Springtime Thoughts



This little guy was out and about earlier this week catching the sun's rays.  I think he only just woke up and he seemed slow.  Frodo never even saw him! Frodo might be losing his hunting instincts ;)

Today I'm grateful for:

-budding trees and bushes everywhere, spring has exploded in 48 hours
-the cooler weather returning-it was a little too hot this week
-birds singing and my the robins are in abundance
-returning to a summerish menu-with so many vegetables in each meal
-light jacket wearing days with non winter boot shoes 
-my fiestaware-I smile whenever I eat!
-savoring my smallish knitting projects while daydreaming of larger to be projects
-daytime that lasts past dinner time for a quick walk
-fictional books that transport me to another time, place and entertain me

what are you grateful for?

have a great weekend everyone!!

  2. I am grateful our weather didn't get as bad yesterday as we were expecting. We were under a tornado warning for a while (grateful for our storm shelter), but thankfully we only got lots of rain and wind.

  3. I wouldn't know where to start... :)
    But looking outside I can say I'm grateful for the rain last night that washed much of the crazy thick layer of pollen away that was covering everything.

    A friend of mine has fiestaware, it's really lovely. I always find it fun to make a new color combination every time I go for dinner.

  12. So lovely to hear spring is starting to gear up. The snake has very pretty markings. It's funny, we live in the middle of a forest, but we very rarely see snakes here. Jacinta

  13. We grew up eating on fiesta ware. When it was my brothers turn to do the dishes he would stack them all in color order and it would drive my mother crazy. After a while he would do it just because. We always know when he's been home for a visit. All you have to do is look in her cupboards!

  14. Oh my - what a slippery little thing...I can't blame him though.

  15. Oh my, I think I'd run away if I saw him, even if he is harmless! I love fall so much that I forget how lovely spring is every time it comes around. It's really special here, since it's such a short time before we launch into a really hot summer. I am savoring it!
