Come Spring!

I keep saying it...like a mantra; Come spring and I will be better. Come spring and simply seeing the sun will be enough to make everything right...come the Springtime all will be well.

I've planned a party. The garden will look wonderful, all Lavender and roses. JP's grape vine will be flourishing in it's new position facing due south and the hammock I have fallen in love with will have arrived and been hung and invites me to swing.. All the children will be here and we will have cooked up a storm of chicken and potato salad and crudités, of  crisp French bread and a groaning cheeseboard.

I forgot to say that of course the weather will be perfect, warm enough to be glad of that breath of a breeze and the touch of a new cashmere  cardie...a perfect compliment to my maxi dress of  voile.

Of course you are all welcome

  23. I got your message on my blog....told ya' I luv ya'! When you love someone, you want the best for them....and I do want the best for you. I fell in love with you the first time I read your post....and you have held my heart ever since. Why? I don't know....but there is just something about you and your spirit, your soul, your warmth, that if I wasn't living across an ocean, or if I had money, I would be there to help you get through this. Seriously. I pray for you daily....that you will be comforted, that your pain will be lessened, that you may enjoy the days to come with your loved ones. You truly are an amazing person to come out of what you were brought up in, loving people, trying harder at life than anyone I have ever known, and then becoming a nurse and healing people....I have such admiration for you. There was just a connection that I felt when I read your posts that just enveloped me and took hold of my heart. My friends and family keep you in their prayers. Know you are loved.
