Roozengaard Tulip Gardens

I picked up my aunts and my mom bright and early on Friday morning and we hit the road with coffee and trail mix. It was a perfectly lovely day. We took the scenic drive north this year, rather than taking I5. I’d say it took us about 15 minutes longer than it normally does, but it was worth the extra time. The back road drive is beautiful. Slow at times, but beautiful.

It was really cold in the morning. We walked around a small garden and decided we were freezing. LOL Okay, so it was in the 40s but we were cold. So we drove around looking at all the fields, barns, cows, and gardens, then we stopped for lunch.

We strolled around Roozengaard gardens during the warm afternoon sunshine. The gardens are amazing this year. However, they are more crowded than I’ve ever seen them before. We skipped going to Tulip Town on this day, but as we drove by, we can see their tulip fields are beautiful too.

My dear hubby said go… enjoy the day. He told me he’d fend for himself. Wow. I  loved that! I called a couple times just to be sure and he told me the boys had something to eat, and he would find things to do for the evening. So we made a really long day of it. We stopped into a few specialty shops in the late afternoon. Then drove the long windy back roads home. I was home by nine last night.

I feel very refreshed after a relaxing day in the gardens. I will post a big batch of photos later in the week.

Winter White

It’s snowing… again. Not that I’m complaining, but this may change my plans for the evening. We’ll see. Right now we have about half an inch or maybe an inch, and it’s coming down hard.

T-man has pictures with the track team. Wonder if they’ll take them out on the field in the snow.

 Well, I’m off… with my unsnobby coffee coupon and my hubby in tow. Maybe we’ll get a cup of hot chocolate and take a walk in the snow… can’t get much more romantic than that.

*edited at the end of the night*  

WhooHoo! We have several inches of snow and it’s still snowing! It is absolutely gorgeous outside.

Gossip

When you hear it… gossip… what do you do?

Do you settle in and ask for more details?

Do you stop the person talking… the talebearer, and say something like, “I don’t want to hear anymore”?

If you’ve heard the gossip… have you said a prayer that things will work out? Have you said a prayer for the people involved? 

Or…

Have you done your part and spread the gossip even further? Think about it. Even if it’s true… did you tell another person?

Gossip hurts.
