happenings

It is around this busy time of year that I regret not making my birthday-candle-blowing-out wish one that gives me an extra hour each day.

I would use that extra hour to blog.

Seriously, I would choose to blog over sleeping.  I already do most evenings.

But even I, queen of the night owls, have found that my posts are being eclipsed by the happenings of the warming weather and longer sun.  (And, I must be honest, watching some episodes of Arrested Development on Netflix.)

Though I quite enjoy those happenings.  So let me share.

Sinking: into this spring of mud and dirt 

Organizing: the garage, a sure commitment to spring's arrival 

Appreciating: the diligence of a boy who didn't want to get wet, but who took seriously the job of shelf-washing 

Greeting: passers-by 

Napping: but not every day, though I always remember to let sleeping dogs lie 

Marveling: at the practical wisdom of nature, open on warm sunny days, closed on cold cloudy ones 

Marveling More: at the intricate beauty unfolding just outside my doorstep 

Chasing: each other and the dog and the sun as it sets 

Celebrating: the chance to begin wearing my favorite short-sleeved t-shirt again and
Enjoying:  this great post by another breastfeeding Mama 

Daydreaming: what this scrubby patch of back yard might look like in several weeks after much much work 

Loving: every bit of dirt under the fingernails, a sure sign of a good summer to come.

Hoping:  all that is happening with you is wonderful!

Please, do tell!
