A brightened end of the day!

Oh what a day it has been....

Got up early to realize that I didn't have to go to work right away because I had a dr. appointment (which meant I had to drive today- I usually bus it to work). So I got up, got ready, sat around, ate breakfast, read thru some blogs, packed my bag for work, then headed off to the appointment. And of course, even though it was a usual check-up, it always takes longer than expected! Thankfully, all is good and "normal". Well, at least my normal. Then off to work to be busy all day. And halfway thru the day, I realized I wasn't wearing any make-up... I can't even tell you who I talked to, or what all I had for lunch, it was just go, go, go... And since I got there late, I stayed late to make up the hours, which meant I didn't leave until 7pm. Ick. Then walk 15 minutes to the car (the joys of parking far away to get a cheaper parking charge), 30 minute drive home, and I was finally having some dinner by about 7:50pm. A bit more blog reading, coupon searching, and then I looked outside. And this is what I saw when I walked out onto the deck:


I can honestly say that I did not do any editing to this photo, it was this striking!

Nothing like an amazing sight like that to remind me that all things that happened today, all the busy-ness and crazy-ness, is just a little spec and to never miss the little things. As they say "Don't forget to stop and smell the roses." Absolutely AMAZING!!

What made you smile today?

Always,

Happy Friday!

A very busy day it was...full day of work, 9-holes of golf, a trip to pick up the Mr's new ring (the other is in the bottom of a lake), the phone store, then home to eat dinner.

One of the benefits of living near, and working in the city are views like this! Maybe its just the field I'm in, but I love skylines with all of the architecture and all..

And who doesn't love a sunset?!? I know I love them!

A good end to a busy day! Just a few more stitches on my batik flowers, then its off to bed!

Home again!

We are finally home after a long day of riding in the car and spending time with family.

My husband's cousin is home for a bit on leave from the Navy, so we all got together to see him up at their family farm. It was good to see family again, and turned out to be a beautiful day to sit out and enjoy the company. And as I had said in the previous post, it was quite a trip there and back, 2 hours one way. So needless to say, I got a bit of sewing done on my batik flowers for my Grandmother's Flower Garden! I finished 3 flowers with a 4th started!



And as I'm sure you all know already, I absolutely love sunrises and sunsets, and there was a gorgeous one on the way home!



Now to watch some tv, SNL, and make my popcorn!

Day 22: Happy Earth Day!

First off, Happy Earth Day to all! The wonderful inspiration today was seen tonight on a nice evening bike ride with my hunny.

After a long, and somewhat stressful day at work, I was ready to do something a bit active. A bike ride on a cool, spring evening was just the answer! And not only did it get my blood pumping, but I saw this beautiful sight on the way home:



What more does one need than a beautiful sunset that fills the sky with color to end a rough day?

What inspired you today??
