Appreciations Year Three: Day 243

Giraffe-closeup-headEnough of a break from the dizziness to get some stuff done! Yay!

Delicious lamb chop dinner made by and shared with the lovely and talented Sarah. How wonderful to spend a little time with the Duncan girls! Yes, Stela, you, too. 😉

Baby steps into cooking for myself (other than toast, I mean!). So far: I looked up how to make pot roast in a crock pot. Hey, it’s a start! 😛

Giraffes, witches, camp fires, harmony, quilts, azaleas, satisfied smiles.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 242

Sweet rainy Sunday morning. How cozy it feels!

Looking forward to seeing Sarah & Ida today!!

The playful people who populate my life. 🙂

Unicorns, unicycles, seasons, growth, cinnamon, tea, jazz cats, lilacs, caterpillars.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 239

The joy of reconnecting with and playing with my JimmyD pals. Just the best. ❤

The sounds of springtime walks.  I love the ebb and flow of sounds, one moment filled with cars going by, planes flying overhead, passersby talking, birds singing, wind blowing; the next moment a sudden lull with only the sound a my feet on the sidewalk, one lone bird calling out. It never gets old.

Flowers! So many flowers coming up!

Finding the fairly easy-to-rectify reason for my recent fatigue and tendency to get out of breath.  Time for some iron supplementation. 😉

Water, fire, earth, air.  🙂

Spring flowering tree 2015Mckenzie’s so-far, so-good recovery!

Gorgeous weather for a walk.

This beautiful flowering tree. So pretty and it smells amazing!

The empty plastic bag I found caught on a twig at the beginning of my walk. So helpful. I keep meaning to bring one on my walks to pick up trash as I go, but I keep forgetting. Thanks, wind. Thanks, tree. 😉

Looking forward to another round of JimmyD classes starting tonight! 😀

Appreciations Year Three: Day 237

First crocuses apring 2015First crocus of the season in my own yard! Hello, beautiful.

Friendly and helpful doctors, nurses, and other folks at every turn today.

Smooth sailing through all of today’s events.

Nap time!!

Wonderful and uplifting chat with Terri, who always brightens my day. Love! ❤

Early bedtime. Hahaha – it’s all about sleep, baby!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 236

Brilliant rehearsal with musical improv group.  I can hardly believe how much fun it is. 🙂

Fabulous afternoon with Alison.  How is it that she manages to make a sunny day even sunnier?! ❤ Good thing I had my sunglasses. 😎

fairy responseGetting to be a fairy with Katie — and how insanely prepared we are for such a thing. 😉 Since it’s our next door neighbor, we even got to see her excited smile as she ran back to the house yelling, “Mama! Mama!”  What a gift.  And we’ll get to keep doing this for however long she is interested!  Looks like it is going to be an awesome summer. 😀

Nice little evening thunderstorms.

Chat with my bro on his birthday (extra bonus – getting to see a video of him receiving herbs fines from Melanie & Andy).  I like my family so much! 🙂

Emoticons, apparently. 🙄

Ferns, fairies, feathers, french fries, felines.
