A Bit Too Warm

On Monday, as the skies stayed sunny all day and the temperature soared, we took some time to sit on the glider and walk around the property. It was so lovely! As we reached Tuesday, the euphoria had worn off and we realized it was just too darned warm. (We’d even had trouble sleeping the night before.) One more day of overly warm temperatures today and then back down to the forties, which is where they should be.

But it was nice for about 24 hours. And every speck of snow has vanished.

The landoudou girls were redressed yesterday. I took them outside for a photo but, even thought the sun was shining, the light was not cooperating. I now realize that there are no leaves on the trees or any of the plants that surround the porch and that makes it harder to take a picture. I’ll just have to wait a month or so.

I really haven’t had much of a desire to redress any of the girls. They look good in what they’re currently wearing and that’s fine with me.

I finished Practical Magic  yesterday. What a perfect book! I really loved everything about it, so much so that I’m sorry it’s finished. I absolutely recommend it.

Question: Do you want an egg cup tour this year? I just realized that Easter isn’t all that far away. Let me know.

Today, we go grocery shopping. There’s very little in the larder and we’ve put it off long enough.

That is our exciting day.

But truly, quiet and as-peaceful-as-we-can-make-it days are what we most prefer. We’ve had very busy, active lives for many years, traveling for work, being gone 12 hours a day, quite often being apart while one of us was away working, and it was mostly wonderful. But now? We’re happy to be home here in our little cottage.

Stay safe.

Happy Wednesday.
