Glad

I am so glad you stopped by to visit.  We have been enjoying the unusual February weather.  Today it was in the 50's and sunny.

We took a long walk...

Counted over 15 squirrel nests around the place...

Visited the old apple tree...

Spotted Mrs. Tufted Titmouse.  She apparently was enjoying the nice weather.

Last but not the least; we had a nice sit on the swing.  Truly glad you stopped by to see us.  May all of you have a week of gladness!

Overwhelmed

How many of you feel a wee bit overwhelmed with the return of nice weather?

Yes, it is wonderful not to have to wear a coat and boots.  Great awaking to the sound of bird song out the window.

Lovely to sip morning coffee enjoying the garden after a long winter nap.

All of these make the season of spring welcome.

However, I find myself running from task to task.  Torn between taking time to capture what is blooming...

to preparing the garden for more blooms.

Then there is the indoor chores that need finished.  Seems like when the sun starts shining and the days grow longer one seems to see how much dirt clings to nooks and crannies that have gone unnoticed during the colder months.

Ah such is life at this time of the year.  

Perhaps I need to take a lesson from these two...sit a spell and quietly accept that not everything must be done at once.  There is no reason why some things cannot wait.

 Maybe visit the swing...

"Look Up" and enjoy God's Amazing Sunrise.

Guess I found the cure for being overwhelmed.

How about you?  Do you have a cure too?  Hope you will share. 

Have a blessed week!

Month's End

Today marks month's end.

July brought us quiet afternoons for swing sitting...

lovely lilies blooming in spite of summer's heat...

fields of clover,

 Queen Anne's Lace,

and those first ripening tomatoes.

Last but not least beautiful sunsets.

Hope  your month's end brought you special gifts as well.
