Easter Blessings Sweet Friends!

Happy Easter to You my precious Friend. Oh what a Blessing you are to me!

 I am so Thankful that Jesus loved us so much that He laid down His life for us so that we could go to Heaven to be with him one day. While celebrating His Resurrection today I thought of all of you and gave thanks to Him for having you in my life.

 Springtime is here at the North Forty. The pretty birds are singing and my flowers are blooming.
I know most of you are still snowed under so these flowers are for you until your snow melts.

I am still cleaning up from the hail storm a few weeks back but am so grateful the damage was minimum.

As you can see from this picture there are still leaves from the storm. I have mowed, raked and mowed some more but their still here.

My pink geraniums survived the winter.

As well as the pink petunia's.

It was fun having Easter Lunch in my newly painted dining room. I finally finished painting the window trim and just hung up some old lace curtains. Usually during the holidays I cover my table with a beautiful crochet table cloth my Aunt made for me years ago but the yellow walls called for color. I was hoping Christi would like this look.

Can't tell you how stressed I was cooking for the first time for her boyfriend Paul and his two darling kids. I loved meeting Audrey and Bryan today. They were a delight to be around and I hope this will be the first of many more holidays I share with them.

After endless hours of stressing over what to fix Christi and I decided on a Ham, Baked Beans, Scalloped Potatoes, Salad and a delicious sweet potato dish. Of course I had to have macaroni and cheese for the kiddos. My favorite part was the rolls and the yummy chocolate cake. ha ha

I hate I never slowed down while they were here to take pictures of them. What kind of blogger am I?

Yesterday they spent the day with his Mother on her 2000 acre ranch between Houston and Dallas. Can you imagine that many acres! I told Christi to propose to him. hahahaha

I kept Christi's dog Toby for her while they were there and I have to share a quick funny story with you.

Toby woke me about 6:30 this morning to potty. I thought surely I was safe taking him outside in my PJ's at that hour of the morning. Well you guessed it here comes the Cowboy out on a early morning ride.

I truly panicked! Is that a Word.

Of course the cowboy has caught me crawling through the upstairs window in my PJ's and dancing in the living room with them on but OMGosh I was totally not ready for this time with nothing but open spaces and nothing to hide behind but a few trees.

I saw him to late and he was upon me before I could made a wild dash for the front porch. There were two big oak trees that had a small opening and I managed to get behind them. He of course, knew what I was doing and even though I was praying that he would not stop he did.

Have you ever wanted to dig a hole and crawl in it. Toby was anxious because of the horse and I was horrified to be standing behind a tree in pj's and no bra. Not to mention the no make up and wild morning hair do. haha

Actually he thankfully realized how shockingly embarrassed I was so he wished me a Happy Easter and rode off.

I honestly don't think I remember a word I said to him. I was so busy trying to keep my arms up over my breast area which now that is a lot of area to hide. Then knowing I had no make up on I saw ever blade of grass on the ground. All the while Toby was doing his best to pull me out from behind the tree.

Thank goodness I don't own a dog and Tinkerbell uses a litter box. I may never go outside again for weeks. haha

I may also start sleeping in a bra.

Hope you had a Beautiful Easter and that your all doing well.

So good to visit with you and I hope to catch up with you on your site soon.

As always

Love to All

Maggie
