I realized this is the last week of April and I thought I'd better do some blogging! I hope to get to my blog buddies posts tonight too. I'm happy to report that Jordan and I are healed up and putting this crazy month behind us! So that's a good ending and then we have a real beginning....My Granddaughter, Driana, was due to deliver our first great grandchild in May but he decided to make an appearance last week! Little Roman James was born April 22nd at 9:02am, weighing 8lbs even. It was a difficult labor and delivery, and she ended up with a broken tailbone and a bladder issue. Roman had to go to the NICU for a few days with breathing problems but thankfully Momma and baby were able to go home Saturday.
Lots of dark hair! We'll see if that stays or turns blonde like Mom and Dad! I'll look forward to getting to see him, but we'll let them get lots of rest and recoup first! The rest of our time has been spent getting the yardwork done and ready for planting of flowers and veggies in a few weeks. We've had some pretty chilly nights with frost, so I usually wait until after Mother's day to plant flowers and then we usually do the vegetables near Memorial day. However, we went to our favorite Amish plant nursery to get some raspberry plants, and I couldn't resist just one hanging basket!
All their flowers and plants were so nice, but I'll get more in a few weeks. Just can't walk out of there without something though! I still have strawberry jam from last year to use up before putting more up this June and I made a blueberry pie from the last of our frozen berries from our bushes.
It looked much prettier before I cut into it but it tasted delicious anyway! Speaking of the Amish...Jack had taken our big weed whacker to get the leaking gas tank fixed from an Amish gentleman that fixes all kinds of machinery. We pulled into his place and besides tons of mowers and such, there were many of his children doing chores or helping him. While I waited one of the kids came out of the barn to check on his little sister who was playing. I snapped a pic that I thought was so cute of them.
He was so sweet with her! He picked her up and carried her to the house as we were leaving. Just made me smile! Well, I hope your April has been good and I can't believe we're heading into May! Our weather has gone from 30 degrees to 80 and back down again. We've also had those famous April showers and the flowering trees and bushes have not disappointed us!
