THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Spring is nature's way of saying, Let's party!
Robin Williams
DS#2’s birthday is a very long distance one for sure! A card has been sent out and I’m hoping it got there on time. You never know just how the mail will go.
Besides being his birthday today is the full April moon so maybe he has a little extra treat in store. Here we probably won’t see it as we’ve had some rain and snow here. Storms took our temps down into the lower 30’s after having some brilliantly nice days near 70. The ground is covered and the trees are laced with white this morning.
April’s full moon is know as the Full Pink Moon and it heralds the appearance of the moss pink, or wild ground phlox, one of the first spring flowers. It is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon.
You all know that snow is not one of my favorite things. I know we are to be thankful for all things, but it’s hard after the brutal winter that we had. Thankfully we’ll warm up after today and for Easter Sunday we are expecting temps in the upper 50’s with some sunshine!
I also mailed out some Easter treats to my out of town sons and their families that I’m hoping they’ll get before Easter.
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.
William Shakespeare
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for a little over a year and have now reached 1500 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1580. for DS#2, it’s his birthday today!
1581. for the blossoms that are beginning to appear around here.
1582. for sunny days just around the corner
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours.
Mark Twain
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

Happy birthday to your DS#2, Ma! You are so right about the mail service these days; we used to think things would arrive sooner than they do now, but I think with the cuts the post office has done, some things get there slower, I've noticed that with things I've sent.
I like the name of the moon this month; a very pretty name with the Full Pink Moon.
Glad to hear the weather should be nice for Easter, especially since I know lots of young ones will be sporting new outfits for that special day!
betty
Happy Birthday!! Happy Full Moon... Happy Tuesday!! :)
