Happy St. Patrick's Day...
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck and happiness
For today and everyday...
May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you...~Irish Blessing~
I wish I could tell you my absence was due to being the winning recipient of the lottery or I've been vacationing at some distant tropical location, but alas it is not so... Winter continues to linger here in Maine...however...last week "we" were treated to temperatures nearing fifty degrees while under brilliant blue skies...
the snowshoes came out...
while the girls were treated to some much needed "dirt therapy"
Travis and I have been enjoying both morning and afternoon walks...
Oh the benefits of fresh air...fortunately for me, "ole granny" I can get Travis stripped of his winter wear and have him settled in his crib before he becomes fully awake...I too quickly settle myself in my easy chair and catch a few winks...
Sadie Puss has spring fever... in one door and out the other..this kitty does not know if she is coming or going..
Sadie seems to continually find herself on the wrong side of the door...
and at times in between doors...
The sunflowers and tulips purchased at Trader Joe's last week continue to hold their bloom...
My mom and I visited Trader Joe's this past Friday, another lesson learned... do not go to Trader Joe's on Fridays...it was busy...perhaps it is always busy... Trader Joe's is relatively new to our area so the novelty of its presence has not completely worn off...I've only shopped there a handful of times... I have just discovered that Friday is the day their fresh flowers and plants arrive...
This week my treat was three bunches of sunny daffodils at $1.69 apiece...While some of you laze in the warm sun, have the good fortune and weather to begin gardening... we here in the East continue to muddle through these late winter days...our snow is melting... the signs of spring may be subtle...but we know spring never skips it's turn...and yes... I have daffodils...I am thankful...for Tuesday... snow is headed our way...Oy Vey...
