Young at heart

Hello Friends ~ Here's a little video that really inspired me today. Actually, there were several on this you-tube channel that spoke to me.  Enjoy and be encouraged!

More to celebrate

Good morning folks ~ it is another very warm and humid day. It's around 10:30 EST 86 degrees, real feel 98 degrees. I worked outside earlier, for about an hour, that's all I could handle. I trimmed some star jasmine and a few other things. I cut back a schefflera that is in the front hedge row, probably was up to about 10ft. I huffed and puffed and finally got that finished. I used a pole cutter, a tree saw, a lopper and my hand clippers. There is more to trim in that hedge, several different plants, all in good time. I got a late start this morning. I'll be so glad when we finally get cooler weather down here. Right now there is a blue sky, clouds zipping along in a stiff breeze. More rain is expected.

I want to share more reasons I have to celebrate this life I've been blessed with.

 

The baby blanket is finished. Just have to wrap and box it up to mail.

That's it for now. I've had lunch and my eyelids are growing heavier by the minute. Time for a refreshing nap.

May you all stay well, enjoy your days, and find the beauty in your lives.

Celebrating the little things

Good morning Friends ~ September sure zipped on by. Some of you are really feeling fall temperatures, while down here in s.e. FL it is still hot and humid. We've also had rain, rain and more rain for several days now, with more expected this week.

In this time of isolation it has been hard to really celebrate the life that we are now living. We can easily be pulled down into a funk, and it can be hard to get back out of. Then something lovely like the sun shining through lace curtains or stained glass can make one feel thankful.

 

 

 Doing little projects like getting rid of the microwave that I didn't use except for storage has made a difference in the scullery. 

 

  as did making curtains for the cabinet that one door came off and I couldn't get it back on, and for under the little counter top that the bread machine is sitting on.

 Below are pics of before and after of one of my procrastination areas. I'm ashamed to show the first, but it's part of who I am. It has been so nice to keep this cleaned up each night, although I have had some lapses in doing so 'every' night.

 

This was taken a couple of nights ago and ist is such a joy to wake up to this in the mornings, rather than the disaster of the above photo.

 

I am having issues with blogger this morning. So will make this short.

I will close with the following picture.

 Will work on another post later.  Have a great day 'celebrating' the little things.
