Another Good Day!

We had another beautiful day here in sunny florida.  We did have some rain off and on all day but it sort of cooled things off.  Got some shrubery cut back and put some fertilizer around all my plants.  Our place is looking so good.  I am looking forward to planting some    pretty flowering shrubs whe we get back.

A NEW BEGINNING!

I cannot believe how time flies by so quickly!  Decisions made and then quickly your life changes in a heartbeat.  All for the good I hope.  We made a decision a few short weeks ago to make our lives much simpler by putting our home up for sale and moving into our little cottage.   We only had it on the market two days when it sold.  We had three weeks to move from a 2100 sq foot house to a 750 sq foot cottage.  It was a huge challenge but we have made it.   We got rid of so much stuff and still have plenty.   We still have things to do to the cottage but nothing urgent.  We are leaving for Salua N.C. to our other home sunday morning.   We are so blessed!  We are going to rest rest rest...  Oh but those leaves will be coming down very soon and will be crying to be raked.  

Hope to make this blog a good habit and write more often.   Whoever said "less is more" is definately right!

Here we are back in Saluda N.C.

Doesn't take long to get here.  Just a 10 hour drive and we are in another world....  Our little cottage looks so good to us..  We have only been gone 3 months but it seems like longer.  Spring is slowly coming to the mountains.  Redbud is in bud, white pear trees in full bloom (so beautiful), Forsynthia in bright yellow blooms.  Jonquils blooming as well as buds on the Azalias.  We have so many little purple violets in our yard.  Wish I could preserve them all.  Another thing is something I think they call periwinkle. Its a blue flowering ground cover and of course the many, many birds calling every morning and evening.  Weather is beautiful today... Sunny afternoon around 72...  Here are a few pictures I took a few minutes ago...

we are all seeking God when he is with us every day.... like air.. in the whisper of the breeze, the warmth of the sun.. the color of nature... in the wandering of the mind.. be still and know....

This says it all...

I meant to do my work today, but a brown bird sang in the apple tree, and a butterfly flitted across the field, and all the leaves were calling me. And the wind went sighing over the land, tossing the grasses to and fro, and a rainbow held out its shining hand--So what could I do but laugh and go.....

Where does the time go???

Can't believe it is already March.  Time flies when you are having fun so they say...  We have been so busy putting our little cottage on the market.  Today we signed the contract and Larry has finished all the moving of his workshop, my slat house and all the little things we had to do to put the house up for sale.   

Larry's grandmother and grandfather moved from New Jersey in 1939 to live for the next 60plus years in this little cottage.  Larry's mother brought him to Melbourne in 1944 and he has walked across his this threshold a million times visiting his grandmother.  This is a bittersweet moment for him but it is time.

Shower Me With Blessings...

Sending love and healing energy to all that I love and love me..  May today be a special day in every way...  Off to see my two grandchildren....

A perfect day..

It is probably always a perfect day whe you get to do only what you like.  1st to Starbucks, then to Lowes for a few plants.  Work in the flower beds all morning getting rid of those pesky weeds. Lunch and rest then back to planting.  Looks good for now.
