Rachel's Musings

Thanks for coming!

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company; a church; a home. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...We are in charge of our attitudes." (Charles Swindoll)

Annie: Hello Rachel! I was wondering what church you attend? I see religious themes on your blog but I was curious as to what church you actually attend.

Denise: What a wonderful gift of a freezer!Right now we can't really have a garden where we live due to flooding problems although we have considered rice! LOL! I like the graphics you create! You do them on Irfanview? Never heard of that. I make some really simple stuff on PSP but nothing really complicated. Not sure how to and never have the time to experiment.

very quickly

Very quickly I wanted to pop in and wish everyone a great day!!!!! I have had the last two days off, and while it rained both days, I was able to get out in my yard and see how the new Spring growth was thriving!!!!

My Clematis is growing even taller this year, and all the baby trees are budding and show good health. So I am excited. My Prarie Fire Crabapple Tree really bloomed out this year and is drop dead gorgeous. I am already excited about next Spring when the trees will have mroe size and should bloom for the first time.

My herb garden surprised me by new growth of all the herbs including the Rosemary!!!!! I honestly did not think it would come back on it's own after winter. But it did, and I have four of them coming up. The scent is wonderful!!!!!

I haven't been here much as I have been busy with some really deep Spring Cleaning. I have already gotten rid of loads of stuff, and more to follow LOL. Now to tackle the storage building LOL. I dread it but yet look forward to it if that makes any sense.

Sidney is wanting to go fishing, so I am making plans to get him the basics that he will need. Soon the weather will be dry enough to go down to the lake.

And of course I am still busy with PSP. I am so addicted to that program! I have managed to do some more sig tags from various tuts on the internet. I will upload one of them here for all of you. It was made with you in mind.

Take care and I hope to have some good news soon.

I love your ragdoll graphic. Did you create it? It's so adorable.

We're in the midst of getting our garden ready to plant soon. I can almost taste the fresh veggies that I hope will grow this year.

In my life, I've tried 3 different times to get a 'nellie moser' clematis and each time the darn thing was one of the purple ones... Nope, it wasn't the soil, I know this because each attempt was at different locations across our state... and my mil's 'nellie moser' is beautiful, so I know they do bloom the right color... I'm guessing that some one at the stores switched the labels or boxes of the clematis and I got snookered every time at 3 different stores. lol What does that say about my mentality?
