Welcome to this week’s Share Your Style #422, y’all! I’m sorry… I planned on having SYS last evening; however, my MIL had an A-fibrillation episode. So… we went to the hospital. She is all good and the doctors checked her for all-things-heart, but they didn’t find anything. With that, SYS is going up tonight. Let’s jump in!

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 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…

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. 🙂
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Share Your Style #416!   I hope you all are having a warm spell where you live. We have been blessed with a mid-winter warm-up and tomorrow makes Day 4 of low 70 degree temps here in North Texas. Sooooo appreciated! Many people were walking the Southlakes Park yesterday around 5:00p.m. as I was driving home from work. I am predicting an early spring, how about you?? Hopefully, Punxsutawney Phill will not see his shadow this Friday… 😉
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!💜
Nothing new for me this week on the blog. I did spend a good five to six hours outside on Sunday potting up the last of the spring bulbs into pots and a few in the ground. I planted the pansies, which had been stored in the garage until the big freeze was passed.I hope to have a really pretty show of tulips and daffodils this year!
I have a partial tray of mesclun lettuce started, too, as the paper packet got wet. The baby lettuces seeds had already germinated; now little baby leaves are already popping up. Good thing! We have to grow lettuce early here in Texas before it gets too hot (mid-late May).
Well, let’s check out what all you have this week… 🙂
