HAPpy SPrinG!


IT MAY NOT SEEM VERY SpriNGY WHERE YOU ARE, in fact it might still be cold and bleak looking and there may be still some of the white stuff around. What bliss to see the back end of what was a long cold Winter. But here in eastern Pennsylvania Spring has definitely sprung. In fact, 
I have already started the outside clean up even though Roger reminded me that last year it snowed on April 15th. 

LIFE GOES ON

There have been birthdays celebrated. A granddaughter turned 13 and a grandson turns 11 tomorrow. 



Happy anniversary to me....

I have an anniversary this month-a blogiversary. I have one year of blogging under my belt. In the beginning I said I would give it a try for a year. And despite not getting many comments or feed back, Blogger stats show that I have had over 200 readers a month visit me here with a total of over 3000 for the year as well as many hits on Google +.  While that may not seem like a lot, I am happy with it. I feel like I am still very much a novice. So, it's onward I go and I thank you all for stopping by. Please come back again and again. If you have any suggestions or helpful criticism, drop me a line via my email or leave me a comment.

HOOKY THROW IS DONE....TA-DAA...drum roll please...


I do love it when I can have a Ta! Da! Moment. That sense of completion after hours of work gives me a hooky high....vs a runner's high. 


I followed the pattern from a blog that I love. ..lesmondedesucrette.blogspot.com. 

 I have several more throws that are in various stages of completion but I am going to take a break to make my daughter a poncho. More on that in my next post. 

What a beautiful color blooming at the top of our driveway after the awful bleakness that was under the snow that has melted. Warmer temps and lots of sunshine is regenerating life once again. 

Spring Blessings!

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

Hello there wherever you are! A little update from the person who has a very boring existence these days. Well, I guess I left off with the sale of my parents house and the divviing up of the proceeds to various family members. That open a whole lot of friction with lawyers involved. That took time and the buyers had construction workers due to start work on the house. They extended the closing date by 10 days and I was sweating bullets on the last day but it happened and is behind me now.   Once that was over with we scheduled to have a whole house generator. Electricians, and excavators were scheduled but because of backlogs we didn’t see anyone until after Christmas. We are in a valley and we have to drive up to our road. A ditch had to be dug from our house to the road. The power company had to replace a pole and run new lines up at the road. Trees had to be cut down and huge boulders taken out of the ditch. What a mess! It rained just about every day when the were doing all 30...

RAINY DAY MUSINGS

  Hello dear bloggy friends! Another rainy blog of musings. I hope you don’t mind. So, what am I doing on this dark, rainy day? I am reliving nostalgia…of a youth wasted on a picturesque island on the coast of Maine.  I can remember buying my first record player in my teens. I don’t know what it was.  My younger brother was the music buff in the family. I had no time. I was working or reading. School. No dating though. Fast forward to today.     About a year or so ago I was introduced via YouTube to the BEE GEES! I love love love this group.  A  musical 🎶 treasure I missed out on in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s!!! How did I miss SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER?? Yes, I know my world was warped. Working while the world turned. Until I retired there was very little down time for me and when there was I read. Love to read. I’m sure I knew what was going on, after all I have lived in cities for most of my life after leaving the Island. But better late than never I ...

BEING GOOD TO ME

-
  Hello and thank you for stopping by! It’s raining here, has been for days and the rivers and streams are in overdrive with massive flooding. I hope that you are okay wherever you are. As for me I am a bit stressed these days so have retreated to knitting and writing. I feel somewhat better when I put myself first. I know that might sound selfish but I need to prioritize in my mind what comes first…having a heart attack or taking a break from life. Just joking. I think many of you reading this have developed coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing psychologically with life issues and unpleasant situations. I have dealt with horrible life circumstances by retreating into myself. I have suffered my whole life with social anxiety and a lack of self confidence. I hide it well but lately it is manifesting itself again. I rather think I am my mother’s child after all. My father had lots of self confidence and an extremely outgoing personality. He loved to laugh, sing, and was very ...
