Happy, Happy…(it is Wednesday, isn’t it?)

So, it’s a beautiful day. Sunny and warm. Just like spring should be in “The Sunshine State”.

I potted some red geraniums on the front porch a couple of days ago…I LOVE red geraniums…they are such a happy flower. Now, I’m trying to find a good spot for my bird feeders…I miss my red cardinals so.

I also need to find a good spot for my roses - not on the back porch, though - Axel loves to eat my plants - and I don’t think the thorns would deter him at all…oh well, that’s my Axel Barbarian! (emphasis on the “barbarian” part). He’s made mince-meat of a couple of gardenias I was getting ready to plant…mainly to cover the “big dog scent” that’s taking over the porch area….I guess he didn’t want me to plant something that would make things smell “pretty”…barbarian that he is!

I can’t believe that this coming Sunday is Easter. This year is already going by so fast…at least spring is on the way! :-)

Now I can become completely obsessed again with my flowers and songbirds…and forgo my obsession with rum raisin ice cream and butterfinger cones!

I still haven’t made it to yoga class…I will, though. I can feel the yoga-ish-ness building. I think yoga will also be one of my springtime obsessions…

Anyway, Happy Wednesday. Happy, happy - it’s almost Easter, so springtime is officially here, and I’m gonna be a rose-planting, bird-watching, yoga-doing, obsessed Florida girl…yea! Happy Wednesday! Happy, happy - I’m not gonna be a hibernating-cuz-it’s-too-cold, sad because it’s too cloudy, Jewel-listening, rum raisin eating, non-yoga doing, just as obsessed only with the wrong stuff, Florida girl!

(Of course, my obsession with Starbucks is multi-seasonal…What? I can’t be expected to be a total chameleon! Great espresso makes a cold/dreary day warmer and a bright and sunny day that much brighter and sunnier!) :-)
So, Happy Wednesday…and peace out.

Pleasantville

I had so many plans today - since I thought I was on the mend. But, I guess I pushed a little too hard yesterday…so I had to move more slowly than I had planned this morning.

I tried to take some photos of my songbirds - they were so lovely - but by the time I got my camera and got close enough, they were hiding among the trees just out of range of my lens. I need a bigger lens!

But watching them was still a joy.

Lunch with Amanda and Leigh Ann was also wonderful. It’s nice to have friends that don’t expect…anything from you - you can just be you - whatever that means.

The sun came out for a little while today - it was so uplifting! There’s a storm coming toward South Florida, so it’s been unusually windy and gray…I love the fall, but I miss the sun so much when it’s gray even for a couple of days. As much as I dream of snow, it’s a blessing to live somewhere where the sun shines almost all of the time.

So, it’s a pleasant Tuesday - thanks to all of the pleasant things around me - good friends, loving family, my songbirds, roses, a lovely salad, Advil, and being able to take my time getting ready for the day…Pleasantville.

It’s a nice place to live.

Peace.
