I'm coming today with a bit of a heavy heart. I had to more or less "lay down the law" with someone very near and dear to me this morning. It hurt my heart to say the things I had to say, but I think in the end, it may make things work for the better. At least I hope so. I only hope and pray he reads his email, cause we cannot get him to answer phone calls or even his door when someone is knocking.

On the other side of life, spring is in bloom finally around here.... when I walk out my front door, I can smell the beautiful lilac bushes that are almost in full bloom. Delicious.... simply delicious.

From the cherry tree in the front yard...

To the apple tree in the back yard....

At the side of our home is a single yellow flower. We wish Mom was still here to tell us what it is. It has tulip leaves, but it sure doesn't look like a tulip. It keeps getting larger and opens wider each day, blessing us with it's sunshine color.

All these things are so lovely and heart warming. I only can pray that my dear one will soften his heart and let us in. Pray with me, won't you?

Today's agenda is to wash laundry and get it hung out, maybe mow the yard, and be outside tending to the yard a bit. Do a little spring time spruce up while dh is at work. He wants to go get a load of wood this afternoon when he gets home, so I imagine we'll do that too.

I was contemplating seeing if our gd could stay the night tonight, but me with no sleep today, I'm not quite sure I would be in "Grandma-style" for an almost 2 year old. I'm afraid I may be a bit cranky. I may just clean the house... do a bit of spring cleaning around here.... I already have all the windows open and a lovely breeze is blowing through.

Yes, I think spring cleaning is on the agenda also. It will keep my mind off the issues at hand.
