Gratitude
Hello! Good morning! How are you?
After arriving home from our little getaway to see the grands, I caught up on rest and sleep within 48 hours. There is nothing like your own bed to help ease back into 'ordinary' time. I am doing all the boring things and missing the grandchildren.
All of a sudden, spring is here. The trees are mostly leafed out and so many flowers are blooming in the neighborhood. Of course, the weather became hot, hinting at summer days ahead. For now I'm enjoying the spring.
The month of May reminds me of my paternal grandmother who absolutely loved this month and all of the flowers her children would buy her on Mother's Day and then again on her birthday. Her yard was teeming with spring bulb plants.
My husband is mostly done with replacing the deck flooring. He enjoyed the project and wants to get back to regular job tasks. We have done a lot in updating this house. We have more to do but the list gets easier.
The deck is looking great and will be so wonderful to use this summer. Such beautiful blossoms and lovely plants. May is such a lovely month that is always full of beauty.
ReplyDeleteThat deck is looking good! You'll have to celebrate with a cookout.
ReplyDeleteI love your gratitude pages. Such a great practice
ReplyDeleteI love spring, too; it's so nice to see flowers back in bloom, isn't it? Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteWonderful deck! That will be a nice place to sit and write in your gratitude journal.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific job on the deck. That will be a nice place to be in the coming months - you know before July and August. I love the story about your grandmother and the month of May.
ReplyDeleteYour journal pages always inspire me - thank. you for sharing! and those azaleas are stunning!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so inspiring. The flowers are beautiful. How nice that you got to spend so much quality time with the kids and grands....I hope the week without knitting allows you to knit as much as you want now. have a good week!
ReplyDeleteYour deck looks great! I love your spring flowers, and the gratitude list. I make a gratitude list in my journal every morning. It really helps to focus on the good. So glad you got to go visit your grandchildren. Have a great week. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteYou've got beautiful flowers and the deck is looking good! I need to figure out what to do with our azaleas. They are about 5 feet tall and the tops are covered in blooms but the sides and bases are very dead and ugly. Need to learn how to prune them.... then need to actually do the pruning.
