big girl pants, blessed, friends, garden, grass, lawnmower, moments, mow, nature, rain, Sunday, Technology, things, weather, whipper snip, widow

the lawn didn’t get mowed last Sunday because the grass hadn’t grown much, and this Sunday because it rained most of the day…

my friends were coming over yesterday afternoon so I decided to mow and whipper snip the garden… I waited until just before noon to give it more time to dry out…

moved a chair and some tables and then figured out how to get the mower going (been a while since I used it)… there are many things in the garden so it takes a bit of effort to get around them, even though it is a small space…

once that was done I pulled down the whipper snipper, found the battery, attached it, and went around all the edges… apparently, at some point I should have tapped it on the ground to extend the line that does the cutting…

I was rather pleased with the result, and then put the furniture back…

just before I brought out the cushions, it started to rain😣…

so we met in the house, lol…

it was time to redo the living room table, but I wasn’t quite ready for the full-on Christmas ornaments…

once I thought about it for a while and decided to fill the four sections with some of my “favourite things” I sat and made a list of what those things were to me at the moment, lol…

my list included: family, friends, garden, flowers, books, animals, nature, photography, holidays, technology, rocks, seashells, and crafts…

so I went around the house and found items that represented all of those things… after putting a red and green tablecloth in the bottom I found spots for all of the things…

I’m pleased with how it turned out;-)…

recently been part of a number of conversations about seeing the little things… lifting up everyone you come in contact with… and seeing the good in each and every person and thing…

interesting how the conversations reverberate again and again…
