|Springing along & pea soup. |

| tuesday |

good morning.

I could not post yesterday.

There was simply too much to do!

First 65 degree day in , like forever!

So I cleaned & sorted and tossed and gardened and

scrubbed.

It was glorious!

I am also excited to be on the road to better health.

Hygge was wonderful.

{ and I shall do it again after the holidays next year }

Things that I learned:

* I still love reading...more than ever.

{ completed that stack of books in no time! }

* Introspection is a great healer.

{ I came to realize, after some thought- that I have allowed others to

abuse my kindness, I also realized that I hoarded mittens...

I lessened my life of both things.}

* Hygge was the perfect time to have my surgeries

{ already had the cozy down & the tea & magazines! }

*Life is better with balance

{ looking back, had I not done this, I would

still be stuck in some areas of my life...I feel freer and lighter

and truly excited for the future}

I will make this a necessary part of my life from now on.

Like an Rx for my soul.

It is freeing, like tossing off a heavy blanket.

Into a bustling Springtime of expectations & events & happiness....

{ my lavender chicks come soon! }

Also-

I am  waiting for 3 people to have their baby girls..

{ yep, they are all girls}

&

of course April the giraffe to have hers as well.

Not sure if it is a boy or girl though...

trying to resist the urge to buy all the new babies

Sophie the Giraffe dolls.,...

;)

LOL!

Yesterday I also cleaned out the coops & hung up our new Rachel

"autographed" prints from he Chicken Chick.

New lace curtains and a new magnolia wreath & it was

ready for the new season.

Up at the country house we walked about, greeted the fishermen

{ it was opening season}

and looked for nests.

There are so many different ones...

this one is next to the barn..all fresh & new.

 It gives me so much hope.

and excitement.

Springtime means peas & ramps!

Perfect after a day of "nesting"

Here's to another lovely weather day kittens!

Wise words of the day:

xxx ooo

*count those blessings!
