Corn-fused..therefore I observe

I've been more of an observer of many blogs than a writer of my own blog.. and it shows.    I feel like a kid in a candy shop-so many kinds of candy, 50,000 different flavors, just way too much to choose from!   I'm speaking of blogs and all the things like contests, free giveaways, memes (did I spell that right?) ... I feel like I'm trying to paddle around on a tiny raft way out in the ocean.  Blogs are like cities...and if you like to go blog-hopping ...like I did the other day... I felt like I was lost.   So.....what to do?

My thoughts are just a jumble this afternoon...I feel flustered.   I'm not sure why.   Maybe its my age.  I'm gettin' up thar.   Some days it feels like it.   

The other day at work, I had my kids to play a puzzle game.  I thought it would be fun for them to go around to different tables to try and find the missing pieces.   And some thought it was an interesting game...one student said she found it "positively nauseating".  Really.  Well.   Another student said, she liked it.   Okay, well we may not play it in the near future... but I will have them to work on other games.  Like math and spelling.   I think at times 8 year old's can be tough age to teach.   It seems they are just full of themselves.  Other times they are full of joy.  And expressions of humor.  

Speaking of work...I must get back to it...have a good day.   

Button, button, where's MY button?

I'm not really sure what's going on...am I mentally button challenged?   Button blockage?  Button-Itis?    Maybe its a good thing not to answer myself.   I did it before without any hassle.  WHEN nobody seemed interested in my Amethyst Garden Blog.  It doesn't matter.   I'm not going to wonder or worry over a stupid button.   If you haven't found my blog yet...its not because you can't "grab my button"...it will be reasons like..."she never posts anything special"... or "she never gives anything away"...   I could I give away something.... but what?... my house?   Oh- that would give me tons of readers!   We won't go there.    I've been doing some thinking here lately... and if for some reason I don't get many followers..its because of the lack of words to read on my blog..that's got  to be it.   Plus......plus... its too early in the morning for such silly blabbing...I mean blogging.   If you don't want to read or follow I understand.   I mean, I may hang up this blogging business.   And for some it is a business.  Which is fine and dandy.  I even thought about that myself... oh well...

Nature

Hello

Everywhere I look, there's a tree bursting with colorful buds and flowers.  I just love Spring!  This weekend worked on getting the weeds under control.  And cut the grass.   Planted some flowers, I hope we won't see any more freezing weather.

Psalm 74:16-17

Thine is the day, O God,
thine also the night;
thou hast established the moon and the sun.

Thou hast fixed
all the boundaries of the earth;
thou hast made the summer
and winter.

We have a pair of sparrows that have decided to build their nest in one of our old birdhouses.  

Today the weather is just wonderful.  All week we're supposed to see lovely days.  Works for me.

Have a great day!

Our way home...

Stuffy Head

It's that pollen time of year when my head gets stuffy, runny nose...well, you get the picture.  I just loved seeing all the trees in full bloom down in the mid-south.  The flowers were gorgeous..as you can see by the pics I posted... however...I tend to forget about the allergies that go with all the surrounding beauty.    Now that we are home, just a few days now...I've been so tired.   Can't seem to catch up on my sleep.   Doesn't take long and I'm zonked.   Didn't want you all to think I gave up on my blog...  no, just trying to catch up on my zzzzzzzzzzz.

The Old Mill

Just thought I would share some pictures from our latest trip to the South.

 Isn't this lovely? 

 Not sure what kind of flowers these are..but they are beautiful.
