for today

for today...

outside my window... 21F/partly cloudy, snow flurries @2am

i am thinking... when to start my herb garden? *hmmm*

i am thankful for... Daylight Saving Time

i am wearing... blue jeans, thermal shirt, birkenstocks

i am going... grocery shopping, etc

i am currently reading...Festive Tarts, by Sylvia Thompson

i am hoping... to hang laundry out on the clothesline soon

on my mind... gas @ $2.75/gallon, milk @ $2.55/gallon, butter @ $2.99/lb

pondering these words...

"Once a day and sometimes more, I look out my day dream door

To see if spring is out there yet, I'm really anxious, but mustn't fret.

I see the snow a melting down, and lots of mud and slush around

I know the grass will surely sprout, and birds and flowers will come about.

But why oh why does it take so long?  I'm sure the calendar can't be wrong.

Sunshine fills my heart with cheer, I wish that spring were really here."

~  Edna T. Helberg, Longing for Spring ~
