The decisions are made....

Not the greatest pic...but you can see that silhouette.  It is a little house wren.  They have made their decision and have decided to have their nest in the gourd on our front porch.
They have been busy all day...and just sing and carry on something fierce.  Just happy to be alive.  I guess we should all be that way.  They are such a joy to have around.

Sink is in, but kitchen still is not back to normal.  But will be here shortly. 

Lorelei is coming tomorrow for a couple nights.  I hope it doesn't rain the whole time.  If nothing else, I would love to take her to a greenhouse before the plants are all gone.  And maybe get to take her to the park to play.  And it is warm enough to have out the squirt guns...of course, she is just as happy being here as anything.  So it is no worry either way.  But would just like to see her reaction to all the flowers.

Waiting on the wisteria

Here it is the middle of May, and my wisteria still has not got any blossoms open.  The one above was take April 24 of last year.  I just love wisteria and can't wait for it to bloom.

Roger is getting the new faucet on the new sink...he puts the faucet on before he sets the sink in the counter.  I have it cleaned out under the sink.  No, I did not take a picture....that is one place I don't want to share with anyone.  Though it is basically just cleaning supplies, a flower vase or two for bringing in my own bouquets if I want, and cleaning rags.  Still, it was not a pretty sight.

It is acting like it could rain but it is still warm.  The mosquitoes are going to be horrible this year.  I can hardly sit in the swing unless I do burn these coils...not sure what they are but they actually work and keep the mosquitoes away.

From here...

The photo in the previous post was a cropped portion of this photo...a close up of a goose belly...I am not sure why I did not zoom in closer with this photo instead of cutting it off like this.

Have been on the go most of the day...after therapy, fixed a late breakfast, stopped for a little bit to watch a sewing show.  Then the running began.

We went to Menard's to pick up a few things...ended up with a new sink and faucet.  Which we needed, but had intended to wait a bit.  And Roger picked up a few things he needed in his shop....but they did not have the size bandsaw blade he needed so left there to go to Harbor Freight.  Stopped and ate a bite...then to one of the greenhouses.

I had called to see if they had brandywine tomato plants but didn't think to ask if they were selling them by single plant or in the little 4 packs...got down there and they were the singles.  So, just picked up some other tomatoes.  I am hoping to get to an Amish greenhouse in Parke County.  Maybe they will have them.  I am so disappointed.

While there, we did pick up 3 hibiscus plants, and a foxglove...Roger planted everything when we got home.   The hibiscus are the kind that blooms later in the summer so we will be looking forward to that.

No sewing at all today, but am getting closer to having my current quilt top finished.  I just have to cut the borders and get them sewn on.
