I finally went outside today and took a few pictures of our snow,
it seems to have snuck up on us very suddenly about a week ago.
Trust me I was not ready, I still had water in my fountain,
plants in my flower beds, leaves to be raked, and plenty more to do.
Today I sat on one of the chairs and breathed in the fresh air.
That was heaven in itself, the air was so crisp and fresh,
After a few breaths I felt as though I was slowly coming to life,
as if the strings that had been attached to my limbs were being kicked off.
I threw a few snowballs at the dogs, they seemed dumfounded to see these balls of white
disapear as they splat on the ground in front of them.
Yes I had energy once more, so I decided I would shovel some of the walks
for exercise and to help my husband. It was that really heavy wet snow,
I went slow but sure, sat and rested a few times, threw more snowballs and proceeded
until the job was done.
It felt warmer, still cloudy, but somehow warmer,
Back into the house I went and made myself a hot cup of tea!
The dogs were just barking and when I opened the back door,
I heard the most beautiful sound, it was that of a bunch of birds,
chirping, playing, dancing,
as if they were sent by my friends whom also danced
and they sang in my heart today as well.
I grabbed my coat and went and sat delighted at how the day had unwound right before my eyes!
It was beautiful. peaceful, serene, refreshing, entertaining, delightful.
For a while today
It was my Best day!
what a wonderful day. sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteLoved your day, it is melting here now and is suppose to warm up for the next several days and I am looking forward to it so that I too can finish my garden and ornaments....:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteWell, I did dance for the sun for you as promised even though the rain fell continuously out of the sky for me.
ReplyDeleteBut, when I hear you tell about this delightful day, it's fairly clear that the sun lives in your heart and how it looks outside really matters not at all.
Another thing I love about you.
noooooo.....not yet !
ReplyDeleteit's just too early isn't it ?
october just hasn't had a chance...november like weather came meddling in and ruined everything that october is all about and I'm not happy about that....
but you are....
and maybe I need to learn from you :)
Sounds like you had a great day playing with the dogs and accomplishing a big job of shoveling snow. You keep passing along a positive attitude in your blog and sometimes I really need your reminders. You keep changing the background in your blog and each one is better and better.
ReplyDeleteTechnoBbe, I love changing the backgroounds, just to see the differences, thats the artist in me I guess. I am glad if anything I write helps.
ReplyDeleteBeth, we have had snow for about a week, 10 days, we usually don't get it until November, the odd time even in December. I fought it all last week and decided today well if it is here I am going to enjoy it! It is a reminder that I have to get outside everyday. I bet you capture some great winter shots. Hopefully we have more days of fall first though.
Holly whaat a kind thing to say!, i thought get out there and live with it, make the most of the day, it did change my whole outlook.
Bernie, I hope to have energy tomorrow so I can accomplish getting things done, p.s it is supposed to be sunny so I think the day should be great for us both.
Char it was a nice day, hope yours was well too.
ReplyDeletesneaux, as Beth would say with a sneer ... but oh, does it sound beautiful! Accompanied by birds and energy and snowballs ... I haven't seen snow in donkeys' years, let alone made or thrown a snowball!
ReplyDeleteToni, today the sun is shining and it could be gone in a couple days which I am thrilled about or it would be a very long winter. I love it but just not yet. I Forget that there are things that I can do here that others can't, then again you can do so much more there.Have a great weekend, hope you do something fun. Friday will go by quick, I know how you don't like them. love to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day you had Cinner.
ReplyDeleteLoved hearing about it!
I so love your positive attitude!
Take care & have a great weekend.
Oh, love the new look of your blog!
A hug for you, my friend!
And joy and blessings to you ... always!
Margie:)
P.S Shall visit you again on Sunday or Monday as hubby is taking me away for the weekend
Snow...hmmmm...something we don't see allot here and glad of it. The ocean has a way of keeping the air warmer throughout the winter. Last year we weren't that lucky and got allot of snow....but it simply isn't the norm. Glad you had a wee burst of energy won't your husband be surpised when he gets home!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visits and comments to my blog. I LOVE your attitude!! I would not give up the laughter either! It's nice to find people who have overcome their limitations and continue life having the best day yet! I will be returning here for further reading.....have a great weekend. Hugs and Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteHi Cora, nice to have you drop by, I am glad you will be coming back. Have a great weekend too. Be well.
ReplyDeleteHi Crista, you would laugh because today all the snow melted, so all that effort yesterday was for nothing I guess, but it was so cold, I really did not think that the snow would go. Hope you have a great weekend and are well. Take care.
Margie,Have a great weekend, I hope you have a great time. You seem to be whisked away a lot. lucky you. Take care,
HI CINNER-
ReplyDeleteI love being outside when it snows. I was right with you, shoveling, tossing snow balls, breathing deeply, rosy cheeks and feeling alive, so alive. And then a nice hot cup of tea - there are some things I believe we could talk about - places where my story is yours and your is mine. I feel that is true. One day, yes, one day indeed.
And Cinner? Thanks for being you.
Love Gail
peace......
i'd love a day like this too...
ReplyDeleteShadow it really was lovely, it made me feel like a kid again. yeah.
ReplyDeleteGail one day indeed..be well my friend. it is Saturday am and we are off to get a few groceries and pay bills. Cold and gloomy outside, I think we will watch movies today or go visit Wains Mom, Tired today, but need to get out. Until next week.
I am glad that you had a good day....I smiled as I saw that you threw snowballs at the dogs...and their reactions to the white orbs flying toward them...but missing them!! How fun...for you and for them. I'm happy that you had a good day, my friend. The chirruping of the birds set the perfect tone.
