Rainy rhodos!

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

Yesterday came and went; it was 'Mother's Day'; and as a Mum, I totally enjoyed the day. My apologies also, for not writing a post.

Watched 'Enjoying Everyday Life' with Joyce Meyer (www.joycemeyer.org) and 'Living Truth' with Charles and Hilary Price (www.livingtruth.ca). We slept in; so I look forward to watching 'Hour of Power' with Dr. Robert Schuller (www.hourofpower.org) in a bit. I recommend you check into their websites for knowledge - 'Seek and Ye Shall Find'; as their teachings are full of encouraging tidbits. Hilary Price, who is a mother herself, spoke yesterday about 'mothers'; and her message is very uplifting. Bittids worth listening to, methinks!

Alan made a hearty brunch of crisp bacon, eggs 'over easy', and dry toast with freshly made marmalade given to us by our next door neighbour. I always appreciate Alan as the 'creative' chef; but for 'some tid reason', our food tasted better than usual! I also enjoy a 1/2 grapefruit each morning; and apparently, there is 'something' in grapefruit, that helps with one's metabolism in controlling weight gain.

The weather was a 'perfect gardening day'. So, we attacked our weeds, leaves, planter pots, and soil with gusto. Believe it or not, a few hours went by; and we had a half hour to spare before my son came over in the late afternoon for a barbecue. We still have lots more to do in the 'garden'; but it was a good start!

As mentioned in a recent post, we bought our barbecue later last summer (on sale at Home Depot); and once my son made sure it was set up properly, he barbecued some delicious burgers for us. We also were able to savour eating outside; and the green ambience was so relaxing and refreshing. We timed it well; because no sooner had we finished dinner, it started to rain. Talk about perfect timing! Our barbecue is 'simple' to use; not a lot of 'bells and whistles'; but enough to enjoy many a barbecued repas! Plus, we have a little burner to the side that we can use for frying up onions etc.

At approx 8:00 pm, I was grateful to see our bed! The fresh air does have its way of setting the scene for a good night's rest. Believe it or not, there were a few tidbitz muscles that I had 'forgotten about'; and hence today, can feel them a bittidz! LOL! This morning, eventhough it is pouring with rain, various rhododendrums are coming out in gorgeous colourful blooms! Our winter was harsh; and alas, a few plants were lost; and yet the ones that survived, look more beautiful than previous years, methinks. Love the above photo image of a purple rhodo, very similar to ours.

My daughter and our twin grandsons are en route; have somewhat 'child proofed' our house! LOL! It will be fun to see them! Her cup of tea is waiting! A good day too, for a fire, possibily! Many Blessings to be Thankful for! 'Praise Him In ALL Things!'

Hope to be back in a bit, with a tid of happy news.

God Bless.
