| ~HOW MY WREATHS use to LOOK~ |
THE DAY HAS STARTED. Laundry is in. Catching up on the news and planning my day.
TODAY, I think I'll sanitize the things I brought HOME from the storage unit that are still in the car. 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗 I'll need to place the items on the porch and work outside on this gorgeous SPRING-LIKE day.
I brought HOME some bedding that was in storage so it is getting washed as I type. 🎄I have a CHRISTMAS bedspread that I bought years ago that I'll wash and store in a storage box. Next CHRISTMAS I hope to use it on our bed. Another bedspread will be laundered and placed in the trunk of the car to be used for outdoor outings such as TRACK MEETS and picnics. Sitting on the ground will be more comfortable with the spread stretched out. We have chairs, but the spread comes in handy when our youngest grandson plays at our feet.
When at the storage unit, I came across two wreaths that at one time were covered with forsythia blossoms that I have used for SPRING wreaths for years. In past tense, they WERE loverly. They have seen better days. The flowers fell off the wreath as I was carrying them to the car. They now look awful. You know how Charlie Brown's Christmas tree is rather sparse? Well, these wreaths are like his tree except wreaths. Sad. Hang my head in shame sad.
Recalling that I had two forsythia wreaths, I planned to hot glue Easter eggs and tiny bunnies onto them. The flowers were going to be the background for the Easter wreaths. After seeing them, I questioned if they would still work?
The actual wreath is in great shape, but the flowers have badly disappeared. When I set out to decorate the wreaths, I will make a judgment call and may have to add a lot more easter eggs on them so the wreaths are healthy looking instead of impoverish. Maybe some spring flowers as well. I'll make it work. End of story.
Into the cellar known as the dungeon I will go looking for the large and long storage boxes that I store greenery in. I'll have to have HUBBY assist me and I'll keep my cool looking for it. AN act of discipline when dealing with messes. I hate messes. I know the boxes are down there, but HUBBY says he couldn't find them.
DAY PLANNER:
Typical day includes laundry.
I'll carry the storage stuff that's in the car to the front porch and sanitize the items.
Look in the cellar for the storage boxes for greenery and if I find them, I'll box up the greenery and place in the cellar.
If I cannot find the boxes, I'll have to make a deliberate trip to MENARDS and purchase some for the greenery. How boxes disappear, I don't know!
Go out to the storage unit and load up the trash boxes that need hauled off and haul them off.
Take a mile long walk.
Fill out some greeting cards and get in the mail.
Pick up the mail.

COUNT DOWN FOR SPRING. SPRING IS ONLY 10 DAYS AWAY!!! Praising GOD for this as I have had a rough WINTER. I know that with spring that beautiful weather does happen, but bad storms come along side of it with tornadoes. Sometimes I think my marriage resembles SPRING. 🌪 It's not all a bed of roses. There are some storms in there as well.
Aging has challenges. When I was walking about yesterday, I was having some issues walking. My back was aching and it wasn't easy to walk. In my head, I think I'm still well able to do things as I am still a young woman on the inside. Mentally, I still feel young like when I was young. When I get up to walk, reality smacks me in the face. I am old and my body has a mind of its own. Walking is difficult. I am hoping and praying that I can get healthier as I go being pro-active with exercise, diet, self forgiveness and prayer.
When you desire something and it's godly, then go for it. Pray for help and direction on how to get there. Amen.
I caught myself watching OFF GRID WITH DOUG AND STACY on youtube last night. Doug was solo on the program. He's a character and a half, but many times he shares information that chimes in with what I need to know. Do you watch him? That's just one youtube program I watch. Just one.
They left their jobs in the city and settled in the country on 11 acres about 15 years ago. He built a log cabin to live in without knowing how to build one. They are imitating a lifestyle after the past as he has taken kindly to the Amish.
They sell candles made of beeswax and I'll be ordering one of their candles that they make as it is suppose to help with asthma.
I've bought their chocolate tea before and enjoy it from time to time.
May we have a pleasant day today and soak up some real sunshine.
To GOD be the glory, great things HE has done.
