Sunshine Makes Me Wanna Sing!

More snow fell yesterday/ last night. But what a difference a day makes! The sun is out today and I am cheered!

The temp on the deck porch this morning:
Almost 14 degrees! Heat wave!

I have to work tonite so I knew I needed to get out this morning and shovel away the new snow. I tied Cady out on a long lead and she kept me company while I shoveled. It was a much, much lighter load than yesterday!
I love my shovel.....it's easier for me to use than a straight handled shovel. And I do own one of those, too.....I keep it in my car....just in case!

This makes me want to sing......♪♫ "Nothing but blue skies....heading my way"♪♫♪
This is the tall bush beside my front deck door steps. Gotta love that blue backdrop, ain't it grand?!?! Snow, blue skies, sunshine, greenery....all I need is a rainbow!
♪♫ "Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows...."♪♫

I found the icicles hanging from the roof to be even kinda pretty this morning....at least they're not accompanied by an additional 6 or so inches of snow! That's a huge blessing!

Last, but certainly not least, Cady.....with her teal bandana on today. Gotta admit, she doesn't pose very well, so getting her to sit when we went to come in was a plus. I love my dog...she is such great company for me!
 There is also some snow on the deck from where the wind blew it in under the windows that line the porch. Not much, but enough!

Spring, I just know it, must be around the corner....sometime between now and the end of May. That should be plenty of time for all the snow to melt again, right? Flowers to bloom....birds to sing....dandelions to grow....grass to be mowed...wow, moving right into summer in heartbeat!

So, today, with a heart attitude of gratitude, I am blessed beyond measure and hope the same is true for you!

Enjoy today while it is today!
Sue

  1. The snow on the tree and the blue sky is beautiful. We have been having some warm down here in NC. It is cloudy and cooker today but no snow in site. I am ready for Spring.
