Happy March

Good Morning to you!  I can hardly believe it's March already and that three weeks ago I was having surgery.  I found this picture years ago, when I first started blogging; it so reminded me of winter and spring in northern Ca.  The hills of Sonoma County are always green in the winter and by now, spring flowers and bulbs are starting to poke their heads out of the dirt. While we do experience a lot of sunshine, even in winter,  the ground here is brown and most of the time we have snow around us. 
We had a good weekend, nothing too exciting happened-just more naps for me, stitching and reading.  We watched 'Becoming Jane' Saturday night and it was so good; I wasn't sure how hubby would like it, but once he got into it he thought it was a good movie. 
I am ready to get back into my regular daily routine, but know that I've got a bit longer to regain my strength and energy.  It has been three long weeks since I took Hunter on a walk and he lets me know about it daily.  This coming weekend the entire family is heading up to Estes Park for a fun filled family get away.  WE always give both daughters and their families this trip for Christmas.  We used to take them all snowshoeing, but with little ones we had to skip that. I imagine in another year or two, they'll be back to going.  Instead, the older kids go to an indoor rock climbing facility; we spend the weekend laughing and playing games.  The girls and I will go to our favorite quilt shop and see if there are any projects that they are interested in.  We still need to finish their Feb. project,  I'm thinking next week.  I continue to work on my quilt in the evenings and it is coming along; one of my problems though is that the longer I sit and stitch on it, the more I want to add to the quilting. Keeps me busy that is for sure.
I hope you all had a great weekend and find joy in today.
Blessings,
Noreen

  8. Before you know it, it will be 6 weeks and you'll be back to your "normal" routine. But, sounds as though you are being very productive during your "down time." Happy week!

  12. Take it easy, dear one ... don't rush into anything just yet. You're getting closer and closer to returning to your normal routine, so just take it easy a little longer. Enjoy your upcoming weekend in Estes Park!

  13. I think that three weeks is the turning point for one who has had surgery! You should be feeling more like yourself now. I hope so! Take it easy though. Can't wait to see the quilt!
