Tired


Even the snow that fell last night seems tired and worn. Patchy white, semi-covering the dormant grass and plants outside.....
I've had a bout with the flu the last few days. So I'm tired, as well,....and worn.
But, as a dear long ago friend, Patty Payne, once cross-stitched "This, too, shall pass". And, sure enough the sun is breaking through, the clouds are dissipating, and patches of blue are peeking through the grey and brown landscape. My bout with the flu is also rounding the bend, and I'm able to sit up this afternoon.
I am constantly reminded of all that TODAY holds....even with its seemingly dull palette of somber colors. The air outside is cool, but not cold, today. The red new limbs of the trees hold their promise of spring to come. And my tulips and hycianths are, hopefully, gaining strength for their days of glory that are soon to come.
All of this....and memories of my precious little grandson (these are the last of my pics from my trip last week) to see me through. Thank you Lord, for Your faithfulness!

Animals on the Farm by Choo Choo Soul


Well, I'm back at home.....and missing my little grandson more than ever....
Neil, you really do "light up my life"! What would this granny do without you?!!
This moment seemed to capture your absolute delight in all things musical....and things with rhythm!! The pictures are blurred because you have "moves", Neil!! How I love to see you express yourself!
And how I love being with you as you dance around your living room!

More of Little Neil......


P had a conference in Boston this week. Here's little Neil all dressed and ready to "go" and then watching his dad load the car. He has really good dance "moves"....especially for not quite two.....and, oh, how he loves his daddy! It touched my heart this morning when the first thing Neil did was to take a picture of his family, say "Daddy" and then kiss and hug P's picture:)

Neil, You Are My Sunshine


It's such a snowy day in Connecticut.....but this is what is making my days:) Is this baby not the most angelic little guy! He has been a constant source of laughter and joy! Grey skies, ice, and snow cannot damper the light that is glowing inside this dear little home:) Ahhh....the blessings of grandparenting!
