Gorgeous Morning

Today it is a little cloudy and they are predicting some showers. But yesterday!.....was a totally magnificent day when I started out on my little journey to see my mother. I want to make sure I record my enjoyable feelings.

As I was starting out in the parking lot, I looked over at the flowers and the small garden plot of lettuce and onions I have in the planter. Three sparrows settled on the railing just as I was driving away and flew to a tree across the parking lot. I had forgotten to fill the birdbath with water, so they also missed the food that was in the bread box on which the bird bath is situated.

I know that if I had a tree we would get birds. And it would be so enjoyable to be able to watch them up close.

As I drove around the street and past the front door of our building, I noticed May's clematis is spectacular. Magenta flower on a trellis about 6 feet high...and they have shaped themselves into a huge heart...just like her. How wonderful.

I am totally enjoying having my weekends off, getting paid while I train for my new job, and generally feeling like I have a hope for something sustainable in the way of future income, since my new job will pay me for going out of my way and working hard (unlike the last one).

And, another element that is enjoyable is having a new doggie friend who I can take out for walks.
