You just have to take one day at a time or things get out of hand.\u00a0 If I take the time to think about tomorrow, I start getting tired because today is not finished yet.\u00a0 One day passes after another and suddenly you look up and a week, a month, a year has passed and you wonder where it went.\u00a0\u00a0 Time is going faster.\u00a0 I truly believe it is.\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n

I am blessed that my days are full.\u00a0 I have something to look forward to and work to accomplish.\u00a0 What would life be without work?\u00a0 Work is invigorating.\u00a0\u00a0 I love work.\u00a0 I learned a good\u00a0 work ethic from my mother and father who were certainly not afraid to work.<\/p>\n

We are having more new windows installed this Spring.\u00a0\u00a0 Today the contractor came and nothing was happening so I went outside and the contractor was looking at windows that were not going to fit.\u00a0 I felt for him.\u00a0 His day was not starting out very well, but I just knew it would all work out.\u00a0 They were special order windows, too, so he was worried that the lumberyard would not take them back.\u00a0 I told him I would pray for him.\u00a0\u00a0 He left and later in the morning he came back with a smile upon his face.\u00a0 The lumberyard had taken them back and ordered the larger windows and gave us the discount we had gotten on the first windows.\u00a0\u00a0 Anyway, we got one window replaced in our livingroom and tomorrow they are replacing one in my shop.\u00a0 We only have\u00a0seven more windows to replace.\u00a0 Next year.\u00a0 This old house may get done one day.\u00a0 I tell David we are sure making a nice house for the next owners.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0758\"<\/p>\n

This is the first sunrise I have seen in a long time.\u00a0 I\u00a0am a late sleeper and miss these beautiful scenes.\u00a0 I had to get up to let the contractors in so up I got.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0738\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember last post I told about the lady who sent me all the material?\u00a0 There were pieces\u00a0like this already made for a large\u00a0Dresden Plate.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0735\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Piles of pieces for\u00a0Dresden Plate blocks.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0733\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Such cute fabric.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0732\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This fabric had chickens on it.\u00a0 Yay.\u00a0 I will cut some of my fabric and put it with her fabric and make a Dresden Plate quilt.\u00a0 But first, I have three other quilts I have to finish.\u00a0 I am trying to get some of my quilts done.\u00a0 Quilts that have been laying around for months and some even years.\u00a0 I also am making doll quilts to use up my little pieces of fabric.\u00a0 I may sell some, I don’t know.\u00a0 Just love piecing them and all the cute fabrics I am using in them.<\/p>\n

The garden is looking so pretty.\u00a0 Every morning there are new surprises.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0755\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flowering crabapple is glorious.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0753\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can see it from my front window.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0756\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or sitting on my front porch.\u00a0 See the lilac bush?\u00a0 It is loaded with lilacs and smells heavenly.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0750\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN0749\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A new snowball bush I planted on the north side of the porch.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0748\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Planted three azaleas like these.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0751\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I looked out my back door and saw what looked like a little tree, but it’s really a columbine.\u00a0 Don’t know how it grew like this, but it is interesting.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0745\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Can’t you almost smell these right from the screen?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0744\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I bring in big bouquets of these and the house smells so good!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0740\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The azalea that I didn’t think would grow here.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0742\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Isn’t God good?\u00a0 Look at this beautiful bunch of lilacs.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0757\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This little solar hen lights the garden at night.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0730\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Molly sits in her chair and guards the backyard.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0731\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No one gets this seat but her.\u00a0 I love this dog.\u00a0 She is getting sweeter every day.\u00a0 Not as many Tasmanian Devil antics where she would suddenly start biting. \u00a0She loves being with me. And I love being with her.\u00a0 I love just sitting and petting her.\u00a0 I knew she would make a good companion.\u00a0\u00a0 David and I saw a huge Mastiff at Rural King yesterday.\u00a0 I just saw it out of the corner of my eye and jumped and David laughed.\u00a0 I thought someone was leading a pony through Rural King.\u00a0 I pet her and she was so gentle.\u00a0 “This is my next dog,” I told David who I had told only a few months ago that Molly would be our last big dog.\u00a0 Ha.\u00a0 I knew that wouldn’t last long.<\/p>\n

Here’s to new windows, quilting, Spring bouquets and sweet dogs.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n
