May 13th - Monday - Cold even snow flurries today

We are home and sad but true we have freeze warnings for tonight.  After enjoying 84 degrees in Tennessee, it is cold to us now.

After having a lovely church service and coffee hour yesterday, Lou and I did something that we normally do not do on Sunday, we came home and changed our clothes and went to work.  We spent the day cutting grass and running the weed eater.  We cut grass through rain drops, sleet and high wind, but by golly we got it all done before dark, and we sure were glad to come inside and turn on the heat.

We celebrated Mother's Day by grilling steak on the grill and having home made mince meat pie for dessert with a steaming pot of coffee.  Krista called early in the morning to wish me a Happy Mother's Day, and Matthew and Michelle came down last evening with beautiful cards in hand and Scott called last evening and Susie mailed a pretty card, so it was a nice day all the way around.

We had a nice trip to Tennessee, and of course, the time went very quickly, as we needed to get home and get ready for Lou's surgery on Thursday, and then we get the RV cleaned and repacked for our next trip on Sunday, so this will be a busy week, of catching up and getting things done at home.  The flowers and trees are beautiful and such an array of birds at the feeders.  Krista and Steve kept the feeders full while we were away and it has paid off, as today we had the white topped sparrows, which normally do not visit our area and the pine siskins were here to visit also.  The homing pigeon is still here and seems in no hurry to leave.
