It feels soo good to be
back...I just wanted you to know that I love and enjoy my blog very much...like another friend blogger, it is a "love/not like relationship" at times I have with the computer and have finally come to a place where I can take it or leave it and will post as such. I know that makes not a lick of sense to you, but I just wanted to get it off
my chest since this is my little place to share to do just that :-)
With that said...
The mountain is finally seeing spring in her glory and today she is rejoicing with full bloom. The rainy season is ended and now with showers at times and thunderstorms at others, we will see the month of May at her very best. Our nights are still very chilly with still needing 2 quilts on the bed and sleep tucked real close to whomever happens to be in your nest...smile.
Mornings there is a slight chill and a small wait and then windows are opened a bit. The stove in the basement will now take a much needed break, while the little stove that heats our water works on the entire year. That little stove has been such a blessing and saves us sooo much money. It does take work for the menfolk, but we do have plenty of those on hand...yep, I continue having my entire brood at home with 8 lives being weaved together in a continuous motion of life and jumble. Makes my day busy with tiny grabs at silence. I believe one appreciates it much more when it does not come easily, atleast for me that is true.
The garden as you can see way out there in the distance is doing well and is off to a nice start. The early vegetables are growing nicely while the plants will not go in until this week-end. ALOT of painting has taken place...my entire back porch and landing, entry fence, clothesline posts, upper woodshed, lower woodshed, birdhouse posts, playhouse, my sweet garden gate and soon my chickenhouse. It all looks so nice in the colors I picked..."tropical nut, terra cotta and sand". I could not have chosen nicer ones as they go with all the porch furniture and chair pads! I could not have planned it any better!
We are in the blisters of spring fever with hitting the books very difficult. We have 4 weeks until evaluation time and while it is never hard, I still find it a chore
(to stop and put things together for the state portfolio and turn it in to the district) and something that I am ALWAYS glad to have over and done! Whew...you would think that after this long, it would be like falling off a log and it is, but I dislike hitting the ground...lol. I do not have long though and will see this through to it's completion...in 6 more years :-) I think that the current 4 weeks shall be narrowed down now to 2...you know I
AM the teacher after all. sshh...
Well, I need to get moving this morning and get outside in the sun...also, to write some long-needed letters to my dear writing friends!
P.S. I hope you like the new blog format and colors...I am in love with some of the prints and color combinations that I see...you should see my new purse, never would I have thought to buy one like it a few years ago!
Chat with you all later this week!
