And Friday Fave Fives Make Me Happy, Too. I'm back after another busy week. I've been home since Saturday evening, readjusting my schedule to 'home'. Now I need to take a few minutes to write down my five blessings from this crazy week.
1. The health conference we attended last weekend was great. So full of good and helpful information.
2. We've gone from blustery rain and thunderstorms to sunny spring weather. I am thankful for the gentler days because we have been able to do some garden work in the afternoons. Areas are being weeded, some seeds have been sown, one of three rhododendrons has been planted (the other two should be in the ground by this evening), the raised bed has additional soil added. I love being in the garden. A bonus here is that the two teenage grandsons came to help.
3. One early afternoon the weather was perfect. Younger Daughter, the Nurse, and I took a long walk/hike with the two dogs. The dogs hadn't seen me for almost three weeks and stayed as close as they could during the whole hike. (my daughter's photo)
4. Our wonderful next door neighbor is a musician. He sings as a community member of the local university gospel choir. Their concert was last weekend. Wow! It was beautiful!
5. My last fave involves another neighbor on our street. Sunday morning, just as we were turning off our dead end street/cul de sac, The Professor's phone rang. He answered it. "You have a ball of yarn hanging out the door of your car!" We pulled over and checked. Yep. My cream yarn from the afghan I'm knitting right now was trailing us all the way from our driveway. Oops. We jumped out and gathered it all up while we laughed. Of course, that neighbor was laughing with us. And another neighbor family on their way to a soccer game saw us and giggled. So now evidently we're 'famous' on our street for having yarn balls following us through the neighborhood. Anyway, it made a funny story. (But I was able to untangle and rewind the yarn, and didn't lose much at all of it.)
I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! Watch for all the blessings every day.

Sweet post . . . Happy you were able to save your yarn, LOL
The photo of the doggies sticking close to you on the hike is so sweet and I love the story about the yarn! Made me smile too to end the week. Thank you for sharing!
...home is my happy place too. I wish you a Happy Mother's Day.
Haha, I'm laughing here and how appropriate is that coming out of your door! How sweet that those doggies missed you! Happy Mother's day to you. (I need two teenage grandsons for my weeds!!)
That's hilarious! 🚗🧶
HAHAH that's awesome about the yarn. so funny!!
LOVe that you could get in a quick hike and time in the garden. We finally have no more rain and are seeing some glorious spring sunshine and warmer temps! Happy Mother's Day!!
That yarn story made me smile — what a moment! 😊
Your week sounds full of beauty and blessings.
How was your Mother’s Day weekend? I hope it was just as lovely. 💐
Funny story about the yarn. The hike sounds wonderful. So glad you were able to get out in your garden. We had thunderstorms last night with a bit more rain predicted. Not going to complain as it's been so dry up until now.
Ha, about the yarn. That is funny!!
The hike sounds perfect. I love the photo.

Oh that made me smile - with the yarn flowing out the car door!! Nice neighbor to get ahold of you and let you know:) Here's to a nice week ahead!
I'm glad the health conference was so helpful. Home is my happy place, too. We're getting a lot of rain here--and the forecast shows more all week. I guess those May flowers need April showers. The gospel choir concert sounds lovely. How funny about the yarn.
Aw, that is so sweet that your dogs missed you so! Glad you were able to save the yarn! :)
