Stop to smell the flowers...

It seems that the weekend is a perfect time to do just that- stop and take a deep breath. April proved to be quite a hectic month for me and the Fella and what better day than the first day of May to take a break. Take a breath.

So, as the clock strikes noon today I will be leaving work to start my weekend early. We don't really have anything planned. And that is exactly how I like it. You might find us at the movies or Target or watching hockey or at a yardsale or out in the yard- taking time to smell the flowers- like the lilacs and snowballs above.

Have a wonderful weekend dear friends.

I love it! Bella Della & her Fella! Well, you just relax and enjoy yourself immensely. Maybe trot out to a few yard sales. Kick back and look at some magazines for inspiration (or blogs, which is about the same thing and free!) And I have got your seeds in the mail as of yesterday. They should arrive shortly. If only I had a way I would split up plants and send those too! We're going to get you a good garden going, girl!

I LOVE lilacs! They along with hollyhocks are my favorite flower. Are they a flower or a tree? Hmmm, now you got me thinking. I love open weekends. This is my last one before work starts so I too am anxious for it. Hope you guys have a great relaxing one!!

Happy May Day and have a great weekend. Sniff those lilacs for me; I love them, but we are just too warm for lilacs to do well down here.
