...four days gone by

and I'm still happy.
Every time I look out my back window.
Not only are the lilacs in bloom,
but my lawn is talking to me!

Can you see it?



It says "HAPPY MOM's DAY."
It was hard to see at first, but the sun helped out and burned the grass where the words were mowed in. One of my favorite Mother's Day gifts. It keeps on giving.

Oh.

P.S.
Last
night
in
the

of making


Belgian Waffles
for dinner, (I know! Indulgent.) The power went out. And then we had to leave for youth night at the church. So off we went, and nobody thought to unplug the waffle iron in case the power might come back on while we were gone... Let the picture speak for itself. We came home to a lov-er-ly charcoal aroma, the house still standing, and this.
We are

feeling grateful for thick batter,
a quick trip home
and
no fire-y repercussions.

Oh my! That is TOASTED. I did that once with TOAST. The toast looked just like your waffle, sadly we had a fire because of it. :)

That should have been two separate posts! I assume Rog did the message for you? Really cute and clever. I'd love looking at it as well, especially if I was hanging wash. The waffle? Been there, done that, but not quite so far away.

Loved the sign in the grass. Sorry about your waffle iron and happy your house is still standing. Scary situation for sure.
