Milkweed

A couple of quick happy things:

  • Work went well last night. I did jobs that I prefer, and that don't tend to hurt. These are very good things. Also, I started the night where I ended Saturday night and found my lost water bottle. Yay!
  • Nanni is adorable sleeping by the window. My being there to take the picture woke her up. I don't think she minded though because she got scritches.

  • The milkweed seeds have taken the place of where the flowers were.  I don't know why I love milkweed so much, but I do.

Monday-Chore Day

Happy things from today:

  • Yesterday I planned to get up early so I could get some groceries before things got busy. When I woke up I remembered that I needed to clean the bathroom before I showered to leave. So I procrastinated. Then I was hungry. You know what? I had to do dishes before I could eat. In the end, I'm happy to say that dishes got done, the bathroom was cleaned, food was consumed, and the stores weren't overly busy by the time I got there.
  • A friend needed mayonnaise and because I was shopping when I did, I was able to pick it up for them and deliver.  
  • I went outside looking for flowers to make me happy. I found daylilies, Queen Anne's lace, and bees on the milkweed.

Daylillies

My not so happy thing today is my poor spelling. Yesterday I totally spaced that ‘muscle’ is a homophone with ‘mussel’. They ate mussels yesterday, not muscles.

My happy things today are:
  • That I can go back and update my spelling error from yesterday so it won't exist for future readers.
  • Yesterday was also a busy day which left me pretty tired today. I'm glad I was able to rest.
  • Outside the daylilies are starting to bloom. I noticed them yesterday and got pictures today. The common evening primrose and milkweed are also blooming.

  • There is a frog (toad?) that seems to have taken up residence between the window and the screen of an open window tonight.

Milkweed

A short list of happy things for today:

  • Keziah is so talented. She took a stuffed possum and made clothes to decorate it for a friend.  She even colored the hair to try to match her friend's hair.

  • In my photo memories there was a picture of milkweed from last year. I decided to take a picture of it for this year too. I enjoy watching milkweed grow. Soon it will blossom.
