These days, though, I keep finding myself totally worn out at the end of the day, and, yet, it is so nice to look back over these days and see actual accomplishments. It seems ridiculous that these normal, average activities SHOULD wear me out, but there has to be more to aging than these wrinkly legs and droopy jowls..........HA !
ANYWAY, .......... today hubby and I got a couple of coats of paint onto the 4 porch posts that were left unpainted when the porch roof was built. It is pressure-treated lumber and had to 'cure'. We painted them white, and still want to put a third coat on them another day.
After that, we managed to get the front yard mowed.
The pretty white and purple carpet of tiny flowers has been replaced by a beautiful, lush carpet of spring green.
I don't know why God blesses us so, but I'm awfully thankful that he does. The Irises are ready to bloom any day, and they look like they're all going to be deep blue-purple. I re-worked the Iris beds last Fall..........last Spring most of the few blooms that I had were that burgundy color. which I really don't like ! But this year I'm thrilled !
And my Daisies have started blooming again. These are the wild Daisies that I rescued from the side of a highway. I also have taller, bigger-blooming Daisies that will be blooming a bit later in the year.
My backing fabric arrived yesterday, and when I layed it in the floor with the scrappytripalong top, you would have thought that I designed the one based on the other. They're wonderful together ! I do dread basting a 72 x 96 inch quilt all by myself, but as Scarlett said........." I'll think about that tomorrow".
Anything made you really happy today?
Happy today because my children are safe and healthy in a world gone crazy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the wonders we are blessed with! Have a great day!
happy today because I got to have lunch with my hubby, on the flip side that means he's working the late shift and won't be home til morning (boo)
