Morning Offering given
Village peaceful

Wonderful surprise last evening DD#5 and husband came up from Oklahoma for her 21st birthday (tomorrow) and Valentine Day. Best surprise!
The spring bulb pot is finished (changed pots). Did I mention I am rooting sweet potatoes for the vines, and a avacado pit to grow a tree. Hopefully it will all happen.
Red hearts still need cutting out, about half finished. Making valentines.
The recent snow melt has gotten me a bit excited about the patio again. I have this vision in my head of a nice flower filled spot to drink morning coffee and watch the sunrise. I am so ready for spring. In actuality, it is more beautiful in my mind than it will ever be in real life.
Then there’s my old friend, the front porch, that gives me a spot to watch the world go by as well as providing a prayer space to hear the bells of Sacred Heart three times a day while praying the Angelus. The big wicker chair is a perfect spot to pray the Rosary, wave from to passersby, or watch the birds. I wish I had known years ago about the importance of a quiet spot in this hectic place called life.
Roses from DD#5 sit on top the home altar that’s cluttered with candles, lists, photos, statues, and scripture. My winter quiet spot that does not see enough of my time or attention.
