Wishes do come true

Yesterday I wished for a warmer day... and today we got one truly wonderful spring day. This one was without rain, hail or freezing wind, so I feel lucky indeed. We drug the plants from their semi protected winter places and placed them all around our driveway which we use as a patio with just enough room to park the vehicles without blocking the sidewalk. John rescued a dogwood tree from the dump (K called it the pound, haha) and we have given it a new home. I hope it does well. I can't believe someone just threw it in the dump. That kind of hurts my feelings. It feels good to be getting things cleaned up and ready to grow. The lilacs are going to bloom this year and all the hydrangeas are looking great. Now we have to figure out how to keep the deer from eating everything in sight.

I was able to spend some time at the library too, so it's been a very nice weekend. I do have a headache however. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with photo sensitivity. If I can't be in the sun I think I might die.

March must have been... something.

Hey, I'm back. It's been about a month and a 1/2 since I last blogged. I think March was stressful at least at work, which tends to influence the rest of my life. Considering I spend the majority of my life there it's no wonder that my creativity has come grinding to a halt and I've mostly been coming home watching TV and going to bed. It's been so long since I blogged that I couldn't even remember my blog account name... hahaha, stress does wicked things to the mind!!


There were however a few highlights in March. J had her art & cupcake party which was super fun for me. My friends came down from Portland to hang out and we all went to the coffee shop together. I was so happy that J & K could meet... you guys are too great! (Bummed I missed Kristine though, another time). J even made me my favorite kind of cupcake (cherry chip...OMG!) with fancy frosting and decorations. They were so pretty and the whole thing was great fun.

John also finished his final project & graduated.

After a long and cold/dreary winter, the cherry trees are blooming... this is one of my favorite things of all time. Seeing the petals snow down and cover the road and then the wind blowing them around makes me happy. While we were driving up I-5, we had to stop along the road to take a picture of the beautiful daffodils. Now if it would only get warmer... Happy spring!!
