I am going to work Thursday and Friday. I won't know if this girl is coming back on Monday or ever until Sunday afternoon. I will try to post my daily comment in the Bulletin. Please take time to check it there. Some days I will post early and some days after work. Stop by and leave me comments when you have time. I'll keep you up to date as I know what is happening.
Thank you for being my friend and for keeping in touch with me as I am sure I will look forward to your sweet comments and be in need of some laughter every day.
We are up most mornings between 6 and 6:30 and every morning is started with coffee. Even the Roosters need a boost some mornings to get going.
Most days involve music sometime during the day. Our Alexa will play Country Classic Mix from SiriusXM on our everywhere group which includes Bedroom, Garage, Shop, Patio and Living Room.
Most days also involve watching for my male Ruby Throated Hummingbirds and the females too. I got some great videos of them pollinating the flowers all around the patio.
There is usually some day dreaming about drifting off into the sunset and other beautiful places.
Pictures of flowers blooming are taken most days too. It is amazing the difference a day makes.
All day long there are my talks with Our Father and Jesus and The Holy Spirit (and listening too). Each and everyone of you are mentioned during these visits. I pray that your days are as blessed as my days.
Hope you enjoy a quiet Sunday and take time to recharge.
I would like to find time to get "into" a good book.
But I don't want one that is too big because it will take me too long to finish it.
Besides whether I read in bed or at most anytime, do you know what happens to me?
That's right, I always seem to fall asleep! Do you have that problem too?
I just get too comfortable and drift right off into sleep land. Then I have to figure out where I fell asleep in the book.
So, I think, I will say Good Night now because even though I plan on going outside for a while, I still will end up reading my book and falling asleep sometime later.
Good Morning Friday! Happy Cinco de Mayo. Let's do this day the right way. Drink some coffee, listen to music and read the day away.
OK, this may be a little extreme, but nothing like music and reading and coffee to start your day or an early weekend.
Unless you want to throw in some beautiful flowers. Now you are talking about a great lazy day.
After all, plants give off oxygen and make our life so much better. You have to remember...
And it is not Hoarding if it is used books no matter how many you have. After all, you are saving their life and saving the landfill.
I hope your Friday is a joyful calming day full of coffee, music, and reading a good book. Remember I will be working and enjoying that almost as much.
We have made it halfway to the weekend... and so have all our animals.
You knew I would start with the giraffes, didn't you?
Would you look at the ears on that Zebra baby! Our dog, Reba, has kinda big ears and they have turned almost completely white with age.
Now who can resist that sweet face and the beautiful Cannon Beach, Oregon. I love visiting that place.
Even cats are happy with all their silliness to have made it to Wednesday. That is just plain cute.
What do you mean it is only Wednesday? How far away is the weekend?
I got a call at 7:25 am Wednesday morning to go to work. I am already scheduled to work Friday and have no idea if I will work on Thursday or not until the girl that is out lets me know. But the $ will come in handy when we have to pay for over 100' of new picket fencing to be replaced.
Here you come again, just when I'd begun to get myself together.
Now sing that all day... and think of me!
Maybe a little chocolate cake with your morning coffee will help start the week off right! I prefer Braum's Cherry Pie with my morning coffee.
Gosh we miss Miss Kitty! Yet, since she had a leakage problem, I haven't worn shoes in the house since she went to Heaven to wait for us. Always look for the positive in every situation.
Besides, as often as Mondays seem to come around, so do the months and years. Do you remember 1978? OFTEN, I still think of myself as this thin, energetic, able to do anything person. Boy, do I look tall there too!! All those boys are WAY taller than those two Moms are now.
Time sure does fly whether we are having fun or not. However, there is lots to be thankful for after all these years. Julie (my friend in Lubbock) and I have been friends for a very long time and have wonderful memories. I hope you take time on this Monday to remember friends and family and to give thanks!
Are you ready for the weekend? I think I am even though I don't have a clue what will happen.
All I know is that if there is sunshine, I will be outside enjoying every minute of it.
I will be on the lookout for hummingbirds. Our latest cold snap seems to have them hibernating because I have not seen them. Ok, maybe I was hibernating!
Whether I am outside or just walking past the windows, I am always on the lookout for hummingbirds or butterflies or birds or anything else that moves in the yard.
I also like to walk the front and the back just in case there is a new flower that has bloomed or some new plants that have popped up out of the ground.
I know green roses are rare but it is probably because if I had one, I would think it was a weed and pull it up. Wouldn't you? Ok, as much as I hate pulling weeds, maybe I wouldn't pull it up.
Work, work, work. I love working part time. I really wouldn't want to work more than I do but then the money sure comes in handy too!
Whether I am working or home, inside or outside, there is NOTHING like sunshine. Good ole Vitamin D. This year sunshine has been hard to come by, just cloudy, dreary and rainy weather.
So whether the sun is shining or can't be seen, whether it is day or night, be sure your Light is shining.
But don't forget about your Love toward others too. That means saying something nice to those you encounter.
We got rain last week, 12/10" is what Hubby told me. The grass is green. We are expecting more rain (along with the possibility of hail and tornadoes) today and tomorrow.
Yes, this is me. Excited that I have so many flowers blooming.
And you know I have many, many, many more of my pictures from this month. I hope you enjoy these and they put a smile on your face. Now don't forget to share that smile with others.
I am sharing my best friend with you. But I want you to know how much your friendship means to me... a LOT!
What to do on a Thursday. Dog days of summer, I mean spring. Temperatures are up and down, BUT
Every day is a new adventure. Some days are just plain and simple. Some days are exciting.
More often us girls start out with a bad hair day. Some days we can get it under control and other days it is like... who cares.
I know we all have days that we just want to hide our head and take a nap. Do not disturb me today.
There are days when friends, family or spouses want to play a game of scrabble or some other nonsense game.
Then there are the dreary days that the only thing to do is curl up in a chair with a cup of coffee and a good book. What is your day like today and your favorite kind of day?
Most of you know I love to take pictures. But to capture the moon like that, you need the right camera.
Even with a phone camera, it takes the right "eye" to "see" the right angle to capture the right picture.
I also just like looking at pictures. I came across this one that had a caption of the name of a plant. This is a Double Angel Trumpet.
A lot of you might not know that plant or remember the name Cricket. She was the first person that asked to be my friend when I joined Not Over The Hill in 2008. The above picture is her Angel Trumpet plant in her front yard.
While Cricket is no longer with us on earth, her Angel Trumpet plant lives on at my home just as she lives on in my heart. She would take cuttings in the fall and root them over the winter. She sent me a couple of cuttings and I still have one growing in a tub. It is inside our garage today because it is cold. It has been pulled in and out (in warmer weather) of our garage so many times over the years (hundreds) and will soon be at home in our backyard in another month when the weather stays warmer.
Every time I spoke to Cricket with all her health trials, she would say she couldn't wait to get to Heaven and have a "Woo Hoo Party" with Jesus. I was blessed by her friendship and I am also blessed by your friendship.
