Speed of Spring

Spring is coming and going so quickly!  I took a walk around the block this morning and noticed all the buds and blooms have already opened.  It has all happened so quickly!  These beautiful pansies have wilted in today's heat.  I have to remind myself to enjoy life by the minute.

A flowering quince is only blooming for a week!  I'll have to be sure to notice it every day.  Treasure today!

A sleeping cat in the sun! What treasures life is made of!  Treasure every day!

• I get a couple of phone calls a day from friends and family just checking in.  It warms my heart.  Why don't you call someone today just to check in on them?

Spring is wonderful, but the mornings are still a little chilly!  Hard to cook breakfast in a cold kitchen,  I do miss the fire in the wood stove these mornings!

Treasure today,
Lottie 

Fall Comes to Us

For years our family took long day trips driving around

 the Smoky Mountains in fall to see the leaves changing.  Majestic views! :) 

But now that the boys have grown up and are making memories far away

and husband and I can no longer take long driving trips,

fall comes to us!

( A week ago across from our mailbox)

Love,

New Hand Rails

Hello bloggy friends!  I've been missing in action for a few months.  All is well.  I lost some of my pictures I was going to put on the blog so I'm a little behind.  So I'm going to jump right back in!

I'm so thrilled to have rails to hold on to after twenty years of naked steps! Next month I turn sixty and have balance problems so these rails really make me happy!

Hope you are having a great June!  I'm off for a walk!
Love,
Lottie
