Spring Fever Rules

Soul, the picture below isn't my actual arbor, but it's the same pattern. Mine backs to a fence and will support a thornless climbing rose. It's large enough to hold the hummingbird feeders and also a small bench can sit inside. (My arbor is a little deeper than this one.) Rain and more rain interrupted construction.It's another cloudy morning that doesn't support an upbeat mood. I just have to shake it off, put on a smile, and make it a happy day here in our little nest. Sarah is doing OK and being a proper mommy-to-be. She doesn't complain but I know she's uncomfortable. Thanks for all your good thoughts and prayers for her and the baby's well being.

I wish I had something exciting, interesting, or strange to write about but I really don't. It's called spring fever, isn't it?

Time to begin prep for gathering day. I'm really looking forward to it. The boys will chase my clouds away.

Hi Mary,

I just wanted to say Hi. I stop by now and again. Great blog you have here.

Every Sunday, my family gathers at my parent's house for Sunday dinner, a lot like your gatherings. Been doing that my whole life long. It is a special tradition.

I will keep Sarah and baby in my thoughts and prayers as well.

I like the arbor!!
When it's rainy outside I like to put on lots of lights in the house and make my own sun!
Enjoy your Sunday.

that's a fantastic idea to hang hummingbird feeders on them!

I will have your family in my deepest thoughts..with strong strength too!

Gods blessings,

Have you had the bad, bad weather I've seen on TV this weekend?

Mary said...

Summer, we had rain, and a little wind but the real problems missed us. To the north and south of us there was terrible storms.

Everyone: Sarah is doing OK. She was getting cabin fever so her parents brought her over for a short while. The swelling is really doing a number on her but she is resting most of the time. It's my opinion that she isn't out of the woods yet, but keep in mind that's only my opinion. I won't sleep easy until this is over.
