its beginning to look a lot like spring...

on the inside, anyway...

its in the 20s on the outside with wind...

guess where I am not today...

I so wished I would have painted this a long time ago...

they say there is a snow storm coming in on Sunday with accumulation...

like I want any of that...

and I have blogging friends are still wading around snow drifts and haven't even a path to her clothesline...

I am so ready for the mercury to rise...

and for green grass and crocus...

tulips and dogwoods...

so here is just a little of my puttering today...

which simply wore me out...

and we have had lunch...

so the next thing in line is more pt and a nap...

I have been a very good girl, so I think a long nap is ok...

what are you up to?

have you been playing?

are your crocus blooming?

hugs...

;)

work in progress...

a friend of Craig's stopped by tonight...

and she agreed to help with some moving around...

I need to take the lavender out and dust the top of the shaker jar...

a project to do tomorrow...

they moved the mantel back to the wall for me...

and the table is in front of the windows...

so I can watch for spring the proper way...

but remember the old green wall paper that was on the front of this?

I decided to paint it...

black...

and I love it...

so later when I feel better and can bend more...

I am painting the inside, too...

and I had them remove the black metal panels...

they are now on the deck and I will find something to do with them later...

and tomorrow I will redo the top of the mantel...

and see what happens there...

kind of a slow, sore day here today...

maybe did a bit too much yesterday...

but working through it and keeping up with the pt and my own yoga/ weights program...

just takes me longer to get through them...

I so need more energy...

like that of a 7 year old would be nice...

;)

hope you are all having a good week...

and you didn't get any of that nasty snow that hit some...

and if you have that snow...

that it melts soon and releases the wonders of spring just waiting to come forth...

we could all use some sun screen and flip flop weather...

hugs...

a good night's rest...

its amazing what one will do for you...

I think its another one of those gifts from God that we over look every single day...

been getting up with the chickens here...

and in between breakfast and lunch, DH took me for a little drive...

I so wasn't ready for that...

LOL

and I had him pull over at only one spot...

the rest of the time I was hanging onto my tummy with both hands...

I know now to take a pillow with me to the doctor's on Tuesday...

my 'new' tummy is able to handle anything now...

where it comes out of...

not so sure...

;)

pillows are a wonderful thing...

Happy St Patty's Day!

amen...

hope you all have a great green day!

I have told the guys that I am not to be pinched this year no matter what I wear...

;)

if they pinch me, I'm going naked...

that'll teach them!

tulips and daffodils...

another promise of spring...

we had a wonderful spring-like day here yesterday...

59!

and my guys took me out for a small walk in the afternoon...

wasn't out there too long, when nature called and back in we came...

baby steps keep happening here, and there are a bunch to do...

but I make progress every day...

and I am able to lay down and sleep in my bed again...

just a couple hours at a time right now...

but it feels so good!

the warmer weather left in the night and coldness has seeped back in...

could see snow even later on...

oh, the madness of March...

;)
