My son’s evergreen tree would be very pretty if it just wouldn’t keep reaching out to the neighbors. They don’t want it’s help, and they whack off the limbs every time they cross their property line. Chuck likes the tree without cutting any of it’s growth off. He would let the tree grow inside his front door if it ever reaches that point. Therefore the poor evergreen is lopsided, and slightly ugly. I’ve ask him to cut it down, but after fifty years of growth he won’t hear to it. He is a lover of nature in every respect. And it’s been said that he could make a hoe handle grow. I have to partly agree to that. Come spring he will have all kinds of specially ordered plants, and garden stuff growing everywhere. That’s all it takes to make him happy. I must say he has helped me a lot since my husband passed away. I was at his house this morning helping him with a chore.
Today has been the warmest day we’ve had in a long time. I worked some out side in my shirt sleeves. I have to be happy, and even excited about that, after a few very, below freezing, days around the new year. These past few nice days have lifted my spirit’s a lot. I had a trying day yesterday because so many of my friends, and family, had the flue, and I couldn’t reach some of them. Even when the weather is beautiful I still want my friends to be well. I finally heard from some of them, and I was feeling a lot better myself this morning. God never leaves us in a worry mode for long. How great God is.
I have had a busy day today, so I feel lucky to be putting even a few trivial words on for my blog. I came home and put dinner on to cook before I started my blog. I have meatloaf, mashed potatoes. Cole slaw, and green beans. Chuck had to go to the doctor in Amarillo today, so I felt like he needed a hot meal when he gets home. I have not seen any news today, so I’m planning on tuning into that for the rest of the evening. After that a hot bubble bath, and p j’s will put me to bed in comfort and rest.
God Bless
