Dee, Dee, Dee, Dee....

Woke up to dark (5:00am) morning, sleet on the ground, still coming down, solar lights still shining brightly on the back deck---repeat--5:00am --- repeat---solar lights still on.  Blaming it all on the solar flare. Knew the flare would involve GPS and electrical disruptions but was not aware it would mess w/my solar lights. Really enjoyed the lights whatever the reason.

Mass this AM at 7:30am, home to eat, finish laundry (bedding), sweep, read/snuggle w/"boys", stay warm...nice.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Twas a Great Day...

And what to my wandering (truly wandering, not wondering) eyes did appear but a postman carrying a package w/some of my favorite eats---better known as NJ home made "Mama Marinara", Annies' organic Asian Sesame Dressing (also great for dipping), and Rosa Mexicano  Pomegranate Black Bean Salsa. All arrived intact and are featured in today's pic. One can only say--"Thanks to the Palumbo's."  It's like Christmas--okay kick it down a notch to a wonderful birthday treat.

Mass this AM, MD appt. (to evaluate my recent PT visits----I passed), Stations of the Cross this afternoon, home to do laundry, feed "boys" and listen to them bark, bark, bark. The weather has changed from sunny/windy to cloudy, temp dropping, possible rain and they are protesting (no, probably just barking).

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Spring is Coming

Mass this AM, ran lots of errands, out in the yard to take some flower pics, pick up the house, and enjoy the day. So wonderful to have the Spring flowers "pop" up and bloom. May have some Daffodil and Tulip pics in the near future.

Visited a local bulk feed and seed store on Saturday---picked up some Nasturium, Broom Corn seeds, and requested a search for ornamental Milo seeds. Plan to place a lot of plants in pots throughout the beds and refrain from deck pots---too much maintenance. That deck was made for sitting, resting, reading...not working.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Quiet Day

Some people come into our lives and quickly go... Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

Mass yesterday afternoon. Quiet day planned today---read, putz indoors (too windy and brisk outside), listen to some music, mess w/the "boys."

Mass for family on Tuesday, 8:00am @ St. Patrick.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Another Sunny Day

Mass this AM, volunteered at the rectory, PT appt. and home to putz and hang w/the"boys."  They are luving running in and out, barking up a storm (hopefully, not), and being under foot (or having Kat visit and pry them w/treats/apples---see above 2011 pic).

Sunny day, temp 76 degrees, and very slight breeze. Making a list of things to pick up for yardwork---top soil, mulch...

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Nice...

Sunshine, slight breeze...nice.

Trashmen carted away all of the ornamental grass cuttings.

Mass this AM, volunteered at rectory, errands, visited w/family, Stations of the Cross, home to feed and snuggle w/"boys"...nice.

All in all just plain nice today.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Here's Lookin' at U...

Stay safe, healthy and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Later in the day:
Eye treated/done. Need to use drops 4 times/day for 2 weeks. Thinking this will do the trick. Yea!

Love, Mom
