April 1st Already!!

 Happy April 1st everyone!  It's April Fool's Day today, has anyone been fooled so far?  I really just can't believe it is 4.1.24 already!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter Sunday if they celebrate.  I had a really nice time yesterday.  I went to Easter Sunday service at my church at 11.  Then I had lunch with my friend, Ann at Longhorn Steak House.  Alot of my other friends at church was supposed to come too, but their families surprised them and came to take them out.  Ann is a very interesting person and has traveled extensively.  She had so many wonderful tales to tell.  One of my friends at church has chickens and she gave me a dozen eggs.  I can't wait to try them out, I love fresh eggs!

Last week I finally hung the huge Boston ferns on my front porch, put in 2 azaleas to replace the ugly builder's shrubs and I put my bird feeder together and hung that up.  I think the house and outside is looking more and more like my house rather than just a house.  That makes me happy!  

Looking so much better now.

Saturday, a woman in my widow group at church has decorated the altar and outside of the church for 20 years.  She asked myself and another woman to help her this year.  We had such a wonderful time and I really got to know these ladies alot better.

This little daffodil was out in front of the church.  I thought it was so beautiful!

This was the flower cross Janice and I created.  

This is the front of my church.  It is built with granite.  The town that the church is in is Granite Quarry.  I found out Granite Quarry used to be the only place in the world that had pink granite.  I think Colorado has found some out there.

This is the altar with the wonderful Easter Lilies, the bible and a cross that says He is Risen.

This is the back of the church.  The stained glass windows in the church are just beautiful!

After having lunch with my friend, Ann after church, I changed my clothes and went outside with Riley on my little patio and knitted for a few hours in the fresh air and sunshine.  It was wonderful!  I'm working on a commissioned piece for a customer.  What a warm and wonderful day!

In the beginning of last week I bought some white lilies, some small bright pink roses and baby's breath.  I made 3 bouquets like I usually do.  Easter morning this beautiful lily bud opened.  The smell heavenly and I have enjoyed them so much this past week.

Lily that opened on Easter Sunday.  Just beautiful!

Well that is about all I have for all of you today!  I am going to go outside this afternoon and start rototilling my new flower bed up.  I'm extending the front garden to be in line with the front walk that goes out to my driveway and then I will be tilling up along side the house.  I have had plants and roses arrive this past week and they need to be planted real soon.  I hope it all works out like I have planned in my head!

Everyone have a wonderful day!
