Yay! I went to the gem show in Martinsville last weekend! I tell all about it in the latest podcast. If you didn’t listen to or don’t want to listen to the podcast, here is what I bought:
A crystal ball (it’s gorgeous)
blue Quartz
Zoisite
Quartz
Flourite
and much more.
I have pictures of everything at my Flickr. You can find a link to all my Flickr pictures to your right. Check it out and let me know what you think. 
Yes, it’s May and I haven’t posted here in a few months. Don’t worry, I’m not going to stop posting here. I just post more over at my podcast page. I’ll try to remember to post here more often.
Well, Spring as sprung! The trees have their leaves again. All the plants are full and lush. I love it! Recently I did some yard work. I put red mulch down in the yard across the front of the house. I also transplanted my four lavender plants that were around my bird bath to the front yard. I then planted three new plants around the bird bath.
Back in April, I went to Lowe’s for their Free Tree giveaway. The nice man that had the trees, let me get two. They were so small and cute! They look just like a branch off a pine tree. (They are Colorado Blue Spruce!) The instructions said to plant them in pots and let them grow in them for a year and then transplant them to the yard. I have them in pots side by side. They are doing well. I noticed the other day that both have new growth on them so I guess they are taking to the pots well.
Next month I hope to get some more mulch. I need to finish up the front yard and then it will look really nice. I didn’t have enough mulch to finish. I would buy more, but I’m trying to save a little to go to the gem show in Martinsville next weekend. If I go, I will post about it here and I will also do a podcast about it. I love the Gem show! If you want to see if this particular show is coming your way, check our their website.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
