CCCC,DDDD, EEEE.....

There is not much going on today, but I decided to write anyway. As I write, a nice gentleman is tuning my big old piano, so I am listening to the tapping of keys, as he makes his way up the piano notes. It has been a while since the piano has been tuned, but so far, I haven't heard any under-the-breath nasty words. Looking good, or I should say, sounding good.

The sun is actually shining today, after a rainy yesterday. The rain washed most of the snow away around the house, leaving in its wake, puddles and mud. I think there is a peculiar odour to mud. Perhaps today's sun will dry it up a bit. Next week will bring with it the first day of spring, however with snow forecast for the weekend, I am not holding out much hope of a real start to spring on that particular date, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. Warmer and dryer weather would mean that I could start cleaning up around the place. There are shingles from the out-building that have blown off through the winter, and are now scattered about.

Yesterday was another good Wednesday. Just us gals, my two daughters and my two granddaughters went out to lunch and spent the afternoon together. So nice. I love being with my girls. Sometimes, I just sit back and listen to them and watch them, and love them to pieces. Is it ok to be proud of my girls? What a silly question. Of course it is!

An old picture, but I do not want to post any snow pictures, :)
or mud puddle picture for that matter.
 
Have a good day.

  1. What a lovely feeling, sitting there just listening to your children ineracting with their children. Of course you're proud: and deservedly so. Bask in the feeling. I'm sure you earned it.

  2. Bonnie, how sweet, how wonderful, to be proud of your girls! I wish I had girls with which to have lunch. (My only girl is far, far away.) Our piano is not tune-able any more. At least that's what the last tuner decried. :(

    1. It is nice to have the girls close enough that I can see them fairly often. My piano can't be brought up to concert pitch, but it is good enough for me.

  3. Being with your girls is certainly the best place to be, Bonnie, even when snow is in the forecast. :)

    I can hear the piano being tuned and it's a sound I certainly miss. (Lost my dear mother-in-law's piano in Katrina.)

    Happy St. Patrick's Day, Bonnie - I think I'll sow some zinnia seeds today as spring has certainly arrived in Louisiana. <3

    1. Happy for you that spring has arrived. It will be a while yet, up here. It is cold and windy today. You mentioned Katrina. That was so devastating. I cannot imagine living through something like that.
