As I was awaken this morning , the sun was there to greet me and we are about to enjoy our warmest day of the week, today. Days like this are meant to be enjoyed until the summer breezes and warm days finally settle in. I will be ever so glad to see winter come to a rest...I am thinking I should take a few spring and Easter objects from storage and tuck in between my sentiments of a gentle era of time past existing in my home..After many thoughts of thinking we should be doing something different after retirement we found ourselves so much more happy just to have our little existing house in the country, very modest, but surrounded by little offerings we love... Many love the excitement and adventure of travel but I find myself captured with the feeling of warmth and simplicity that breathes here at .... "Home Sweet Home." We will have our back yard pretty well torn up for approximately a month sometime this summer... we are thinking about August...to remove our old in ground pool and have it replaced with a new one. It was a decision we made when we realized we were not as content any other place as we were right here.. The existing pool is 35 years old and we are starting to have problems... and since we both love it so much the decision was made to bury money once again.... We will most likely may not get to enjoy it too much this year but the mess needs to be to get it completed... My feet may leave home for a few hours but my heart is always at home...
The threat and already visual and reality of rising prices at food markets, beef, produce and the dreaded gas pumps and many other make me ever so glad I find contentment within our acres... Soon we will be able to plant our garden and reap it's harvest for a couple months as we enjoy the veggies and the special feeling of walking to the garden...
It has been a very troubling time and the saddening of the heart as we view the happenings across the ocean... what these people would not give for one of the luxuries we are enjoying right this very moment... This makes me once again so aware of what I have and I can't say "Thank You" enough and find so much comfort and contentment in my everyday life... Yes.... I am counting my blessings.....

My heart goes out to the people of Japan. My mind cannot wrap itself around this awful time.
I am always looking for lace. I have a few projects that I want to do. Our lives can change at any moment, that we are here sharing and enjoy each other is a blessing.
Hugs, Mary
