Giving thanks to all the millitary personnel who died while serving out great nation!

Hello dear friends and welcome to another Tales of The Traveling Tote. I hope you enjoyed your long holiday weekend and are looking forward to welcoming summer. It has been a beautiful spring here and we've been taking advantage of the cool breezy days to begin the task of planting new shrubbery and adding flowers to the beds.

I ask Jim to add my Mrs. Powers dinner and door bell next to the door

We took a break from our work to enjoy the long holiday weekend. Grilling and sitting on the porch is a real treat from all the work last year of listing and selling our home and then moving. I enjoyed setting a table for two for dining al fresco. I did remember to take a photo of our patriotic dessert. 

In April we traveled to Atlanta to spend Easter with my sister and brother-in-law. Spring is incredibly beautiful in Atlanta with blooming flowers with such vibrant colors. We enjoyed walks around the neighborhood with trees bursting forth with new lush green growth. 

The azaleas were blooming

I always enjoy visiting a few of our favorite shops with my sister while we are there

Boxwoods nursery and gifts 

I loved seeing this beautiful and inspirational symbol of spring and Easter, a Living Cross

  Peachtree Road United Methodist Church   Easter Cross of Flowers

Church members bring greenery, flowers and branches to help decorate the Easter Cross of Flowers

We didn't do a lot of traveling this spring but I am packing now for our first vacation of summer. Here's a hint of a very happy place I love to spend time!

We have had more that our share of cold weather this winter. Hot, mild and cold, you name it we've had it. With so much cold weather and Covid we have been staying close to home. 

Miss Courtney was a great helper during the holidays

A great way to stash stockings 

to be hung on Christmas Eve

This large tote is wonderful for helping to carry an armful of plates

And holding pillows and wraps

Snow Days

Finally, wonderful spring like days to enjoy a drive to Trader Joe's 

Almost 80 degrees and I am so ready for spring. A trip to the garden center is in order!

Spring flowers, enjoy...

  

It was a fun afternoon with flowers but even if it's hot here it is early for planting. We will certainly have more cold weather. We have been know to have snow in March and early April. 

So what came home with me? 

Daffodils are my favorite!

Daffs to enjoy inside and will be transplanted in the garden beds later
