How can it be mid May already? The weather has changed. The grass is vibrant green. The flowers are blooming. Spring makes me happy. And posting my Friday Fave Fives every week makes me happy too. Being grateful leads to being even more grateful. Here are my faves for this week.
1. Saturday. I went with two friends, a mom and daughter, about an hour north of their house to place called Milk and Honey Acres which was having an open house. Our main purpose was to talk to one of the owners who is a weaver and spinner. We had a good conversation and learned a few important bits of information. The extras? Beautiful views of farms from the car windows. Time with friends. Sitting in the back seat with an adorable one year old girl who my friend was watching that day.
2. Sunday. Mother's Day. All my four children either called or texted me. I am proud to be the mom of those four. (photo is an old one-- taken in 2011, but one of my favorite ever pictures of them)
4. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Time in the garden. I am trying to spend at least an hour each day (when it's not raining!) in the garden. I'm weeding, planting, digging. My garden is my happy place.
5. Friday. Today I spent the morning in my garden. Then in the afternoon, I helped my daughters in theirs. That is a win-win. Time in the garden and time with my girls.
And I didn't even mention the wonderful time we spent with T on Wednesday morning at one of our favorite coffee shops. And dinner with Nurse Daughter and her BF and then a walk around the area.
How was your week?
