Today is our great grand daughter, Madison Claire McSwain's first birthday!!! She is walking! And she is a real cutie pie with a gorgeous smile and beautiful blue eyes! Her mother, Lauren keeps us fairly well up to date on Madison's development with the 'blog'

This is such a beautiful day. I've just spent about two hours outside finding a variety of things to do and had to make myself come back inside to continue working on organizing data for income tax.

There is a beautiful little weeping cherry tree in the front yard. Steve, Pat, Meredith and Patrick came to spend Christmas with me. Patrick, Valdis and Liga planted the tree fore me on Christmas Eve! I am delighted to have such a beautiful and thoughtful gift.

Daffodils, are blooming along with crocus, pansies, hyacinth and little quaker ladies (bluets) all over the yard! The saucer magnolia along with neighbor Caty LaRue' beautiful large cherry trees and the Bradford pears all together are celebrating the new life of spring.

No Wednesday night dinner at church tonight, so I am baking a sweet potato for my supper. There will be a Maundy Thursday service at church tomorrow evening.

We are having some very warm days this week. All the flowering trees are excited and are showing their beauty. Gene's little apple tree in the back yard is full of buds just ready to burst open. If we don't get another big freeze, there might be some apples on the tree this year!
