Everything is New

A new spring, new flowers, new life , new blog. I took this opportunity to try this blogging thing one more time. Sense the last time I posted my life has done a 360. Nothing is the same. I moved, changed my looks, changed my lifestyle, all my friends have changed.

My attitude toward life has changed, for the better. I try to be more positive and happy. The pictures are from my yard. I cant take full credit for the pretty flowers they are my mother's, father's, and some of my handiwork. I have really enjoyed being a part of planting them. I am also sewing again, something I used to enjoy but had kind of let go. I have made myself several dress and tops. This is a good thing, because I am particular about my clothes and it is hard for me to find clothes I like.

My cat Sweetpea is happy we have moved. she is a house cat only, but she likes to looke out the windows. A few times she has inadvertantly scooted outside to turn around a scoot right back in. I think the world outside is just to big and scary for her. After all she is a sweet elderly lady now.

I will quit for now see ya'all next time

I am sure what I went through is nothing like what others expereince in winter on the east coast, however we ion the California desert finally had snow. For 2 days even. Of those 2 days I spend 14 hours in the back seat of a Jeep stuck on highway 15 and then on highway 395. Can you imagine that? I kept thinking I should feel more misserable than I did. But to be honest it seemed much more an adventure. I am sure had it last too much longer the adventure would have lost it's charm.We were grateful to finally reach home. I believe I slept 18 hours straight through.

A few days later, not to many I am sure. I was driving home from an appointment, and I passed by our centeral park. Low and behold there were the snow geese that visit every year I wonder what they thought of the snow still on the ground. I certainly hope it doesnt change their flight plans in the future.

Happy New Year

Tell me truly does this look like the desert?

I just wanted to post a quicky. I am terribly excited, we found out that my daughter is having a girl. I went to visit her this last weekendand was given a surpise Christmas gift. I was able to be present at her ultra sound to find out the sex of my newest grandchild. While I would be happy for a healthy child or either sex I was tickled "PINK" to find out it is a girl.

We are afloat here in the desert right now ne have had nearly nonstop rain for 4 days now, the Serria Nevada Mountain range just to the west of us is covered with snow and according to the weather station we are due for the mother of all storms tonight. Two storms are colliding above us, one from the north and one from the south. I guess I better batton down the hatches. Dont tell no-one but I am excited I love storms!! I have a good supply of food and heat is gas so if the lights are lost "oh well" I just wont have the internet.

They're Here!!

They're back!! I love it when the snow geese come here. They spend the larger part of the winter here. It is warm and they feed till they are full on the insects they find in the grass, .... yes we have grass in the desert. I cant begin to describe the feeling I get watching and listening to them fly across the valley from west to east at night and then travel back east to west in the morning. they have perfect formation and you can hear the lead geese calling out the cadence. Fore the most part they are all white with black tips on their wings. Our skys are so clear and a briliant shade of blue, which makes the Geese stand out. I am always sorry to see them leave when it warms up in May. But I am sure where they are going someone is waiting in anticipation for their noisy arrival.

It is the day after my birthday. It was a good one as birthdays go after you have hit the top of the hill and are headed down the other side. the ones I love the most were here and we had a great time. I was concerned for half a minute, as I was having a Murphy sort of day. First I had a flat on my way to my Doctors appointment, then after I stopped at Burger king for a dollar menu lunch while I was ordering the car behind developed a mind of its own while the drivers attentions were in the back seat with her children, and I was smacked father firmly from behind. Before I knew it I was collared and taped to a back board and on my way to the ER. Long story short I am fine sore in a place or two but in one piece. The car? Just a little scratch.

I am decorating bit by bit for Christmas. My tree is up and lit but not finished with all the bobbles and such. the outdoor lights are up and pretty. I decided it was better to take my time. It is so less stressfull this way. And I am enjoying myself. Going through the boxes of things I have collected over the years brings back many sweet memories.

I hope all your Christmas preperations are full of love and laughter,

I was working away on writing and I became aware that the purring had gotten much louder. How strange I thought and I turned to have this sweet little face just inches from mine. Aren't her blue eyes to die for. I rescued her from the pound 3 years ago this month. I was told she was 2 years old when I got her so she should be about 5. You cant tell to look at her she still has a sweet innocent baby face. and she still plays like a kitten. Happybirthday Sweetpea!!

Thanksgiving

It has been over a month sense last I posted here. I have missed it ,but as it goes life got in the way. I got sick, then got well. I had to travel, had to go through an ugly court hearing. It took some stuffing out of me, ok a lot. I got to go on a trip for Thanksgiving to Morro Bay. It was just my style the first 2 days it rained, it was all blustery and stuff. Across the road from my hotel was the bay with sail boats and fishing boats I spent the first day sitting by the fire place all cozy and warm watching the storm outside. For me it was perfect. We spent Thanksgiving day on the beach eating a non traditional fair, but it was tasty and fun. The area is somewhere my parents used to take me when I was a kid. We spent many Thanksgivings there camping. and exploring the coves, looking for treasures. The memories were good, and made the trip all that more pleasant. I am thankfull for that.
