Daffodils

 

I cannot get enough of the daffodils this spring season. They are beautiful and cheerful especially during a rainy day. Yesterday was dreary and drippy but the pops of yellow in the backyard were delightful to behold. In the mornings I'm confused on what to wear! Is it winter like or spring like. I change outfits because I'm too cold or too hot. 

How are you?

My dad is close to being transferred to a rehab facility, he is more than ready to get out of the hospital and so are we. Maybe it will happen today? I'm not sure how fast the process is but it's going to happen sooner than later. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes, we appreciate them immensely!

My week has been visiting him on most days and doing some intermittent knitting when I have some down time. I'm ready for the weekend.

    Daffodils are lovely and bright even when they are covered in raindrops! Sending all good thoughts and prayers that your dad is discharged to the rehab. facility soon.

    Echoing the well wishes for your Dad. May be be transferred speedily and easily! I love looking out and seeing the daffodils and now (as of yesterday) our forsythia in the front yard is showing color. Like you, I seem to change my clothes multiple times in a day!

    I love daffodils too. I was worried about ours because as soon as they started to bloom, out temps dropped back down into the teens at night. Thankfully that cold snap only lasted a few days and the daffodils look even stronger for it. They are blooming like crazy now. I'm so glad to hear your dad is doing better. I know you will all breathe a sigh of relief when he's out of the hospital. You all remain in my thoughts.

    Daffodils are the most delightful Spring flower. I continue to send prayers for your Dad's recovery.

    I love Daffodils and all spring flowers, but with all of our snow and cold temperatures, we don't have any flowers out in bloom here yet. I hope your dad will soon be in rehab and will continue his healing and recovery. Have a good weekend. :-)

    Jealous! We don't have anything popping out of the ground yet...maybe this week. Thanks for sharing the pictures so I can dream mine will be out soon. Happy knitting this weekend.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
