Computer frustrations this morning (no-thanks to Microsoft) make this tulip picture all the more beautiful to me as I look for the “miracle” in this computer age.

That being said, today I’m going to focus on reaching out to others in love,  not via technology, but with a simple hand-written note card to mail to a friend.

I’m going to do hands-on work on a knitting project for charity.

I’m going to cook a real dinner, not microwaved, but the old-fashioned way – with love and gratitude and natural ingredients.

And I’m going to turn off my cell phone, turn off my computer, and listen to the birds singing and savor the smell of spring and rain.

Today, I’m focusing on the simple miracles of my very simple life.

And I wish you all a miracle in your life today, too.

 

To Clone or Not to Clone?

Spring house-cleaning, painting, carpet-cleaners coming tomorrow, furniture delivery on Thursday, car issues, an online class, and more friends than I can ever remember at one time wanting to meet for lunch, dinner, coffee…. and Easter is nearly here!

I need a clone!!!

Perhaps one of the lovely redheads in this group picture  (in a store at Cherry Creek North) would be willing to help me out.  🙂

Busy Birds

“My favorite weather is bird-chirping weather.”
Loire Hartwould

Yesterday was another spring-like day and the birds were singing their little hearts out.

Once again, a flicker was tapping out secret love messages to his beloved from our chimney top, while this lovely bird was checking out real estate upside down very high up in a very tall tree!  I’m afraid this limb is far too alive for a home though!

Without my Samsung 21 x zoom, this picture would have been impossible!

Truly, bird-chirping weather makes the spirits lighter and the days more melodic.
