    Outside My Window ~ 4.12.09

    Outside My Window…Simply beautiful…..blue skies, not a cloud in sight ~ but we are cool and windy.  It is only 47 degrees with wind gusts up to 23 mph.  We are forecasted to reach the high 50’s, low 60’s.  I guess I can’t complain about that. I am thinking…how I would like another week off to finish up my projects.  I was very optimistic in what I would accomplish this past week…..but I think we all do that when planning time off.  By the time I return to work on Tuesday, I will have finished cleaning up the backyard and the flower bed on the side of the house.  I…

    Outside My Window Today ~ 3.22.09

    Outside My Window…Sunny and cool…..not a cloud in the sky!  But looks can be deceiving….it is still not quite warm enough to bring folks out for gardening and car washing.  I need to be doing both but not when it is only 45 degrees outside!    I am thinking…about all the chores I need to be doing.  Laundry, cleaning, soap making……work, work, work when all I want to do is relax, relax, relax.  Unfortunately when I’m done here I will need to get myself moving but for now……relaxation!  🙂 I am thankful for…the remote computer access from work and a job that allows me to work from home whenever I want…
