Saturday musings~



I've been a little under the weather this past week. No energy and feeling almost"battle weary". I have made sure throughout this past week, to rest as much as possible. Today I have just relaxed after my morning routine was done. Been reading a great book..."The Best of Stillmeadow" by Gladys Tabor. Its been a delight to read and I'm enjoying it so much! Her stories are woven around family, their pets, and farm life, a relaxing read just before bedtime.

It was so hot the past few days....temperatures in the 90's!! Seems as if a little Summer has attempted to sneak in all too soon! The weather should be back to "normal" they say next week.

I took a few pictures of my work in the yard...swept, pitched some clutter, pruned,and rearranged. I am pleased with the results so far, but have so much to do still. I do a little each day as I'm able to. I enjoy working in the yard early of a morning, or late in the afternoon, when its cooler. The birds are active and sing more during that time....its a peaceful time of day too...especially early..just before sunrise....the most glorious time of day!

Tomorrow....talk a walk around your neighborhood, pick some flowers and arrange them in your favorite vase, make a hearty Sunday supper and enjoy a peaceful Sunday. Blessings to you and yours....

I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling under the weather, Mindy. I will be sure to keep you in my prayers. I just love Gladys Taber's books. I was thinking about checking Stillmeadow out of the library again!
Have a blessed week.

I'm glad you are feeling better! And how fun that you read a Gladys Taber book... Was it your first one? She's one of my favorites! Let me know if you'd like to join our Gladys Taber Yahoo group--there's always room for more! :) Blessings, Debra

What a great quote! And when the temperature gets up that high, it sure takes the starch out of me...smile. I love Gladys Tabors books but haven't read one in ages.
