SOL #8 – 3/8/12 Spring is Here!



It’s been a hot topic for slices, so I thought I’d add my feelings on this season.

Daffodils blooming
            Bradford Pear Trees a mass of white
                        Forsythias turning yellow
                                    Grass starting to grow

A southern breeze blowing warm air
            Trees with a tinge of green
                        Birds all aflutter
                                    Longer days

A time of new beginnings
            A time to be refreshed
                        A time to be thankful
                                    A time to look to the future

Can it be? 
Is it too soon to hope? 

Spring is here!

    Wow - real signs of spring! I loved: "Trees with a tinge of green." Also liked how you moved from the obvious signs of spring to thinking about new beginnings, being refreshed, and looking ahead. A great reminder! (PS I wrote about spring too today! It is a hot topic!)

    You are a poet too! I love the way the lines stair step. I just noticed the Bradfords around us have also started blooming. Boom! Springing forward. I hope we don't have a snap of winter biting back. Very nice!

    Daffodils are my favorite, favorite, favorite! We are still a few weeks away though! Thanks for this reminder that spring is just around the corner.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

SOS #26 - 10/1/20 - Little Pieces of Magic that have appeared in my life recently

Image
  We hear so much negativity and doubt that many become depressed in our country at this time.  It's time for us to look to the positive and find the magic that surrounds us.  Here's my list of Magic that I've discovered recently. A phone call from a friend I hadn't heard from in a while A text message wishing me a great day A positive reply to my "thought for the day" for Michelle & girls A hug or two or three from Hubby.  And some hugs given to special friends. The delight in creating a greeting card to send to someone who needs lifting up The cool morning to take a long walk and contemplate the coming of Fall The turning of the leaves A beautiful sunrise and sunset with a full moon rising in the sky Shutting off the A/C and opening up the windows The smiles we can see in the eyes of those who wear masks Talking with a special 98 year old friend who looks forward to my weekly calls The sound of the wind chimes (they were given to us many years ago by Mic...
