A Little Wednesday Randomness . . .

So it looks like we dodged another snow storm here in New York.  Hallelujah!!!  I absolutely love snow and being cozied up in our little cottage during a snow storm is one of my absolute favorite things in the world, HOWEVER, I think I'm ready for spring.  The only thing that makes me hesitate when I say that is the fact that after spring comes summer ~ hazy, hot and humid New York summers.  The pits!!

In my garden.


The sun has been staying out longer and feeling just a little bit warmer.  There are hints of flowers coming up in the garden and the birds and squirrels that have been frequenting our back yard all winter to eat have been visiting less frequently.  I imagine they're busy building their nests for the new babies that will be coming in another month or so.

 And this little girl is thrilled that she'll be playing in her beloved sand box and swinging on swings again real soon!!



Many blessings for a wonderful Wednesday ~ Wendy

What a Difference a Week Makes . . .

This time last week, we were sweltering and in the middle of a week long heat wave.  This morning, my car thermostat read 64 degrees at 11 am.

 The central air conditioning is off and the windows are wide open!!!

 There's a wonderful breeze blowing our little flag around and the weatherman said the lower temps are supposed to last for a couple of days.  : )

Ready to be picked!!

 I'm already thinking about what to make for dinner tonite.  I'm thinking maybe some chicken parm.  I have to take advantage of this "able to turn on the oven without sweltering in my kitchen" kind of day!!  : )


Many blessings for a beautiful day from a very happy girl who's dreaming of autumn ~ Wendy
