93 degree's

Hello to all, I had to show you what 80 and 90 degree weather in 2 weeks will do to the flowers. The Gazineas have bloomed in all there glory. They close up at night and say there prayers too. It's Sunday at 5:30 and 93 degree's. UGH. Trying to get yard work done and pack and ready to go is not my favorite. Wanted you to see some before and after pictures too. When we moved into this house right across the street was all orange tree's and look at it now. It's just terrible to see. They are supposed to put in 1 acre lots like ours for re-sale value. Let's hope. With all this down swing and Riverside is building building building. And is 3rd in the nation in foreclosures.

This little gully is when my coyotes live that sing to me everynight. I havent heard them for a couple of week though. With all that machinery I bet they have found another place to live. I love to hear them sing to each other. And even the babies would chime in with little tiny voices.

I promised you a picture of the backyard. This is some of it. The other 1/2 acre is undeveloped. This is more than enough to kill us taking care of it. The neighbors got in there pool today. But it still needs more 90 degree days to get it warm enough.

Preston come and visit Aunt Denny she has a big boy swing set that is fun to play on, can you see it. And Heather with all this construction I thought you know what would be prowling around.
But only 1 so far and that was Friday and someone got to it before me. Run over the head good. And I put my 4 cents worth of tire over it. Didn't even flatten it. Was really tough. But by night time when I took Uncle Jim Bob out to see it, it was worse than ground dirt. I'm going to install and electric wire the length of my yard and whenever anything goes over it it will shock them. So come and visit me Heather...

Really I did this blog to see if I could remember how to do it...So here goes....Love to all...Denny

What a beautiful day for Sunday Easter. This is the view out of our front door. The little mountain above the green trees is downtown Riverside and has a huge white cross on top. Every Easter whoever wants to can hike up at about 3:am to reach the top just as the sun come up. They say it's a very moving moment, but I couldn't do it with my knee. Would like to though. Jim still believes that Santa comes every year and that the Easter Bunny comes close behind. He's getting around better but is still not 100%. Dr. said it is going to take him a year to recover from all he had done. Still won't even entertain the thought of retirement. Which is good for me. He hated being home sick. Was bored out of his head and couldn't wait to get back to work. Love you my Jim Bob:)

Easter Bunny had to hide the Basket until Eric found them hiding and he took them out and arranged them for the Sleepy Bunny with her umbrella she got in LA. Thanks Eric for the help. Everybody seemed happy with not getting to much chocolate. Eric really gets on our case about it too. Not good for you Mom he tells me all the time...

This was our fruit and Rice krispie treat for our Choclate Fountain for Dessert this year. Kinda a bummer not having all the cakes and yummy sugar treats. But we made the best of it. Strawberries are on here right now and they are so good....

Spring has definately brought out all the flowers in the yard. When we moved in I wanted the front to be done all in Orange Gazineas. They planted them so far apart 4 years ago and now they are everywhere and so pretty. Thought you'd enjoy seeing the front Yard. Backyard is so full of Aloa Vera, Ferns, Roses, as soon as we get it all cleaned up I'll send pictures of it. Neighbor asked me the other day that if her daughter gets married this summer could they have it in our Back Yard. That will be the Second Wedding here. It's neat.

Here's a picture of our little Bonnie statue on a Rocking Horse with Hens and Chickens and Violets growing all around her, and she has a nice shady place under the palm tree's. I often go out and talk to her....I remember so much about her and grandma tell me about us doing thing together.... Love to all of you. I'm proud of Heather being so busy and still sends so much information and such cute pictures. I appreciate it so much Heather. When we can't be there to see the boy's grow so much, pictures are the next best things. You inspire me to be a better blogger. Love to all.....Denny
