Super fun visit with the Delaneys today. I missed seeing them, so it was really great to catch up. The new house is amazing! It is just perfect. I’m so happy for them!!!
Delicious quiche during our visit. Terri is a really, really good cook! 🙂
Thought provoking, insightful, and hilarious conversations. ❤
Gorgeous, sunny warm weather.
Soft snow turning to soft mist coming down on greening new buds.
Cina, who is not only super fun to hang out with, but will drive me to Target. On a very regular basis. 😉
Jerilyn, who supplied us with dinner and made the evening so easy. And yummy. 🙂
Sara, for taking on so many new Skynote tasks, making the past couple weeks SO much easier. And for setting up the Meal Train for us, making the past couple weeks SO much easier. And for being a lively, lovely friend who makes my life better. 😀
Minnesota springtime. What a wonderfully interesting season with temperatures jumping all over the place, cloudy days followed by sunshine, rainy days followed by snow.
Enough energy to get the kitchen cleaned up today. I love my sunny clean kitchen — especially with that new backsplash. What a difference it makes!
Purring Luna. What a sweetheart.
Raw asparagus. What a yummy snack!
This afternoon’s wonderful walk. What gorgeous weather. There was a funny moment when all I could hear was the wind in the trees…no airplanes, no cars, no city sounds at all, not even any birds. It only lasted a few seconds, but I was so happy to notice it. My neighbors probably think I’m nuts for all the stopping and closing my eyes I do on my walks, but it’s worth it. 😀
More doodles. Dream, dare, do….odle. 😉
Friday
Fabulous meeting with John this morning. 🙂
Having the foresight to make stock ahead of time so I can make a quick, delicious soup by throwing in a few veggies. Mmmm.
Surprise visit from Katie and Cina. What a great start to the weekend! 😀
Saturday
Cuddly cats suddenly sprinting around the room. Hahaha!
Computer miracles – like laptops (2 of them!) coming back to life after being dead for many months.
All the coffee. All the chocolate. All of it. 😉
Sunday (today)
Finishing up tax stuff with plenty of time to celebrate Jeni’s birthday with my family AND go for a walk in the gorgeous weather before needing some rest.
My awesome neighborhood. Every time I go for a walk I find more wonderful and funny things like this awesome face and foot smiley guy and the sunburst in the sidewalk.
Everything about today’s walk. The sound of so many birds chattering, the smell of someone cooking outdoors (in March!), the feel of the sun and the wind on my face. Everything about it filled me with a deep sense of happiness.
Day 183. More literary fun – this time with Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books. “Oh waily, waily, waily!” So much goodness wrapped in silliness and fun.
Sharp pencils and big erasers.
Rain! Then sunshine! What a day. 😀
Funny, fickle winter. Warmish and cloudy one day, a foot of snow the next, colder and sunny right after that. I am happy to be working in my pjs this morning, sipping coffee and looking out a the marshmallow topped roofs in the alley. I will venture out in the warm (20º) afternoon. 😉
The amazing effect Qi Gong seems to be having on my sleep. Even though I stayed up late last night and only logged about 5 hours of sleep, it was a much better quality of sleep than I used to get. Cool!
Looking forward to seeing Debb and celebrating her birthday today! I love fun plans!
A lovely visit with Jeff & Maura last night. So great to have fun neighbors just a few steps away. A few really, really snowy steps. 😉 It was great to catch up and I got excellent tips on fun fruit, cabins in a box, and silent sneezing. 😀
The pretty view of snow on the fence when I walked home.
Fluffy light snow that makes shoveling doable. Sunshine that makes it necessary to stop shoveling long enough to take photos of the gorgeous shadows on the pristine snow. 🙂
A wonderful visit with Sarah and Ida at MIA. What a fun morning!
Springlike weather!
Somehow getting my newsletter out while it was still technically January, despite my surprise feline-emergency, sleep-deprived weekend. Thank you, past Diana, for creating an editorial calendar, and putting all that info in one place. 🙂
A lovely visit with Jeff yesterday. How fun – and still confusing 😉 – that he can just stop by. Pretty cool!
This morning’s little dusting of snow. How pretty!
Another short coloring meditation. I like the idea of choosing a word for the day – what a fun experiment!
