As I type this the rain is still falling. It has been a weird week with so many weather alerts. Thankfully no tornado activity reached us. However, I feel for those in other places who suffered loss and damage. Disturbing photos told of the awful destruction from such terrible storms. I cannot imagine what it must be like to lose your home and all its contents. With the excessive rain there is now dangerous flooding in many communities. Will be happy when better spring days get here.

Spring Mood
With the great weather the past few days I have been outside more, and my mood has definitely improved. Yesterday I removed leaves from the flowerbeds and noticed there's hope for returning plants.
While I wait for real blooms on the outside, I enjoy these artificial ones inside.
As always I've been rearranging...a never-ending practice that keeps me happy. The two grapevine wreaths are hiding that crazy outlet that's in the wrong place above the mantel.

Hard Week
I have been cleaning out some of his childhood toys, books, baby clothes, etc. A few other items I've saved for some future time. More than likely he won't keep them. I am having to realize that items that meant so much to me back then don't have the same sentiment for him. That's a hard lesson for this mother to learn.
Little boys become men. And that is good, but sweet little boy memories remain.

Ordinary Days
There's a lot to love about such days. Quiet morning time is especially nice. Having a light breakfast with coffee is a lovely routine. No rushing. Time for puttering. Time to read or watch a TV program.

Warmth
Warmer temps are on the way. Yeah!!
I have been a homebody during February's frigid days. However, I haven't minded that much since I've had books, magazines, and art to pass the time.

Odds and Ends
Scenes from home to let you know I'm still here. Hope you enjoy the notes.
Brown dishes are back on the dining room table.
