Baby girl



This is the pretty baby girl in the Easter outfit Grandma got her sitting in the her new chair. Mama had gotten her a little purple purse and it had this makeup in it. She used it all up, putting it all over herself and her new outfit. I had to wash it twice to get it all out. She loved her new chair. There was a pink one for her and a blue one for brother. As soon as she saw them, she knew the pink one was hers. I am going to go get them Saturday morning and let them stay the night.

I could not stand messing with the plants in the house any longer so today I set the tomatoes and the sweet peppers out in the garden. If they die they just die. I am thinking next year I will just buy plants. I was really tired of the whole thing about 2 weeks ago.

I have 5 or 6 sweet pepper plants left. They look like good plants. Do you want them, Patsy? I could bring them to Janet.

And



The thinks in this photo have meaning. The bowl is one I found in a box of junk I bought at Aunt Loveta's estate sale. It had been used as a planter of some kind because it was dirty on the inside, or at least that is what I imagined. I have never found a use for it, I do not particularly like it and it has no real purpose yet I keep it around, moving it from one unlikely place to another where it sits just taking up space.

The little ladder is one I stole from an unsuspecting acquaintance. Someone left it in Greg's RV many years ago. I saw it and liked the looks of it so I took it as my own. It is really too short and unsteady to be of any use as a ladder. I have used it as a place to display house plants, but now it just sits on the deck taking up space.

And the pitchfork? Well, I am thinking it is a bad omen. Grandson was here last Saturday with a friend. They went for a walk. The walked across the creek to Aunt Betty's old house and stole her pitchfork. Now, I know she has no use for this or any other earthly tool and probably would smile knowing my grandson thought of it as a prize, but still... I am pretty sure Betty and Chuck were the last people to live in this house, so it must have been theirs. Anyway, guess what grandson wanted with it? He wanted to sell it and make money. I gave him $5 for what he stole from Aunt Betty. I think I have no use for the pitchfork and it will probably sit in the corner taking up space for years to come.

I do not know what this means, except that maybe grandson has already started on a life of crime like his grandmother by his grandmother.

Easter



Emmy, Lane and two friends came down and hunted eggs. Emmy was excited to make a find. Lane not so much...
