I changed the header on my blog.  My sister and I went to a park last week and again this week.  I loved the art.  Rusty and resourceful.  There were a few more pieces of art and some even moved when the wind blew. It was fun to look a see what item was used.  The day was so much fun.

 I wanted to use this picture so you knew that I was really there.  A photographer is always behind the camera and not in front. 

Also I love all the violets that grow wild in the forest.  The pop up everywhere.


 Red tulips covered the ground and then this lone yellow tulip stood tall and proud.  The park was so beautiful last week they we wanted to go back this week to see the dogwoods in bloom.  We were not disappointed.  We want to go back again.  Rhododendrons and the azaleas will be in bloom in less then a week.
 
 
 
Buster the swan  had an attitude with the geese.  Can you believe his name is Buster.  He also follows the golf cart that the gardener uses. He just posed for us stretching his neck even longer. To funny.
 
 

 
Several have asked to see my house.  As you know when Dennis and I bought the house in London we saw its potential. I saw this house's potential but I am not finished yet.  My little house is across the yard from Dad and Mom.  That is good for me and for them.  I have a new roof, new windows and a new A/C.  I am still waiting on my door and storm door. I hired a carpenter to finish the inside of the house.  It is really cute. Before I put the siding on the house I will have a building built on sight to store my lawn mower and tools.  I also have a price on a  10 x 10 deck on the front.  The house is small but as I get older it will be easier to take care of.  When Dennis and I started remodeling in London I was a whole lot younger.  The remodeling may do me in.  I am trying to do everything at once and the mind is willing but the body is not.  As my "Little House" comes along I will post the updates.
 
 
 
This covered bridge is in Burns Park in North Little Rock.  What a peaceful place.    We are going back to walk the trail as soon as we can.  There are so many places to visit in our area.  My sister and I have a good time.  We pack a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and snacks and drinks. We walk, take pictures and then have a picnic and then look and take more pictures.  I take two cameras and my sister takes three.  Each camera has its specialty so we can get the shots we want.  I am learning a lot following my sister around and I have a lot to learn.  It sure is fun.
I will let you know when I post again.  Have a blessed Easter week-end.

  2. We did have such a fun day! I love those rusty sculptures we saw. I think the one in your header was the best one. Although the moving one was pretty fun! I still can't believe that beautiful swan is called BUSTER!! Great post!
