Thursday Thoughts

I wish I could say ~ hello Spring ~ so nice to see you

but today we have had a rain-freezing rain-snow mix that is not very 

"springish" at all

I know for us here in the northeast ~ Spring does not truly arrive 

until mid April 

but after the winter that just won't quit 

I am looking forward to some green grass and warmer temps

I choose to live in this part of the country

because this is where I grew up ~ where my family is

well most of it anyway and where my roots are firmly planted

we talk time and time again ~ what if you could live anywhere

where would you go? 

would you build a house in an exotic local?

would you spend your summers here and winters in the south?

oh the places we could go

I never stop dreaming about them

but to leave this place ~ the 4 seasons

I do love them all ~ well maybe not "love" the one that starts with a w

but all in all ~ I am happier in the other 3

I have seen most of Canada ~ not extensively

but I do know that we have some beautiful places right here

in my backyard 

so with that ~ my what I have learned this week is

I truly love to read and have been dragging around the same book for over 2 weeks

why you ask?  I need to start putting my phone down at lunch and picking up my book instead.

Cutting a puppy dogs nail too short can cause "mother guilt" and more blood

than you can even imagine.  She is ok now ~ me... not so much.

While planning dinner for the following night ~ make sure you have all the ingredients

for what you are making.  It is really hard to make quesadillas without tortillas.

Watering your plants is good for their well being but 

once every 2 weeks is not working out so well.

An earlier bedtime makes me happy.
