Spring Things

I got this idea that I wanted a squirrel feeder in coming across one online the other day. After all, don't enough people feed the birds? And hope NOT to feed those furry little rodents hehe. Well, I want to feed those furry little rodents we have so many of! Problem? when I got home and looked at the tree I envisioned putting it on, ick! Letting outside projects go as of late would be the understatment. Well, that had to get taken care of before I put a cute feeder on it. So we got to chopping. The kids pitched in to umm admire the branches before helping me take them all down to the street. We were a good team! And the end result was a nice sense of accomplishment. =)

Now come eat little furry things! We're waiting! hehe.

Time, time, time


My button turned 3 on April 24th. We had a very nice amd simple celebration for her. Just the way it should be I've learned. I then turned 32, 5 days later. Holy God, when did that happen. I choose not to celebrate but force myself to now do something fun to make the day less dreadful and daunting. My man who loves me more than I understand why.. arranged to take me to a Dave Matthews concert in Georgia ON my birthday. That is the best birthday I think I've ever had. I love Dave, I've never seen him live and on my birthday? What more could I want. I was more exicted just to get away with Chris as a couple, something we haven't been able to do in a long, long time. Too long. We just let go, relaxed, enjoyed ourselves and slept in! We had a couple nights there in Georgia and made a great memory. That is the very best part. I hope we can make this somewhat of a regular thing. At least the getting away for a little while part, and regaining some sense of who we are as individuals and as a couple. Something we have both been lacking, that we need to make an effort to change!

Life is good man, if ya keep it simple. Keep things in priority. Keep your expectations low or at least realistic. Live for the moment. Enjoy the moment given to you as what it is, that moment in time ready to pass you by and never given back. Let the little things matter and don't ever envy, it is wasteful and it is destructive to your soul.

I hope all I love are well and peaceful. =)
