Full Moon Madness

“There are nights when the wolves are silent, and only the moon howls.”  – George Carlin

It is that time of month again.   Full Moon madness, yea!

People are emotional, computers are crashing, and chaos reigns – once again.

We should have called her ‘Chaos’...
And people (granddaughter Genie) are just standing out on a pile of snow howling back at the moon. 💞

Whatever you are doing to deal with this month’s offering of moon madness, just know that tomorrow it peaks and we gradually slide back to a place of peaceful sanity. 👍

Take care and have a great rest of the day💞🌞

April in Saskatchewan

“Spring has sprung, the grass is riz.  I wonder where the flowers iz?”.   If our grass has done any rising, I haven’t seen it. 🙄

Woke this morning to  fresh falling snow.
Molly doesn’t mind our lingering winter season.
A good day to start the Calla Lily bulbs that I picked up from Dollarama. The packages say they can be started indoors.
Memories of April 2021
And more April 2021 memories.

Since the fresh snow is covering up the areas of treacherous ice and water, it looks like our daily walk is on pause for today. I should get going around here and get some laundry and housekeeping caught up. And… start a few seeds and bulbs, just because it is APRIL. 💐💐🪻

Take care and have a great day! 💞🌸

Happy New Year🎊

What is more exciting than celebrating a new year? January 1st – the first day of an entire year of potential, possibilities, and fresh opportunities. 🥳

Some of us are less excited than others.

This year is a bit different for me. On February 14th, 2022, I embarked on a health and wellness journey that has become a new and better way of life for me. Lately, I have been anticipating wrapping up the end of Year One of my new lifestyle and starting a fresh and fearless Year Two on February 14th, 2023. Which is great, but what to do with January 1st, the traditional day for kicking off a new year?

I hadn’t thought about it much, but while messaging with granddaughter Genie this morning she asked me if I had any goals for 2023. I had to give it some thought but I decided YES – this the year!

2023 is the year I suck it up and get back behind the wheel to do my share of the household driving (which I have been rather shirking for a number of years now). But no more! As much as I have never enjoyed being a driver, I am a relatively competent and experienced driver and the time has come.

Not only am I going to do more driving this year, but I am going to enjoy it. That is what I do now. 🛻

Anyone else with a goal for 2023? I would love to hear all about it. 🤗

Happy New Year! Take care and have a great year. 💞🌟
