Well, seven months from today is Christmas Day. Bud would be so proud that I remembered that! I’m not nearly ready. I do have a lot of light strings in the house right now, but they are red/white/blue, not Christmas!

Lights on my computer desk

I baked the scones this morning and had warm ones for breakfast. I finished reading the book I started yesterday, then spent the day cleaning and finishing chores. I changed the outdoor garden flags and put a set of lights in my wooden bucket in the kitchen. I put the banners on the decks, too. Dad gave me two banners and I put them out several times a year for holidays!

Once the house was clean, I cut the grass. I got the mower wheel hung up in a rabbit hole and when I pulled it out I smashed my little finger into the fencing. I think I stoved it because it still hurts. I watered the Mom-lilac and a few other plants, and noticed the the roses were starting to bloom. Two out of the four bushes have flowers! The other two have lots of buds.

Kelly called and we talked for a long time. Matt wants me to help him weed a flower bed next week – in Wheeling! So I have to figure out which day will work best when it won’t rain. And that was my day – at least part of it.

I think it’s a bit more modernized now….

May 25 – Describe a very proud moment in your childhood. “When my Aunt Effie told me I could iron clothes better than most grown-ups. We used irons we heated on the stove. If they weren’t hot enough the wrinkles wouldn’t iron out. If the iron was too hot you scorched the cloth. I was 8 years old then, in 1938.”

Yesterday’s vacation destination was Teton, Wyoming. Yesterday was National Wyoming Day so it seemed like the right choice. The picture posted was a Grand Teton Scenic View. Here are other sites in Wyoming:

Jackson Lake
Jenny Lake Scenic Drive
Snake River Overlook
Phelps Lake
Oxbow Bend
Trail Ride Views
Wildlife
Schwabacher Landing
Grand Prismatic Springs

Calendar inspiration – Doing anything for the first time can be scary.  Seek guidance; wonderful opportunities await you!

TOMORROW May 26th is:

I’m not into either of those things. SO – I’ll keep my eyes open for something else fun. Have a terrific Thursday! God bless…
