Busy

We had so much going on today The Husband decided to take a vacation day from work.  When that happens on a Friday it throws me way out-of-balance. Consequently it felt like Saturday tomorrow.  Who knows what tomorrow will feel like.

These will be even lovelier in a week or two!

We got haircuts, delivered a vacation brochure, went for our biometric blood drawing (The Husband's bruise will be bigger than mine), bought two snow shovels (being prepared, don't often get up in that area of the valley and that Ace is the only place that carries the shovels the snow-shovel-picky Husband likes), got annuals from Home Depot, planted almost all of the flowers, finally picked up my car, sprayed weeds with Killz-all, picked up 70 pinecones (at $.05 apiece I earned $3.50; sorry grandchilluns you missed out on this money), and it wasn't even dark yet!

It was a productive day punctuated with laughter, hugs, and sneezes.

My car looks (and smells) great, they even "detailed" the inside. The price was what was quoted. And done pretty much on time.  If we ever need body work again, we'll go there.

Today is our oldest daughter's birthday.  How blessed we are to have her in our family.  We celebrate her birth with joy.

And finally, my gratitude today is for the beauty of this earth.  We are so privileged.
