It's the little things that make me happy! As this shut down comes toward an end As businesses start to reopen I wonder who decides what is "essential"! Short hair seems to grow over night Needs to be trimmed at least every six weeks Hubby trimmed Then snipped Then cut I clipped I chopped I complained! Finally  My wonderful Beautician is open and found time for me Mask on face Temperature taken All clear and ready A fresh haircut and breathe of air!

There are some killdeers that have built their nest in our neighbor's rock garden - well hidden and protected and yet out in the open. Several years ago, we noticing some birds (type unknown to us) trying to build a nest on the downspout.  Hubby decided to help them out and built a small structure that they could put all their twigs in.  They have been coming back each year and this year it is so packed full that we're not sure how they can even get into the shelter, but they do.

As I walked this afternoon, I kept trying to come up with a post, but kept going back to Ruth's message about words.  I thought why not try to list a word that I relate to, for each letter of the alphabet.  So here goes: A - Adorable B - Beautiful C - Courteous D - Delightful E - Energetic F - Fabulous G - Grand H - Hilarious I - Inviting J - Joyful K - Kind L - Loving M - Mother N - Neat O - Open P - Positive Q - Questioning R - Restful S - Superb T - Terrific U - Undaunting V - Variety W - Wonderful X - (e)xciting Y - Yellow Z - Zany And as I look at this list of words, my mind focuses on "M - Mother".  My Mother's attributes are covered in each of these words.  Even though she is no longer with us, I still can hear her voice and feel her presence.  Happy Mother's Day, Mom, and to all of you Mothers out there.
