Marching On

March roared in like a Lion! 

Thankfully it is "marching on" and Spring is in the air!

I can't even tell you how much of a relief that is to me ...

February felt like a year.

The world seemed and seems to be spinning in the wrong direction

and out of control.

My dear ones said good-bye to their beloved Macie Merlot,

a faithful and gentle companion for 13 years.

It's time to think happy thoughts, get my motivation back,

and get out of the Winter "slump" I've been in.

And, perhaps, stop watching the news?

New wheels and bare roads - what more could a gal ask for?

Porch sunrises and watching the snow disappear - gratefulness and hope!

A second blooming of the Christmas cactus?

It's happy too ...

St. Patrick's day. A delightful time spent with friends at a cute little spot with live music.

Spring came one day early - too soon for the porch cushions perhaps

but so enjoyed non-the-less!

Sorry if I am to blame for the cold rain and SNOW that came the next day!

By the way, the snow melted and all is as it should be -

unpredictable Spring weather.

Thinking ahead for an upcoming two week adventure in May.

Laying out and trying on some summery clothes that hopefully still fit - eek!

Do you practice packing by spreading things out on the bed?

Much editing will be needed here in order to travel as lite as possible.

These two make Spring even brighter.

Thank you God for these blessings, for longer days, and sunshine!

The hockey season is coming to a sudden close.

A very good season for both grandchildren.

Much credit to their doting dad who creates a huge backyard rink each year!

It doesn't get more Canadian than this.

As March sputters out somewhat like a wet lamb,

it's time to look up and ahead

and maybe get some Spring cleaning and unfinished projects

completed too. 

Blessings to you as we reflect and prepare for these very Holy days before Easter.

God is so Good!

Till next time ... hug each other just a little tighter
