Another weekend

Well here it is Saturday and I am here checking things out on the computer. After having the grandkids all week and sending my wife to Florida and a quick trip to Maryland to take the grandkids home yesterday and then coming back I finally got a good nights sleep last night. Now to get up and around today. I brought s car load of stuff back from Maryland yesterday and now I have to go unpack the car and get things straightened out around the house. I have quite a fet things I would like to get done today so I will have to see what I can get done. It is still overcast and cool outside. What will the day be like, Have to wait and see. I have been trying quite hard to get the yard straightened out now that I am at home and trying to catch up on three years of not being able to keep up with the stuff around the house. I find however that this is a never ending job. With any luck I will just be able to keep up. I have found however a new found beauty in the outside. I the way God has of making things new again every spring. The green in the grass comes back and more alive than I remember it from the fall before. The renewing of the flowers. The renewing of the leaves on the trees. So much beauty all around us that quite often we just don't take the time to look, listen and experience the simple things that we should. All the fruit trees around are all starting to produce fruit. The vegatables are all starting to grow with a promise to produce later in the year. So much to see but then again I wonder just how much we fail to stop and take it all in. I always hear the phrase "stop and smell the roses", well the roses are there I just pray that everyone will take the time to stop, look, and take a good whiff of the beauty of the roses. Guess I had better close this blog and get dressed and go out and smell the roses.
