SPRING AT LAST, THANK YOU LORD

-

Hello my dear lovely readers! This blog post is photo heavy and should be named : A TRIP AROUND THE HOUSE WITH BUDDY.
The pictures are actually displayed last pictures first but I didn’t want to fight with blogger or my lacking abilities so I just left them the way they uploaded. Thank you for your patience🙂.
So, here we go…

The back of our house is just lovely right now with all the flowering trees.


The side of our house that faces the road where the new gas generator was installed. Not pretty. Except for the Snowball bush. It smells heavenly.




I think this is a Crepe Mertle tree.

This is where the ditch problem was that the contractor left us with. Roger and 2 neighbors worked all day last week to correct the problem and spread it with grass seed and straw. It goes from the house up to the mailbox at the top of driveway. We live in a valley.


Our house is being gobbled up by Ivy! Help!

Thankfully Buddy does not chase deer.

The diameter of the tree the freak tornato destroyed the other month.

The rest of the tree plus a sister tree that has been taken care of.

Back to the back. Lucy didn’t want to walk with us after much encouragement and promises of treats, so Buddy and I turned around and headed to the back door again.

And Buddy, Himself.

Buddy has so much energy for an older dog and loves our big spaces.



 So, we get to this lovely picture! ALYSSA AND JIMMY.❤️ Such a lovely couple, so suited to each other. Both high school teachers and teach at the same school. However our schools are huge and they probably don’t even see each other during the school day.  This is the tail end of her bridal shower that I was moaning about having to attend in my last post. (I am an introvert if you didn’t know already.). It was absolutely lovely. At a beautiful setting with a waterfall seen from the windows. About 60 women attended the catered event with cocktails and full course meal. WOW. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE GOING TO A WEDDING.❣️She received oodles of lovely gifts. I gave her a set of iron stone type dishes, white, that was on her registry. The wedding is June 22nd. Her sister, Lynsey, (who is graduating from college also in June) put on the whole shebang and did a lovely job. Nothing but the best for my son’s daughters.❤️ 


❤️ So there you have it.❤️
I hope you are also having happy moments.

The whole process was so transparent and swift. Gracias.

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 ...
