As I watched her happily munching this grass and also watching her new baby calf each year, I loved her quiet gentle ways.

One day, she gave me a kiss: a big wet lick on the cheek! Did you know cows have tongues like cats, with large grooves in them for picking up water?? That kiss about sandpapered my face off, lol! ;)’

She was a sweetheart and I still think of her today…

Thank You so much to everyone who linked up this past week. A special thank you to everyone for always promoting Share Your Style on your blog and on your social media channels! I do see it when I stop by and I appreciate the love. 💜

Blessing to you and your families this Easter and always,

An update on 4/4/24:

*** p.s. I forgot to add into this post that I am keeping this party open until next Monday, April 8th. Come on by and link up! And if you are in the path of the solar eclipse, I hope you get to see it!!! Denton, Texas is supposed to be right in the thick of it, but weather is coming in…

I did see a solar eclipse back when I was a kid in Hawaii. We took shoe boxes with a lid punched through with a pencil, I think. The sunlight came through the hole in the top of the box and then we could follow the pathway of the moon as it crossed the sun. Super easy to make and you didn’t need special sunglasses. 🙂

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

  1. Thank you lots for including my Puddle Ducks Diner in your features this week…..have a blessed Easter…..hugs!

  2. Barb, what a great memory of the cow who kissed you!😊

    I enjoyed yours and all the posts on container gardening but, honestly, except for just nurturing a few each year, I find that method much more tedious than perennial plantings – so much babysitting, unless one has a drip system (which I haven’t tackled).

    Thsnk yiu for taking time to still host us, and I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend.

  3. I just adore your cow story! Have a beautiful Easter, Barb! I have a feeling I’ll be spending time going through some of these features and links today. Thanks for including mine!
