FIVE BLESSINGS

-

Hi there, it's raining on my patch today. Roger had a dentist appointment, then an injection in his knee and then did the grocery shopping. I stayed home in front of the fireplace tucked into my cozy chair with 2 dogs and a cat as chair mates. 

Roger has very good luck with orchids.





Blessing #1: Spring has arrived! Our snow is gone. Hurray! 

Our first crocuses and violets  of the season  covering our front yard have sprung up and opened up to the sunshine we had for a few days with warm temps in the 50's and 60's.   Clumps of daffodils are appearing around the lamp post out front and along the walkway to the front door. Oh, it is so nice to see these first harpingers of Spring! Blessing #2.













White tailed deer gather on the back side of the property waiting for some corn. Blessing #3: Beautiful wildlife.

I am still in Pennsylvania. My mother seems to be doing very well right now so I don't have to head back up until after my next eye injection the 4th of April and the celebration of my grandson's 15th birthday.. That means I will have been home for 2 months! Then we celebrate my grandson's 15th birthday on the weekend and I head  for Maine after that. I do miss the ocean air. I love standing on the deck feeding the gulls and breathing in that ocean vitamin sea. Blessing#4.
According to Mom the weather has been wild; Gale force wind, snow and ice and cold. That was last week. So far this week sunshine but still cold and a wintry mix tomorrow. I hope by the time I get back up there it will look like Spring.

 Lastly, we are so fortunate to have choices.
I thank God for where I live: Blessing #5. America the beautiful. For our freedoms.

 What are you thankful for?

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 foo

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 say. Maybe I wouldn’t have loved t

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 well
