Had a very severe storm a few days ago that uprooted huge, old trees. Such a shame.<br />Saw your pretty eggs on IG. I don't check your blog very often as I know you don't post regularly.<br />The little tease photo of your new bathroom is gorgeous. Love those relaxing spa colours.<br />Laughing at the light switching. It's something I didn't think of with them... but it makes perfect sense.

Yes, enjoy those goodies from your lovely Easter basket for enduring a power outage! We had our power out on Easter day (at least it happened right after we had cleaned up our lunch). It was a quiet one for us reading all afternoon, which was very nice after being at church for the 6:30 am Sunrise service and all the other regular things that morning.<br /> Lovely peek into the new bathroom!

We got or little boy 'fixed' last month and he did great. It has been pretty wonderful here in the high desert and the local mountains weather wise. On such nice days I tell dh these are the days to remember in August. Hope your weather calms down. Can't wait to see the rest of the bathrooms. Looks like they are going to be beautiful.

That was some weather combination you had yesterday! Wowzers! We've had high winds since last night, but no tornadoes. Our snow is to come Friday night through Saturday. <br /><br />I LOVE those eggs. So, I have to ask this...did you paint them? They are just so stunning!<br /><br />The boys bathroom reno is gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing the before and after pictures of it!<br /><br />And I totally agree about the spring cleaning! IF we are going to do it then it should be with windows open and fresh breezes blowing through the house.<br /><br />Oh...and yes, you should have a reward for enduring the four hours of light switch flipping last night! xxDiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.com
