Away with the pink and red hearts. It's time for GREEN. And gold. I bought some new flowers at the grocery store this morning. I swapped out the placemats.
That's close to Sounders green.
More green. The lawn is starting to grow, or at least it will be again when it warms up a bit. We are hoping that we don't get snow as the temperature rises and moisture comes in from the Pacific.
We got the furnace fixed this week, and then I got my income taxes filed, after tracking down some missing 1099-R forms. The good news is the tax refund will cover the cost of the furnace. At least we are in the green on that. The property tax bill that came last week is another matter.
Tomorrow we will get together to celebrate Jill's 50th birthday. Her birthday is March 4th, but she will be in Hawaii then on a scuba diving trip. She's as adventurous as ever. Having a 50 year old daughter is a bit of a shock though.
The sun is still shining, the sky is blue, and the grass is green, pretty enough to be outside, if you bundle up. Maybe I'll do that now. It's time to make the trip out to the mailbox.
Stay warm, those of you in the snowy north lands.
50 that is a great age! Our oldest daughter was 50 last April. It is kinda a shock. It is fun to see your green! No green here:)
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty green! And congratulations to Jill on having a big birthday. You too, Mom. :-)
ReplyDeleteReason says that some things have to stop. However, I'm amazed at how much you get done.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is also nearing 50. How can that be? Happy birthday to Jill! Wow! She's going to be in Hawaii? Where is she going scuba diving? My son and daughter in law did the same thing.
ReplyDeleteThe green and gold is lovely. A shame that you're not able to go to the Sounder games - I hope they are televised. Sometimes our local football team games are blacked out. I guess to encourage people to attend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jill! I hope she has a wonder trip in Hawaii.
Hope our weather in Hawaii is good for Jill. Not too hot, not too windy, not too cold.
ReplyDeleteFirst Happy Birthday to Jill! We had a very nice Birthday evening with our daughter, she and her husband are going on vacations in Costa Rica at the end of the coming week. Your place mats are matching well with the flowers. You are going to be busy with your coming surgery I hope it won’t be too painful.
ReplyDeleteGlad your furnace has been repaired and that the refund tax was enough to pay the bill.
Enjoy your weekend!
Yes, change happens. So glad you are being proactive and realistic about your limitations. Love your green and gold. Very pretty. Hope the weather in Hawaii improves for Jill. It's been extremely windy here.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the 5 oh will be celebrated in grand style. Change does indeed happen and good for you to always seeming to make the best of it. Here's hoping the Sounders are off the a great season!
