Spring Has Arrived

Took a chance and went onto deck to take an image of my Lilac bush, the scent is heavenly

Still homebound and oh how I miss driving my car.   Just driving close to get out but do not need too.

Miss family, continue writing, holding a camera, reading and my books with colored pens.

Someone asked me the other day "why do you write, what do you write"  I answered, "I have always
written in one form or another."   Always sent cards, wrote letters, a diary, journal and then the computer came into my life.  I thought  "what a strange question"   Writing has always been an
important part of my life and cannot imagine my life without it.   Now do not hold the pen and write
as arthritis stopped that.

I so want to walk on this property and cannot with a walker or cane.  When someone is with me
will walk on the blacktop drive.

Continual prayers to accept wherever I am in my timeframe of life upon this earth. 

What is happening to our world and how long will this continue?

Memories

Going through tons of old pictures.
Memories flood my mind.

Having difficulty sizing when copying on the printer, so just take an image with my camera and post
on saved pictures.

Here is one of my son and my oldest young granddaughter who soon graduates from high school
and will go to college.

Everyone stay safe and well.

MORNING

Morning Visitor

EVERY
MORNING
WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR TO THE PORCH
HE SITS ON THE DOOR LATCH
IT MAKES ME SMILE
IN THE LONESOME COTTAGE.

14 Days Of Isolation

I say 14, yet two short trips out.   One to the dentist a week ago.  His nurse helped me as he had not
been in the office for 4 weeks.  The morning I find out he passed away yesterday, testing positive for this Virus, sad for his family and I had been going to him for over 20 years.

I feel safe since he had not been in the office for 4 weeks.   Then the thought arises is anyone safe
from what is happening in our world.

I have not felt like writing and stay concerned over my family, special people and our whole world.   I Seems I keep repeating the same news.

Granddaughter with a toddler and 4 months old, the husband has gone to a family home that is miles
outside of New York where they live and work.    My grandson and wife still in New York.
Another granddaughter does not want to leave Nantucket.   Son still in Thailand and tells me it is safer there than in the US.   So I wonder is this true or is he just saying this to keep his mom calm.

Two daughters work from home in the Nashville area, 2 granddaughters - schools are closed.   So think
I have covered everyone.

Have a kind and thoughtful handwritten note on my desk.   Every day I look at it.   This one always
wrote many letters, sent cards and now with arthritis in fingers, I am pleased to have this computer
and have not responded with a typed note and so sorry and ashamed

So life continues and miss driving after Pneumonia and want to once again but this is not the right time
to begin.

Some groceries delivered today and ordered a lot of organic soup from Amazon.   I made a mistake
and placed an order twice for Thai Coconut Soup, it is so tasty and can't cancel one order.  A lot of cans :)
I will share with my 2 daughters.

Rain daily continues and
the sun will be welcome when it comes to stay.

Everyone
please take care of yourselves
wish you were near.

Memory That Makes Me Smile

My youngest granddaughter who just turned 15, when a toddler used to point to this birds nest
 and say "grandma, are their baby birds in those eggs."

I can still picture her doing this.

A memory that makes me smile, feels good with all that is going on in our world.
