D...is for Dark

Darkness has surrounded me for far too long...skies that is.  Anyone else tired of the dark skies and ready for some much needed sunshine?  Well, I certainly am.  Monday was one of the few days we actually had sunshine and no rain.  Shocking! 

So...

I headed out for a nice walk/run with my daughter just as soon as she came home from school.  It was so nice to be outside without a jacket or umbrella, the temperature actually got to 64 degrees here in Grants Pass I believe. I am hoping that today will be at least as nice, but if it doesn't rain I'll take that too.

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when He is silent. *Written on a wall in a concentration camp*

My Day So Far

For the last few days the weather has been so nice and warm I have been able to enjoy being outside.  My son Jesse and I took a long walk around our beautiful town the other day, and a bike ride yesterday. Now as I sit here at my computer I can feel the cold seeping into my joints.  The sky is dark with grey clouds, and the wind is blowing a coldness into me.  It seems like we will get either a very short hot summer or a spring like summer, the weather doesn't seem to be able to make up it's mind.  I have never been one to wish for hot weather but I truely need some sunshine on my shoulders.


I had a dream last night...wanna hear it?  Okay you talked me into it.  From what I remember I was dreaming about a new and interesting subject to blog about...LOL.  It was interesting, and intuitive and when I woke up it felt completely real...only....I could not remember what the subject was that I wanted to blog about.  All day long I have wracked my brain, I simply cannot remember what it was.  Funny isn't it! 


Today has been one of those days, you know the kind, full of things you need to do.  For instance, for some reason when my hubby woke up at say 5am I woke up and could not go back to sleep.  So around 5:30am I got myself up and dressed, made coffee, sat down at the computer for a few minutes, and then got myself going on the housework/laundry.  My nephew came by to get our extension ladder so he could trim the trees at one of our stores, then when the kids + 1 cousin came home from putting the frieght away at the same store we all went grocery shopping...fun...really, it was, especially with 3 teens and one pre-teen. (I'm totally being serious about the fun part)   Now as I sit here trying to get warm and stay awake, I find myself waiting for a friend who is suppossed to be coming over to use the computer/internets...lol.  Sometime after all this, I will need to think about dinner for the chitlins (kids). 


I will go for now, but believe me when I say I will be back! Blessings to all who pass this way!

Quiet Morning

Such a beautiful and quiet morning at 5am....Woke up to take the hubby to work. It just amazes me how quiet and still the world is at that hour...for some reason it reminds me of when my babies were tiny and woke often in the middle of the night, hungry or wet...those times were so sweet and quiet, all the world still asleep and seemingly innocent...
