You are my sunshine!

WOW! It is so good to feel the warmth of the sun! The seasons are changing and now the sun is shining and we are all able to get out and enjoy it.  It brings a smile to face and joy to my heart to see all the flowers and the colors popping out this season. My flowers I planted last week, well, I can say they are still alive, but one of them looks like they are hanging on to dear life. I never really had a green thumb, and it isn't from lack of trying! I just don't think plants like me...LOL

As  you can see, my hair is still growing...I have not given up on the curls! and OH the gray! It really is showing. I think I am way too young for gray, I may have to look into some of that box color stuff! haha

I am so excited to get started on our house build. This is a view from what will be our back porch! I love it and can't wait for our new home and new beginnings to start!

I am looking forward to be out of the city. It won't be quite country life, but close. All the stress of having to be so aggressive when driving, rude people, and the traffic, I am ready to get out of this and to a much more quieter life. Crickets, trees, listening to wind, being able to hear my own thoughts. Ahh , sounds good, right?

I'm not sure what my dog, Riley is going to think of it. That big backyard to run around and chase the rabbits and other critters! I am sure she will be happy to move away from Lulu, our dog next door who is always trying to get her attention with barking! We had a hole in the fence where Riley and Lulu could see each other through it, but we had to close it because it was beginning to be too much barking at each other. I don't think Riley really likes Lulu that much.

All of this to say, even with change, I (we) still survive. Sometimes it is hard, but taking the time to look around, experience life, no matter how small, reminds you that you are still alive. Even if it is dogs barking, colors of the trees or flowers, or just enjoying the warmth of the sun, we are alive!

Psalm 118:24:

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." 

Romans 15:13:

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Love to all,
