February

Hello Everyone,
I took a little two week blog vacation.

February has been one of the most beautiful, but yet CRAZY busy months I have experienced in a while. About half way through, I just decided if I was going to stay sane and positive, I would have to do a semi unplug, so I did just that.

It made a huge difference. You know sometimes you have to get quite to listen to God. He speaks softly many times. I feel like a have a few things to talk about now😊

The calendar is not letting up until about halfway through March, but I feel like the rest gave me the attitude adjustment to make it through.

I have all my Easter thoughts together, my planned readings, and my service and discipline plans all set in my mind.

Now, for a few things y'all might like to see.

I so desperately wanted to finish my books of the Bible piece, but I still have the top border to go. It is the same as the bottom border.

This piece has taken a very long time for some reason. I have plodded forward the whole month of February on it. I didn't stitch anything else. I am going to continue to work on it only until completion.

We have the onions and potatoes all planted, and they are doing well at the farm. I don't have a recent picture though.

I have piddled in the flowers here at home. I have planted tulips at the entrance to our circle. They are popping up slowly. It has been like watching a pot of water that you are trying to boil.

The cold in January wiped out so many of my geraniums. I knew I should have brought them in. I have just decided to redo most of them. I took the ones that I thought weren't dead and placed them in one area downstairs to see if I could revive them. That is just me, however, I think they are toast.

A few of my collection on the top deck in front of my kitchen window.

This is one of the reasons I like to put them here. Washing dishes is more fun. Well, maybe.

I took long walks on the beach this month. In shorts. In February. Only snowbirds do that. They have been so incredible.

I have no clue what March will be like with weather or how warm that Gulf of Mexico is already. I think pretty warm, so I will pray we are spared with no hurricanes.

Lucy, my Springer Spaniel, has been real sick. I have a vet appointment on Thursday. Whew, it has been tough with her.

Well, that will sum it up for me today. I will be back soon. My busy lifestyle will not end until about halfway through March. More on that later.

With a little more spring in my step,
Sandy
