We have our first sign of spring. This is our Oklahoma Red-bud. Its the first thing that seems to wake up this time of year. We had a nice bit of rain yesterday. It rained all night too. Maybe thundershowers this afternoon. I really do love all of the unsettled weather in March. We have birthdays and now a wedding in March. Our three oldest grandsons will be 18 next week. I can't believe how fast time has flown. Eighteen years ago, in one week, I went from being a Mom to a Grandmother of three. In April, I will be a grandmother of 15.
Who knew I would be blessed with such a family. Not me of course. But its all good.
I have hooked a tiny bit this week. Not like I hoped. But getting any hooking done this week of all weeks I consider a win.
This one was fun, but after I finished it I put it away. I didn't look at it for a year, then I got into my rugs and found it again and I liked it. Do you rug hookers do that too? Just put them away and then next time you go and get into your rugs, its like finding treasure? I do. I also find myself cringing at some of the monstrosities I have created.
He is so sweet and its so nice to get to be in his life. We didn't get to see him until he was 4 so its such a blessing to get to see him now.
Some one has been very patient while I write this blog. So we will put on rain shoes and go out into the rain. At least the sun has come out for a tiny bit. Its very wet and muddy.
I hope you have a lovely rest of the week. I hope I have cute pictures to post from the wedding.

"Help me to live this day quietly, easily;
To lean upon Thy great strength trustfully, restfully;
To meet others peacefully, joyously;
To face tomorrow confidently, courageously."
