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?

SUMMER IS BEAUTIFUL

  S ince I last wrote a lot has been happening on my patch. More color, warmer temperatures, house news, and a grandson graduating from high school.  We haven’t seen summer high humidity yet and I am very thankful for that. I get very depressed when it’s beautiful outside but too awful to go out. Heart issues. I am thankful that we have actually had a lovely Spring and early summer.  The house news is that the house in Maine has been sold. In fact, it sold the same day it was listed! The house listing included 12 acres of land and an ocean view but the access we had to the shore was not allowed to be included. If my parents had sold it, it would have passed on to the new owners. I feel bad for the new owners because there’s a no trespassing sign put up by the owners of property that once belonged to my grandmother. A glitch in the acquisition laws. My parents had right of way as did I but when it left the family the right of way clause was withdrawn. So, I had to come down in price. De

HAPPY AUTUMN!

Hello dear friends! For the past several days there’s been a change in temperature and I couldn’t be happier. The windows and doors are open and the air con is off. Yay I say! So, how have you all been? If you are a sun worshiper then you are probably not as happy about the change over from Summer to Autumn or Fall, however you might say it. Being a Mainiac (as in Maine) this time of year brings on a strong desire to visit the beach to surf watch. Especially when a hurricane is approaching. My oh my! I do wish I were in the York, Oqunquit, and Wells, Maine area!  The reality is that I am at home in land locked Pennsylvania. The mountains are about to come alive with beautiful colors. Foliage peeping runs a close second to surf watching.  * There’s a lot on our plate right now. Roger is still doing his part time summer job plus we have a project about to start of having a whole house generator installed. You might not think that is a big deal but it is for us. We don’t have a gas line t
