Some thoughts

 

1.  I feel the change coming!!!  No!  Not that change…that has come and gone.  No…the change of season!!!  The light is so different these days!  I revel in it!!!  I see my chairs outside circled around the fire pit, just waiting for me to spend a glorious hour in the sun.  How long must I wait for the snow to melt?  Today is still cold and very windy, but I can smell Spring.  I can hardly wait.  It seems ages since Mr. Sun didn’t wake until after 7 am and left us around 4:30 pm every day.  Our days, when sunny, are gloriously warm and full of promise.  I yearn to sink my fingers into the earth and feel the cool dampness.  We have plans for veggie gardens and also for flower gardens.  I have about  a million Snowbell bulbs to relocate, as well as Gladioli and Tulips.  I also have to dismantle the existing flower bed and transplant some of the flowers to the front flower  bed.  And, finally, I hope to get the narrow flower bed next to the garage and front door rejuvenated and planted with Hollyhocks and something else (can’t decide what else).  I can’t wait!!!  The earth is waking and I can’t wait to welcome her.

 

 

2.  I just helped Heidi with her Algebra I….the question was something about square roots.  As she tried to figure the problem out from one direction I showed her how to approach the problem from the other direction.  Easy enough, but the real joy comes from seeing my kids figuring this stuff out.  That look they have when  they “get it” is priceless and I have had the privilege for their whole school career.  What fun!  I wouldn’t pass up homeschooling for anything in the world!  It hasn’t always been easy, but it has always been a blessing.  Does that make sense?  

 

3.  In just one month Mark and I will have known each other for 24 years.  24 YEARS!!!!  Wow.  We met in the Roswell Christian Science Church on April 9th, 1989 and were married just 3 months later on July 14th.  I can’t even imagine being without him.  No, he’s not some kind of awesome prince of a man……he can be aggravating and god knows he was a bachelor for FAR, FAR, too long!  LOL  For 24 years, though, he has come home to me…..he works hard to provide for his family…….he is funny…..and very, very clever………and he loves me.   No matter what has happened in our life together, he loves ME!  ME!  I am humbled. 

 

 

 

What more do we need, when someone loves us, really….REALLY loves us….we have everything.
