Monday Musings

Hmmm.  Where to start?

We've had a special weekend.  Busy with company that included:

It would be nice to convey in words what it means.  Considering that we get these visits usually only once/five years, it is very special indeed.  The sweet young couple from KY came as well.  She was a joy as a little chubby blueberry-eyed little one.  She's a joy as a blueberry-eyed young lady with a wonderful husband.  I'm so glad they came!

And it was Mother's Day.

I think the MYP secretly groan at the desire I have to take photos at holidays.  However, they are the ones who like to look at old photos and marvel at the changes and growth.  Looking at this picture, I realize I do indeed have MYP and not MY little ones.  Bittersweet sigh.

I wish a house wouldn't be built across the street.  I tried to discourage potential buyers by sending Lisi outside to bark at people looking at the land.  It must not have worked because pink flags have been staked.  I wish Simba wouldn't lose those happy mousing grounds.

I wish there were gardens without weeds.  I wish that it wouldn't be so evident when you weren't faithful in weeding the previous year.  Somehow the weeds remember they had a strong-hold on certain places.  I wish I liked vegetable gardens more.  Like someone else posted recently, the beginning and end is fun, but not the constancy of work in between sowing and reaping.  

I wish washers and dryers had a third appliance called a folding machine.  And maybe a put-away machine.  But then I wouldn't have job security here.

I wish I could lose five pounds without trying.  

I think there's a quote:  'If wishes were fishes, then we would all cast nets'.  

Maybe it should say if I have time to post this, I have time to weed.  So off I go!  Happy week ahead!
