Spring is Finally Here in the Mississippi Delta!


Diane Kurtz, our neighbor's daffodils
Harper's farm tractor
Our peach trees this year were beautiful all bathed in blossoms - now they are covered in tiny peaches but I'm just hoping the squirrels don't eat them all like they did last year!!






I'm eleven now!! Duncan got his usual birthday dinner of lasagne, garlic bread, salad and chocolate cake and his grandparents came over to eat with us!!!! he is in a size 14 pants now - i can't believe his growing spurt lately!!!!! This is Collin at the memphis zoo...he's cool.....




mary randal and benji her dog pose with daffodil - we picked so many daffofils this year from our neighbor's yard she has hundreds of them every year Duncan and his friend Dominick at the Racquet Club playing golf.











me and kids made 400$ during spring break and easter planting watermelon seeds for a farmer friend of ours - we planted them in a greenhouse but here's a picture of them in the field popping up through black plastic - there is an underground watering system and I hear they are doing great!!!







Egg hunt at mim's house after lunch and church. mimi always hides money in the eggs!We ended up staying over there with Jeff's family until 6 oclock.








Easter at Leland Presbyterian









march and april have been as hectic as the rest of the year so far and don't see an end in sight yet. mary randal tried out for Alice in Wonderland jr. play that her aunt lacy is directing today. that will be a lot of practicing and the play lasts a week at the end of june. she is also playing softball now and doing very well at it I must say! Also doing gymnastics and participating in a gym meet in may as well. Everyone is ready for summertime and the boys both had birthdays. We went to memphis during spring break (me and the kids) to the zoo and pink palace museum , we stayed at our cabin one night and daddy's in hernando 2 nights it was a fun get away. We went to memphis again to an old friend from high school's wedding and that was fun too and mary randal and i went last Sat. to memphis for the Memphis flower show and we stayed with daddy again.
