Happy Blue Monday

First of all I would like to apologize for not posting as frequently as usual. I have had some health issues, family issues, and things that have to be taken care of. I promise that I will be back to visiting and posting more frequently very soon. I hope that each of you had a wonderful and blessed Easter. I was fortunate to have my family at my house.

This is Daughter Stephanie with Haylee Sherryann my great-granddaughter. I hope that the blue on Stephanie's shirt qualifies this for a Blue Monday post. Haylee Sherryann is a beautiful baby.


And the Easter egg hunt begins. The guys hid 200 eggs and each was found. The sky was so very blue.

This is the Easter basket that I received as a gift. I love the pottery "basket" and it is filled with my favorite candy.



The Historical Society had an Easter flower sale this week. I volunteered to work on Thursday. I bought this beautiful hydrangea. I am hoping that I'll be able to plant it and it will grow into a beautiful hydrangea bush.

I will say a prayer that you will be feeling fine and back up to speed. It looks like you had a lovely Easter holiday and your Pottery basket is gorgeous! We planted a new Hydrangea bush this year to go with the one from last year we planted. So far so good.
Hugs,
Connie

You don't need to apologize for not posting...blogging should be a fun thing not an obligation. I will come and read whenever you post because that is what following means to me. Praying you feel better soon. That is a real sweetie girl you have there.

Have A Marvelous Monday

That baby is a beauty. Wow...200 eggs! You guys do it up right! I love hydrangeas, and I wish that I could grow them. However, they don't do well here. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.

Sending prayers your way, for all that you stand in need of.

Nancy said...

Ok, two more things we love in common.
Marshmallow chicks and Dots. LOL. Very cute ceramic basket you received, and practical.
The baby can wear anything and qualify.
She is a doll. Your egg hunt looks like a lot of fun and that is a lot of eggs to hide.
Great to have you back whenever you can be.
Love Nancy

Karen at Nittany Inspirations said...

Welcome back. I have missed you. I'm glad you are feeling better and new babies are always a reason to be happy.

I am going to the farmers market in Bellville on May 13, providing it's not raining all day. I would love it if we could meet. My daughters from Bellfonte will be meeting me there, too. It's always so nice to meet other bloggers.

I'm going to join Becky of Hospitality Lane at Longwood Gardens near Philadelphia on May 16. Why don't you consider going there with us as well?

Blessings.
