Spring Snapshots!!

Spring is in bloom here in Cincinnati!! I LOVE it!! Here's a few photos from the past few weeks. My yard is still a work in progress but the steps to the new back patio are coming along nicely. Yea! No more step ladder from the back door to the new paver patio. Haha.... The grand kids are excited for the new pond/fountain to be put in. I promised them that I would get a fish for each one of them to put in the little fountain/pond. Maddie says her fish will be named "silly guy". I have no idea why but every fish she has ever had is named "silly guy". LOL I am getting some Koi fish but have never had them before so if anyone has had any experience with Koi fish, I could use the advise! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Hi Joan,
Your Koi pond will be wonderful. My sister in law has a gorgeous pond with Koi in her Michigan yard. She is recouping from surgery right now, but I will ask her for any tips she might have when we email again.

Oh your grand dolls are darling and growing up so fast. Loved catching up with your blog. So nice to see you this afternoon and thank you for stopping by. I understand too well about being busy and getting around to visit. I am so behind at the moment. We did a remodel of our masterbath and before that the master bedroom. I am ready for a break, but now it's yard work and back in the studio. LOL Love it all.
Glad your Cincy weather is pretty. I remember this time of year well. Just gorgeous!

Have a great rest of the week and have fun working on your yard and pond too. Looking forward to the finish pics.

Hugs, Celestina Marie

Beautiful blooms!! I can't wait to see your completed back yard project.

I went to a Koi auction in Holland one time. All I know about them is that they can grow really big and they can sell for more than $10,000 at auction.

Isn't this a most wonderful time of year? We're seeing color sprouting up all over too. Rain all weekend but that will help all those flowers. Beautiful Joan!
