You come across as a very happy, positive person; maybe your friendships contribute to that. Anyway, I just love reading about your adventures with friends and how you've kept in touch with so many people over the years. <br /><br />Daffodils are such tough little flowers. Ours survived the crazy up and down temperatures. I hope yours did too.

Like you, we've had to endure so much snow and cold weather, but it looks as if spring is warming up for a command performance, soon. Those critters, I tell ya, they are itching to get started! There is a robin who has been coming to sit on one of the branches of our tree and sings every morning, and it's as if she's saying, "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE! I have eggs to lay, but nowhere to build a nest!" And those squirrels....nothing stops them! And the rabbits. Bless their little hungry hearts, but they have eating every arbor vitae tree at its base!<br /><br />Glad to see you are on a mission to start off spring with a spring in your step!Castles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-62204045437810918192018-04-20T03:17:58.363-04:002018-04-20T03:17:58.363-04:00Yes, good friends are the very best.

But I'm glad you're helping the birds, and the squirrels, too. I've heard amazing ice and snow stories from up that way, including some real horror stories about people who couldn't go anywhere because of solid ice all over their cars, the streets, and so on. Enough! I say. You people deserve some spring!<br /><br />And by the way -- you thought you could slip those paintings past me, did you?

I think family time for me is the best and I am going to make time for some friends as I miss them. It's hard when I'm a full time caretaker for my Mom, but I need some time for me as my kids keep reminding me. I did some watercolor painting with Scout who just turned 3 and it was fun.

Looks like fun meeting up with old friends and your dinner you and Rick prepared sounds delicious. Love those cookie sandwiches, I need to make a note about them to make for my grandson. Love your sweet daffodils, always first here but mine came in February and are long gone. We have had our share of rain too, glad your basement was okay.
