A Gratitude Moment

I SO love daylight savings time.  I love that there's still sunlight when I get home from work.  I love watching the garden for signs.  Watching for the tulips to push their way thru the earth, looking for bits of sun.

I love that the crocuses show up in the middle of grass.  There's something about it that makes me giddy.

I love the idea of working with the earth to create that beauty. 

I love that there are some things that really need very little attention to get the job done.  They know what to do each year, and they do it. 

I love the colors of spring.  I love that they can be bold or pastel. 

Yep!  Filled with gratitude!  Life is Good!!

Happy St. Paddy's Day

Today, I thought about the letters we used to receive from Ireland about a month before "St. Paddy's Day".  My great Aunt Dilly (Dad's aunt) would pull up a handful of "shamrocks," dry them out and send them to us as our annual gift of "Genuine Irish Shamrocks."  Each year, we would look forward to them.  And it was sad when they stopped coming each year.  So, I did the next best thing.  I went out and took a picture of the shamrocks in my yard.  I'm very much looking forward to spring.   Happy St. Paddy's Day to everyone!!!  Think I'll go out for a Shamrock Shake!
