STOP!
Right THERE!
And lift up your eyes
Rejoice in the everyday
Sing songs to the sun
And sing to the everyday commonness of [your] daily lives.
“Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled—
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.”

We started water on the pinto bean field. I always enjoy the opening up of a new field. Although, the work of bringing out the siphon tubes, setting them up, and then getting them started can be a wee bit taxing.
It’s always worth every little bit of extra effort in the long-run.
These marvelous spring days, make my heart and soul and my mind leap for joy.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”

My plan?
My plan is to enjoy every second of every minute which is left to me out here on the wild and beautiful world we call earth.
How about you?
From my world to your heart,
Linda
“Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.”

The grass is starting to green…that is a huge joy to me. Yes, it means work, weeds, watering and other types of ‘stuff’, but it also means sunshine, rain, and (for me) just plain happiness!
Mindy Min-Min Lou is delighted I finally brought out the summer furniture. Her most favorite spot in all the world to relax—they even beat a warm car hood in the winter.
Then, for Mindy, there is the rolling in the dry dirt, dust bath. Right up there with laying on your back, tummy up soaking in the sun—she is such an odd little cat
Walks with Mom always mean…Mindy walks on the gated pipe…”Why not?” she asks. “I never fall off.”
As for Boomer Beaglie Brown…just being with Mom is all he wants.
Wonder, just look through the eyes of a child or an animal…we can see the world in fresh new ways.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
