Are you there, Spring?

Went out on a showing this morning and definitely had time to enjoy the beautiful sun and the little green buds.  While waiting outside, also noticed this tiny gnome in an otherwise empty garden.  Don’t know if he snuck in or if was there by design!

Mother Nature is definitely gearing up for St. Patty’s Day by putting the green out today!  So ready to get out and get my hands dirty in my own garden.

Tonight, I would love to walk Maggie but the dentist has his torture devices set up for me today!  They are trying out late night hours and I was lucky enough (dripping with sarcasm) to get an appointment.  Feel like I need a sedative to even get my teeth cleaned.

Hopefully, there is some pretty scenery out the window to look at… Wish me luck!

Happy Holidays!

So after uneventful flights both ways, too many sweets to count, time with family, and a great holiday, the Husband and I have returned home and I am half way through my first day back to work.  It was so nice to be in a place for the last couple of days with no cell phones and little internet connectivity.

 

We had a blast being with the family.  Two nights were spent with bottles of wine and Scattagories. 

For the most part, we all stay in the same house.  There were a million trips made to the grocery store (no cell phone service) and lots of dog walking (and dog napping).  It’s nice to spend time with family without distractions.

The Husband indulged me and stopped by the Indian Mound and the old state penn for photos.  I have been going to West Virginia for 5 years and I have no photos of either of these places.

I will back in normal mode tomorrow I am sure but today it’s time for catching up and rest.

Winter Wonderland!

Happy December 1st!

So as you can see, we woke up this morning to a white December.  I am not always a fan of snow (or leaving my house under any snowy condition) but being it is December 1st, snow is something to be excited about!  I think that tonight, I will do a little cleaning and a little more decorating. 

The side effect of snow is it took my 90 minutes to get to work instead of 25.  It’s tough coming in when the roads are ok but everyone insists on driving 10 miles per hour “just in case”.  My new tires give me confidence but the clearing roads are not too bad.  I still hear there are accidents but I am not worried.  I am a careful driver with two hands on the wheel!

Thankfully, there are some nice trees around my office so I felt like I should go and capture some Holiday spirit.  The snow will be even nicer tonight when we can see it on all of the Christmas lights.  Wish my camera took better night pictures.  At least the Husband and I can enjoy them on a walk this evening with the pups (dressed warmly in her sweater!).
