Little Moments in a Life - 7

Morning coffee, Titus and sunshine

Enjoying Bella Grace magazine Issue 1

Didn’t feel good all day. Laid around most of the day.

Laying in bed at the end of the day and hear Titus dreaming and barking in his sleep. I wonder what he's dreaming about.

Thankful for a job that I can work from home

Elijah joining me in the craft room to do school work while I work. This is corona life

Grocery store trip, they are limiting the amount of people in the stores. Signs on the floor for social distancing to stay 6 feet apart

Sitting on the porch with Fonzy and Titus while a spring rain rolls in

Late night FaceTime with Ezekiel and Sydney while Fonzy and I lay in bed.

80 degrees 

Cleaning flower beds of weeds. India Arie playing in my ear. Dancing and weed pulling

Finding 2 dead bumblebees, holding them in my hand and stroking their soft furry bodies

Earth worms wiggling back in the ground

Happy it's the weekend even though the days are running into each other. Sometimes it's hard to keep the days straight.

Watering the ferns and plants on the front porch in the quiet of the morning. Birds chirping happily 

Sunshine warming me

Roses are starting to bloom

Steaks and peaches on the grill

Preparing the coffee to brew and hear the sound of a train horn from the tracks down the street. The sound brings me back to my childhood home that had tracks right across the street. I loved hearing the trains at night. The rhythmic sound of the wheels rolling on the tracks. Hearing trains always brings me back to my childhood home.

“Look Fonzy I sewed my first bodice!”
Fonzy: “What is that! We are in the apocalypse and you are sewing a Halloween dress!”

Thankful I have my own craft space to leave messy if need be.

Pizza and wine for dinner

Warm sunshine me as I water my plants. Noticing the new leaves on the trees in the backyard that seem to have sprouted overnight

Binging Ozark with Fonzy on the couch

Seeing a bright red cardinal in the backyard

Titus birthday today! He’s 7. My puppy love!

Why, you ask, do I write this status?

One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.

We have so much!

Be thankful. Be grateful.

Be kind to each other - love one another - support everyone.

We are all one! ❤️

Coronavirus - April 1

We are in the third week of work from home due to the Coronovirus and in just a matter of weeks the world is totally different from what we are use to. Most days I feel like we are OK. We are homebodies, so staying home isn't really that much different for us, but there are some days I watch too much news and my mind runs wild with all the possibilities of terrible things that could happen. It's scary sometimes. When I feel stressed I've been turning to one of my many hobbies, knitting, baking, sewing, letter writing. Anything to take my mind off the madness. I've also started writing notes in my phone of little moments in my day to day to remember this time. How our days are spent, my thoughts, anything I want to remember. I plan on sharing them here on the blog. Today is the first day of little moments in a life.

The first sip of my morning coffee as I putter across the creaky wood floor to the dining table and computer, my new “office” in these Coronavirus times.

Neighbor coming down the street chasing after her dog. As she gets closer she yells, “ I don’t have the virus” I feel like I’m in a movie

On the couch cuddled close with Fonzy. I’m under a blanket, he lays his head on my shoulder while scrolling through his phone and I’m finally warm after being cold all day

Electric blue nail polish 

Turning on the sewing machine after several long months and sewing my first bodice for a dress. I couldn’t stop smiling at my accomplishment.
