more wishing
I'm sitting here today wishing for spring. The winter blahs have definitely set in. Today it is raining and the rest of the week is going to be gray skies with a mixture of rain and snow. It is definitely not the weather I am wanting and needing at the moment.
I haven't really been able to get around well enough for six weeks to take my own photos and I have been feeling discouraged and impatient with my recovery. At this point after my last knee replacement I was released from PT and driving myself around.
My physical therapist pointed out to me that what I am experiencing this time is a normal range of recovery and if I hadn't rebounded so quickly the last time I wouldn't know the difference. I pointed out that I have never been known as a really patient person. SIGH!!! I know when it is all done that I will once again be happy to have a pain free functioning knee for the first time in years, so in the meantime I am scouring the internet for visions of spring and what lies ahead.
when unique containers will overflow with flowers
when doors can be opened so that warm fragrant breezes can enter the house again
when driving down the road I see daffodils
and glimpses of tulips
when the birds are happy to share the garden again
and when wandering down garden paths is a day well spent
especially if it includes a picnic

The Personality of Your Home
A house is who you are, not who you ought to be.
Jill Robinson
Do you often feel like you don't live up to the expectations of what you think your house should be.

We see so many beautiful images of homes in the blog world, and often we are left feeling less than adequate,
source |
but the reality is our homes are a reflection of who we are at the moment. They express our personalities and our current life circumstances.
source |
So if your home is cluttered with toys or unfinished craft projects, look at it with eyes of love. It's your space, and it is the place where you feel safe and warm, and I just bet that those perfect spaces we see on the internet, aren't always quite that perfect.

don't fence me in
Are you dreaming of spring like me? Being stuck inside the last month has brought on a huge case of cabin fever. I can't wait to get outside and enjoy the fresh air again. Today seems the perfect day to start dreaming of spring. The sun is shining and it is almost 60 degrees.
So today I am dreaming of garden fences.
I am in love with rustic fences.
and upcycled fences
and fences with twig gates
and large colored pencil fences
and old wire fences
and bicycle garden gates
So why am I dreaming of fences? Not because I want to be contained, but because of all the promises of gardens on the other side.
