Carson, who just turned five, has begun Tae Kwon Do classes.
His Dad, Chris, has been studying Wing Chun for about 9 years, so I should have known Carson would follow along. After this picture I was recruited to hem the pants of his uniform.
Carson seems to have his eyes on his cute instructor, if I'm not mistaken.

Mr. Bird Nest had the day off today and wanted to go to Fresh Market this morning. He wanted to get a pork roast to cook on Sunday and some filet migon for Saturday night. It's a wonderful grocery store and since it's not close to our house, we usually splurge when we go there.
Since he was in such a non-thrifty mood (a rarity at our house) I mentioned that I would like to stop at The Pottery Place if he had time. I got these two pieces of Waverly fabric (2 yds. of the plaid and 4 1/2 yds. of the flowered.
I already had these pillow forms. I need to make a few pillows for my back and my knee for after my surgery.
I should be able to make some fun combinations with these fabrics that will work in either of the bedrooms or office/den.

No, I haven't left Mr. Bird Nest for another man, I'm just enjoying my favorite tea and a great old book.
At least Spring must be on the way. I made a trip out yesterday and saw daffodils. It's so much fun this time of year when something new is blooming almost every day.

I always think in the spring that I will start to look through the Burpee catalog and make my yard plans for the summer.
My major plan for this year is to buy, paint white and place 2 cedar Adirondack chairs and a table by the maple tree to the left of our house.

My grandson Carson helped me transplant some iris to the front sidewalk from the back yard.
I need to look for some more colors.

A few of my milk bottle collections.
I've changed the words above my sink from "EAT CAKE" to "DRINK MILK". Since my favorite snack is brownies and milk, it seems like a better slogan.

Chris and Elizabeth's daughter Lauren had her 2nd birthday party yesterday. She was so excited and since her brother had one two weeks ago, she knew how the whole thing worked.
She had the most delicious red velvet cake with sour cream frosting.
Lauren with her cousin Chloe and a new Yo Gabba Gabba! guitar. If you have any grandchildren I stay really far away from these. The noise is defening.
Aunt Julie and Lauren.
Here are Chloe and Elizabeth. This was Noelle's weekend to work at the hospital so we missed her.
