on this quiet day........

not long ago.....i posted how i liked noise...in every room..............................today our house is quiet, as mr. prairie blue is still recovering from surgery.....................oh how so much has been taken out of him....it is a little more of a recovery than we expected.....better every day....but slow....tiring....the days are long for him...........................as he is napping in the other room (so unlike him)......i am trying to go about things, puttering about.....trying to be quiet...yet accomplish something...............after all....openhouse is a week and a half away...........................................................yet.............i am still blessed !

there are days..........

you ever just have those days............................you wake up on the wrong side of the bed.........everything makes you feel grouchy..........you want to stay in bed.......you see way too many things you aren't getting done.........not enough hours in the day, and if there were more hours....you still don't want to do the things you need to do..............................then you just stop......take a look around.........realize how lucky you are to still have a husband that survived a ruptured appendix......that your eyes are wide open at the possibilities of what could have been.....................and have a little talk with yourself......and realize......

.................................................................... i am blessed !

a "hard day's work"......

i have been keeping the oven HOT...........first the faux pies...........yesterday the cornbreads.........today was plum puddings............................oh i have just been keeping the oven hot.........back tomorrow.....!

.............................................................. i am blessed !

I smiled.........

today.......on this beautiful fall day.........as i walk through one end of the house to the other.........i realized....i had the radio on in the shop..........the t.v. on in the keeping room.....and the radio on in the garage.........

then.......i flashed back to visits at Mamaw Hill's house..........a house full of nic nacs......treasures of all sorts......beautiful pictures from the magazines stuck to the walls with scotch tape......granite pans lining the stove top......the old formica table top loaded ..........the player piano in the corner......and the radio....and t.v. on at the same time.............i am so much like her......i like noise.......i love to craft & create, i think i got that from her as well........................so on this day......i am flashing back to wonderful memories of a wonderful time .....and i smile....!

................................................................................. i am blessed !

waiting for repair.......

while waiting for repairs on our washer..................the laundry goods are resting on a table in the keeping room..............................as the sun was shining through the window this morning.....at just the right moment....it all looked so beautiful to me...........................................

 .......................all because we are just waiting on a repair............................................

............................................... i am blessed !

autumn air......

what is it about autumn air..........i just seem to have a smile on my face when i walk out into the breeze of a fall day.......feeling abundantly blessed on this......just an ordinary autumn day........

.............................................................. i am blessed !

guess what day it is......

uh oh............guess what day it is................  

 ..................................it's hump day !

.................................................................................................oh and our Marah's birthday.....she introduced me to this camel by the way!............................Happy Birthday sweet girl...love you!
.......................................................................................
(thought i should clarify........Marah is our daughter, i am holding her sweet look a like, Mayah)
........................................................... i am blessed !
