I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Spring has Sprung at Nelson Crest!!

Spring has sprung at Nelson Crest!!!!

Nelson Crest is now ready for the Summer Patriotic Holidays too!!!

 I will be linking up to these Patriotic parties!!
Yankee Doodle Party
 Celebrate the USA Linky Party

Nelson Crest is my Victorian Doll House!!
All the Christmas decorations have been packed away by the Nelson's..........
And they have decorated for Spring and also for the Summer Holidays by hanging Patriotic Banners.....
The top balcony......
Flower pots filled with flowers and some greenery on the railing.......
 The flower beds are looking pretty good.......
 On the left side .......
 The front porch.......
 Greenery around the railings........
 A delivery of eggs and milk was just made.......

 I see little Victoria, the Nelson's daughter, left her wagon on the side walk.......
 The flower bed on the right side......
 Even this potted tree is blooming!!
 And under the corner......
 A pond and a bird bath.........
Nelson Crest is all ready for Spring and Summer fun!!
 We had an unseasonably warm March and we are seeing many blooms and signs of Spring!!!

Blooms on my Forsythia that we keep trimmed back.......
 But my neighbor's forsythia looks fantastic!!
  Buds on my trees in the back yard.......
 The Lilac Tree.......
And even our back yard guests are back!!!!!
Morning Doves have nested in this pot in the corner of our patio 6 times over the past 2 years and now, they are back for a 7th time, starting the 3rd year that they have returned!!!
And we do have 2 eggs!!
Sorry, the above photo was taken quickly through the Den window when Mama and Papa Dove switched places......

Even though we have signs of Spring.......

We also had some of this on Sunday morning!!!
Yep!! Snow!!!

But this is actually not unusual for April in NEPA!!

And this is what our weather will look like for the next week!!!
Those are the low's predicted for the weekend ........
And see what that low temp was this morning in the bottom right hand corner!!!!!
 Before I took this photo , it was actually 19 degrees when I got up at 6:30 am!!

Spring in NEPA!!!

  Gotta love it!!!

We got spoiled in March!!

 I hope you will come by and visit  again!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
