Day One Hundred Forty Five 2011

I took a few minutes to enjoy the sunshine and mild breezes this afternoon. And I always enjoy the colorful view from my front porch swing. Old Glory was flying today.

It was also a great day for wind chimes. Daughter Kelly gave these to me for Mother's Day, and I finally got them on a hook. Love the music they make. I kept expecting the ice cream truck to roll down the street. Sweet!

Looks like we'll have another bumper crop of mulberries. The tree is loaded with them, and they're already ripe and juicy, which means several weeks of purple bird poop on the windshield of the car and truck, not to mention the purple footprints tracking across the kitchen floor. The kids love to pick them and eat them (Elijah sampled one this afternoon) so I guess the temporary mess is all worthwhile. Click on the title of this post for a link to info about these berries. (Thanks, Ann!)

Day One Hundred Forty Three 2011

I've been waiting two years for this sight. Public works people began paving my street this afternoon. They tore it up moving water meters off the sidewalks and into the yards, digging up huge holes in the street. The holes were patched, leaving us with an ugly, bumpy road, and sad to say, that's how most of the roads are in our hilly little town. Good things come to those who wait, the saying goes. Must be true. Woo Hoo!

Day One Hundred Forty Two 2011

Got together with my coffeehouse peeps this afternoon at Poet's On The Square. We enjoyed some tasty drinks (too tasty in some cases) and shared some laughs and brought grand daughter Shelby to tears discussing our dearly departed beloved pets. We learned some important facts: never blow dry a hamster or overfeed a goldfish (unless you want it to explode). We never know where our conversations are going to take us. Always a good time here with this bunch. I especially needed the laughs. We'll do it again soon, I hope.
