Resting, Relaxing, Reading & Weeding Weekend...

Jim has been resting today.  He's had some tremors today.  We have had a lot of sofa time at our house in the past year and a half.  I've pulled weeds, watered, read, tried to nap and moved a bit of furniture around. 

It's time for spring flowers.  Last week the roses were brilliant; they need a little break and will be brilliant again.  So we'll go for geraniums and a real live sweet potato I grew in the house this winter.   


Yellow Coreopsis - It has some growing power!


I moved the wicker chairs to the front and found chairs for the patio. 

Just a little welcome at the front door.
And that is all for today.  A cool breeze started blowing in the
back window.  Always welcome.
Scout and Coco have found something else to bark at.  Birds singing, winds blowing or a noise at the neighbors.  Ever on the alert.  For those who can handle it, I found our two dogs and the cat having a morning snack on Friday.  The bird was just not quick enough to get away.
I can barely handle it, but they are hunters, however, they do not waste what they kill.
Life is always changing; always challenging -- we are always called upon to
rise to the situations we face.  We want to face them with grace and courage.  We
know so many who are facing many things and they show grace under fire.
No matter what you are facing - do not forget to smile or better yet - laugh
out loud.  It makes you and everyone around you feel better...most of all it
makes you feel you can stand up and get moving again.

At least they shared the kill! I would have liked to have seen that. Sophie saying, "You guys just need to become more like cats." I love your porches. So welcoming and inviting -- just like you and Jim. Continuing to pray.
Love you bunches,
Lisa

Kathryn....just as always, your home is so welcoming! Oh the color in those flowers could almost make me want to move to New Mexico...LOL:)
I am thankful that you could putter about and do the things you love, the things you do so beautifully in your home.

Thank you for the update on Jim and for letting "THE" light shine through your life and example. Lots o'love, joyce
