Sitting…outside on the front stoop.
Eating…apple slices.
Watching…my granddaughter play. She’s pushing a bubbleless bubble mower around the front yard, singing, “Go this way! Walkie oh walkie…”
Also watching…the world go by.
Feeling…thankful for spring. I know some of you aren’t quite there yet (so sorry, Minnesotans), but we are, and I’m enjoying this blessing from God. I’m also thankful for my big front yard and the bush across the street, both good for exploring.
Happy…to be at the end (I hope) of the two illnesses that hit my family members, including me, over the last few week. Youngest son was the last one to get sick and he’s back to work today (finally!). I’m not sure how we managed to pick up two viruses causing in-bed sickness in one month, but we did. Easter weekend my oldest granddaughter came down with a case of pneumonia but thanks to a dose of antibiotics, she’s all better now.
Leaving…for a minute to unstick a 2-year-old’s bubble mower.
Noting…that I saw the first crocuses of the year while walking the dog this afternoon.
Remembering…30 years ago today, when my youngest daughter was born. She was born with a full head of 4 or 5 inch long dark brown hair that stuck straight up on top.
Thirty years ago tonight it was was -25 and there was a bit of a blizzard. No crocuses out in 1984.
Hoping…you are enjoying spring. And if you don’t have it yet, here’s hoping you have it soon.
Saying…goodbye.
Going…inside to start supper.

How funny! My youngest daughter was also born with the same hairdo and she turns 30 this year too. It must have been something in those ginormous prenatal vitamins in 1984.
