Wow...June 1st? Springtime is my most favorite season of all and it's fastly coming to a close real soon. I haven't posted in a while as I've been busy trying to enjoy every minute that I possibly can of this period of renewal. I wish I could bottle up and save some of the beauty that abounds during this three month span...the new growth and blossoms of trees and shrubs, the blooming of new plants and flowers, the appearance of bees, dragonflies, fireflies and butterflies, birds scurrying about to build nests to house their offspring...the smells that lightly fill the air like honeysuckles and yes, even freshly mowed grass! And I love the temps for this time of the year, too...right before the days get HOT and stay that way, for what seems like forever. The humidity is lower and the warm sun on your face and shoulders just feels heavenly. Yep, this is the time that I want to get outside and stay there! And I've been having some really good days as far as my health goes...Fibro and Artie seem to prefer springtime, too!
Life has continued to go on while I've been 'playing' outside. Mom and Dad have had a successful season at the garden center. It's been a very busy time for them and I'm looking forward to them wrapping up so they can get here for an extended visit with us.
My favorite little fella, Bryson, celebrated his 1st birthday! He's learning to walk, taking a few steps here and there and learning to balance himself, steadily upon his own. Of course, he prefers to crawl, as this is a speedier means of transportation for him!
My teenager will celebrate a milestone of his own in a couple of weeks, turning 18 years of age. Seems like just a few months ago, he was just beginning to take his first steps! His junior year of high school is also coming to a close in a few days. He'll be a senior (WOO HOO one more year to go!!!) when school starts back in August.
My nephew, Nick has just moved into his own place. This is the first time for him, living away from 'home'. He's very excited and I wish him all the best!
My cousin Joanna, whom I love and respect so much, became engaged last week. This is very exciting news for the family. I've not yet met this wonderful beau of hers...well, her fiance', now...but I know that if she thinks that he is worthy of her hand in marriage, then he has to be one awesome dude!! So, I trust her judgement on this and wish them all the happiness and blessings that their lives together, can hold. Congrats to you both, Joanna and Will!
Ok, I think this is pretty much an update on the latest happenings and news surrounding my household. As you can see, just another few good reasons that spring is such an exciting time. Until my next post, blessings!
**Still praying for my good friend.("Nikki needs a kidney")
"Nikki,you never wander far from my thoughts...love you girl!"
