The Kitchen Table

Oh what a wonderful day!

10 years ago

I have lived in my new house for 5 months and today was the first day ALL of my children, their spouses, and my grandchildren were able to come at the same time! We spent the day eating, visiting, laughing, taking pictures, making ice cream and catching up on each other. Every day I thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful family

I agree, anytime all of one's family is together under the same roof, it is a wonderful day! Happy that it happened for you.

Springtime is underway here in Madison, as well. But it is more subtle at this point. We have lots of blooming plants, daffodils, wild iris, and crocus. Our blueberry shrubs are beginning to flower, & I expect to see fully formed flowers in a few days. My wife saw a mourning cloak last week, & even got a photo of it, so I can say that we have butterflies. Mourning cloaks must be pretty tough, it is not that warm yet. Today was sunny, but it only got up to 60. I keep checking on the milkweed, but nothing green so far. I really enjoyed all the photos of your garden.

How nice that you were able to get some Garden Time. I could feel my blood pressure lowering just from reading about it. :) We're having a very sunny week here in Seattle as well. The mornings on my street have been frosty, but it warms up fairly quickly and has been a real joy all week. It is definitely helping me attend to some garden chores (putting up fencing, planting some broadleaf evergreens in previously prepared holes etc), plus just enjoying signs of early spring/late winter. I too hope everyone is enjoying it. Take care, Grant

Worth, it gets better. Being a devout Chirstian, my church friends look at me funny when I say something Zennish, but without the bad, we wouldn't know how to appreciate the good. Our volunteer fire dept. had been out at least once a day for the last 2 weeks until we got 7 inches of wet, heavy snow. You'll get you some rain before long. And that house-buying WILL become a satisfaction. Just plug along and look forward to the better days ahead. This was the first actual "day-off" I'd had in 2 months. If I wasn't working, I was at a Christmas program, party or dinner or I was following my wife around the stores. The only human I even saw all day was the librarian. I needed that really bad. Hang in there.

Glad it was a great day for you and your family. Once school starts it is hard for all of us to get together, too. Cherish these times.
