I slept in this morning… Didn’t get up till 6! And it felt great! 😊 Yesterday was a FUN day of talking, visiting and cooking for everyone at our annual Spring Fest…. But it wore me out 😉 After we got it all cleaned up and settled in for the evening, I went to sleep in my chair around 8pm.! I asked Jo why she didn’t wake me up to go to bed, she said I was sleeping so good she hated to bother me 😊 PS: It WAS some good sleep! I want to say “Thank you” to everyone who came out yesterday to visit, say hi 👋, pet the animals, eat lunch and helped to make this annual event a success! Happy Spring to ALL!

Kids having fun 😊 That’s what it’s all about! Thanks to everyone who helped us ring in Spring!

The year’s at the spring
“The years at the spring,
And day’s at the morn,
Morning’s at seven;
The hill-side’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in his Heaven-
All’s right with the world!”

Have a great Sunday Morning 🌞

What a Beautiful Sunrise! The official “1st. Day of Spring” is on Wednesday, but judging by the way it looks & feels – Spring has Sprung!

Nothing says Spring more than blooming Daffodils 🌼

I’m staying outside ALL Day today 😊

Yall have a Great Day too! ❤️

 

Spring Morning

Where am I going? I don’t quite know.
Down to the stream where the king-cups grow-
Up on the hill where the pine-trees blow-
Anywhere, anywhere. I don’t know.

Where am I going? The clouds sail by,
Little ones, baby ones, over the sky.
Where am I going? The shadows pass,
Little ones, baby ones, over the grass.

If you were a cloud, and sailed up there,
You’d sail on water as blue as air,
And you’d see me here in the fields and say:
“Doesn’t the sky look green today?”

Where am I going? The high rooks call:
“It’s awful fun to be born at all.”
Where am I going? The ring-doves coo:
“We do have beautiful things to do.”

If you were a bird, and lived on high,
You’d lean on the wind when the wind came by,
You’d say to the wind when it took you away:
“That’s where I wanted to go today!”

Where am I going? I don’t quite know.
What does it matter where people go?
Down to the wood where the blue-bells grow-
Anywhere, anywhere. I don’t know.

What a difference a day makes! Just a few days ago I had ice on my Waterfalls & my Water Wall too… BUT, not today 😊 I hope this short video & the sound of the Water will bring a bit of Zen to your morning!

Happy Pondering 🤔 Spring is upon us!

What Are Your Plans On Fat Tuesday?
March 5, 2019, 7:00 am
Filed under: Family time, General Blog Entry's, God Bless America, Love, music, Videos | Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Fat Tuesday is upon us! It doesn’t mean as much to us in Tennessee as it does to the folks down along the gulf, But if you live in Mobile or Fairhope or New Orleans or almost any town in those areas, it means an all day Party is at hand! Fat Tuesday translated from French means “Mardi Gras”!

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, a time for fasting and giving things up – BUT, not today! Today is a PARTY! Everyone eating & drinking & dancing & saying “laissez les bon temps rouler”! Which means – “let the good times roll.”

Now it seems everyone celebrates Mardi Gras, we even have a parade and celebration here in little Old Jackson, TN! 😊

My advice, have Fun! And, pace yourself!  And no matter what you do, don’t eat too much King Cake! 😂

 

Have a great Mardi Gras!

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler! 🎈🎉
