At The Moment

This new sign is at home among my herbs.

First daylillie to bloom
and many more in the next day or two.
I must add
it looks like several weeks of rain has stopped.

Every item in my room has a special meaning and reminds me that I am loved.
On my nightstand
a candle from my son, another from a daughter,
special balm from a granddaughter, a small clock from a trip to St Thomas many years ago.
5 books that never fail to bring comfort and peace as I go to sleep at night.  These words
especially needed this last week.
On my bed a quilt made by my mother and has her name on it,  an afghan purchased in Atlanta many years ago, a pillow made by a special friend
years ago and now she has been gone about 14 years.
In this room also painting of flowers a gift from my children's father, a basket of recent cards and notes
from family.
My favorite books in a bookcase, an item from my grandmother and on and on and
this one
has shared enough.

Death of a neighbor and of another one  has caused my children
a lot of thoughts. Seems it passed on to me.

My mother and grandmother were superstitious
and so many times would repeat sayings to me
that I really do not believe
but wonder....

They predicted the time my children were born
and whether girl or boy
have to say
some of it was correct :)

Another
that deaths come in 3's
and there have been 2 this week.

But then I read one time that the number 3 is a lucky number.
Time - past, present and future
Day - morning, noon and night
Primary colors - red, yellow and blue.
