More Daffodils

Here are some happy things from today:

  • Last night I slept, better than I expected, on my friend's couch in Maine.  This morning we went out for a nice breakfast followed by a little more cleaning of the house.  It was a very nice visit.  I wish I had remembered to take some pictures.
  • On the drive home we went by a pond that I noticed a beaver hut in.  The interesting part is that there was a tree that seemed to be growing out of the beaver hut.  Again, I wish I had been able to take a picture.  The hut seemed to be in the middle of the pond.  I wonder if the water was just really high and the hut was closer to land than it appeared. 
  • At home, the daffodils are blooming!



  • In the evening, Zed and I briefly attended a small gathering of people who were talking about death.  It was called the Death Cafe.  We arrived late enough that we didn't hear too many stories.  I wasn't comfortable enough to share anything.  Maybe if I attend another, I will be.  It isn't a support group.  It seems more like a safe place to discuss death and dying.

Snow Day

Happy things for Saturday: When I woke up in the early pre-dawn morning, the snow was reflecting all the light it could find.  It was pretty, from the inside of the house.  I went back to sleep. Later in the day the snow turned to rain.  Through the window, it was still pretty outside.  Keziah didn't open the store because of the storm. Today was a day that mostly included resting.  I stayed inside.  Some of the few things I accomplished include making dinner, dishes, laundry, and cleaning out one of my drawers.  I even found a few things that aren't going back into the drawer, yay! Zed went out late in the day and picked up some garlic bread to go with lasagna.  He also went to Crumbl and picked up some cookies.  They were delicious cookies.

Happy Wednesday things: Yesterday, I forgot to write that I am the Safety Committee Member of the Month.  This means I have the number one parking spot at work until the end of June. On Monday I started to consider the reality that my car gets really hot in the sun.  This prompted me to consider ways of covering the gear shift knob.  Rather than spending money, I decided to use an old sock.  Before going to work I pulled down my basket of unpaired socks.  I found a holey pair and one of them is now over my gear shift knob.  The other half of that pair is in the car waiting for a purpose.   It works for now.  I should stitch it. And, I took the time to look for matches and have put away NINE pairs of socks.  These tasks took time, and almost made me late for work.  Good thing I have the prime parking spot!  😉 I like socks... After work I went looking through my piles of boxes in an attempt at downsizing, or at least sortin...

Happy things from today: On Monday we went to Ikea.  The van has served as the storage unit for our purchases until this morning.  After emptying the van we went to DIY Craft and Thrift for some paints.  Having a daughter who owns a crafting thrift store has benefits.  Today that benefit was taking home a lot of paint (before the store officially opened) and I'll be able to return what isn't used so she can sell it.   While at the store, one of the artists was in the building with their dog, Jazzy.  Jazzy was extremely happy to see me.  She followed us around the store and kept politely asking me for pets.   Photo courtesy Keziah Keziah and I ran some errands and then we started painting.  The stairway is now the only area that still needs another coat of white.  I didn't look at the clock much, but it was after eight in the evening when I stopped for the night.  I think the painting is roughly ⅔ of the way done.  Kez...
