First, let's say thank you to our director, celebrating her 200th post today is... LEXA CAIN .
Our very special co-hosts...
What am I celebrating? (Thought you'd never ask.)
1 - I found my piece of jewelry I thought was lost for four years!! My Rainbow Obsidian Ball.
2 - The Lamb's Ear is coming up! I think they're a grape purple color.
3 - Spring has arrived!
I hope everyone has a great celebration day!
Hope forth and celebrate!
I'm so happy you found your rainbow obsidian ball! It's so pretty and it probably takes on different colors in the light. Your lamb's ear also looks lovely! Thank goodness spring is finally here!

Julie, I will definitely have to photograph it in a different light. Every color of the rainbow and a huge gold stripe, that is actually gold that was in the volcano. It's amazing.
DeleteI am enjoying spring. This year I'm finally planting more.
It's nice finding stuff you lost, isn't it? And the spring joke made me smile.
ReplyDeleteGod, Entertainment, & Annoying Things
This was very exciting!
DeleteThat joke cracked me up too :)
Lovely post Dixie, loved the pics and it was so good to read.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Yvonne.
How sweet, Yvonne. You always say the nicest things!
DeleteThat's awesome you found your obsidian ball. So tiny - no wonder it was lost for so long.
ReplyDeleteIt was hanging on the backside of a door into one of the bedrooms... who knows why? It's actually a 2 inch circumference.Weighs more than you think.
DeleteI also like finding "lost" stuff. Spring...wetting our plants? Wonderful stuff.
ReplyDeleteHi Marilyn - I loved that joke photo too.
DeleteI'm so happy you found your lost obsidian ball. I'm still hoping to find a small, topaz earring somewhere in my house! I love lamb's ear plants and it won't take long for this little thing to become full size.
ReplyDeleteCatherine - you never know. I thought this obsidian had somehow ended up in the trash. I can't wait to see the lamb's ear bloom.
Deletewe do love Obsidian!
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't think Lava rock would be so lovely?!
DeleteI love the sign about spring! And so happy you found your obsidion, Dixie, but you didn't tell us where it was hiding for all that time! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLinda Kay, I broke the gold chain, so hung it on a small black rope belt. Then hung the belt on the backside of the bedroom door knob. It's been there ever since.
Delete4 years is a long time for it to be in hiding, glad it was found.
ReplyDeleteReally. I thought, all this time, it was a belt buckle on the one of the belts hanging on the door knob!! It would make a banging noise... Ha!
DeleteFinding something we thought was lost is an amazing feeling. I'd celebrate that too! :)
ReplyDeleteI got all teary and called my god-daughter. Neither of us could believe. I haven't taken it off since I found it!!
DeleteThat rainbow obsidian ball is very pretty. I'm glad you found it!
ReplyDeleteI wish the photo did it justice. I'll take a better one soon as I get the new camera.
DeleteYay for finding lost jewelry! (The only thing better is finding money is jacket pockets! lol) Yay for your blooming garden, and I loved the funny sign about Spring! Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lexa. I once bought a pair of shorts from Goodwill for $1.99, and found $8 in the pocket. Quite the deal!
DeleteHow cute with that sign at the nursery :) Glad you found your lost jewelry, it is a pretty piece of it!
ReplyDeletebetty
Thanks, Betty. I like the sign too. Wonder if I should make one for the yard?
DeleteHow wonderful you found something lost for four years! A beautiful piece of jewelry. Mom loved that your name is Lillian too :-)
ReplyDeleteSharon, that was so interesting. I haven't seen your Mother's Day post but I bet it was sweet!!
DeleteHa! Lillians are lovely people, (smile).
Love the sign. Lambs' Ears grow wild where I live. We call it Flannel Mullein. It's what homesteaders sometimes used to wipe their bums before toilet paper became available, or so the story goes. I've grown the cultivated variety, the Lamb's Ears. The soil is so rich that they become a weed (although they're not considered to be invasive). Anyhew. I'm not saying I dislike them. I love their fuzziness. I just don't grow them in my garden anymore and besides, there's plenty of the wild variety that grows in fields and along roadsides.
ReplyDeleteCatherine - they do feel like Flannel - great name, really. I planted them at a wall because I was told they like rocks, and such. It's good place in case they become invasive. Hope you're well.
DeleteYou're got spring... here Autumn has hit:) The weather is dropping and I've pulled the heater out. Love it when you find lost things... your Rainbow Obsidian Ball looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTonya - winter? Oh my! It was 85 degrees yesterday. Thank you, I've been wearing it everyday since I found it.
DeleteKnow how you feel about that discovery, Dixie.
ReplyDeleteIf you could add a few words about my poetry on Amazon, that would be so helpful, kind regards, Carole.
Hi Carole Anne. I need to check it out. I actually forgot about it because of outside projects.
DeleteThat must have been a wonderful surprise to find your jewellery. The sign made me chuckle, definitely spring is in the air.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne.
DeleteHa ha ha - that sign! Also love obsidian like yours rather than the snowflake variety that is a lot more common - its lovely when you find something that's been missing a long time :) Have a super weekend - Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
ReplyDeleteThose were beautiful stoves you displayed!
DeleteI have snow snowflake pieces but they are flat and round.
Lots to celebrate! It's always great to find something you thought was lost--enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lara.
DeleteIt's always so fantastic when you find something you're sure you had lost. Especially when it's something you love.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate. I know you're working hard on those projects. Don't forget to rest, (smile).
Delete4 years? Holy hell! I'm surprised you even recognized it after that long ;) I used to have lambs ears in my old house...that is a cool plant. It really is so soft! And the best thing was that I never needed to water it, so the chances of my black thumb killing it were slim :) Enjoy your week Dixie!
ReplyDeleteKatie @TheCyborgMom
Four years... you mean the Obsidian... definitely recognizable. It's wrapped in gold wire. I'm hoping the plant does well at the block wall.
