Long weekends!

Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world.

We are so relieved it is Saturday, as it has been a bittidz of a week. It is a long weekend (Queen Victoria Day)! And, as a special tidbitz, the 17th of May is a National holiday / celebration in Norway.

Alan brought me my cup of coffee in bed this am; and it was wonderful to watch the tid birds (lots of yellow finches) hopping happily from branch to branch on the trees, that our bedroom bay window looks out upon. We are very Blessed; and both joyfully and humbly, all I can say is 'Praise Him in ALL Things'. A BIG THANK YOU; as we have so much to be thankful and grateful for, in our area of the map.

Today is a perfect 'gardening day'. 'A Gardener's Dream' methinks. We will prep the soil, all the pots, re plant our 2 yellow Hotei Rhodos into larger pots, rearrange / relocate other plants; as well as cleaning and hosing down our bit patio furniture. In other words, 'Spring has Sprung'. It is so good to finally have the warmer weather; along with much needed sunshine; and it is forecasted to be a sunny weekend! We are just going to 'putz' about in our bit garden / patio and make ready for our 'outside living room'. Also, my left foot is still following the RICE regime; so I will 'take it easy' and enjoy the quiet respite.

Can hear birds chirping away, bees humming, the gentle sounds of the nearby water fountain; all very peaceful, and a buzz of a lawn mower in the distance. Our patio is a haven / retreat for us.

Love the above photo image; looks so relaxing and 'Bohemian!' Love the ocean as well; however, we are relishing the reprieve of a long weekend at home, and in our garden. A time to calmly reflect, recharge our batteries, and regroup out thoughts, for whatever comes next.

Tidbit - 'Wake up and smell the coffee'; as well as taking 'time out to smell the roses!' That is what we are doing!

Bittid - Enjoy each and every day; and make the best of what you have!

God Bless.
