A Couple of Bright Spots

I've been playing catch-up since this past Mother's Day Sunday.  My own Mother is doing fine in her new home and decided to have a garage sale last Saturday.  Needless to say she needed Dave and I to carry out the sale and clean her garage etc.  Looking back I guess I didn't realize how much work and standing around with the cold wind  whipping at my ears and head would affect me. By Sunday I was down in bed with a sinus headache that felt like the pressure was going to put me in the hospital. The heating pad and half a bottle of Pseudoephed. tablets finally brought me back to life on Monday.  
There were a couple of bright spots to cheer me through my ordeal however. I was very lucky to have won the second Heaven's to Betsy wool give-away on Cheri's Back to Larkrise blog last week. The package came and I was able to open it Sunday evening and behold the gorgeous wool!  Thank-you Cheri and Betsy!  This is some gorgeous wool and I can't wait to use it very soon I hope!
Not having children unless you count the two Fur Boys Smokey and Max...... Mother's Day is usually spent celebrating my Mother and Mother-in-Law.  This year the festivities were carried on without my presence.  When Dave returned from his mother's on Sunday evening there was little package for me from my great-niece Kaitlyn who is 7 years old.  A precious little hand made card and a hand-made pot holder.  A bright spot indeed and so wonderful to be remembered!
Yesterday was finally what you could call a warm Spring day here in Wisconsin.  Looking around my yard and herb gardens I see the weeds haven't forgotten me.  They are healthier than ever and are waiting their turn for some attention.  Probably not the kind of attention they would desire but knowing what greedy little things they become if left to their own devises the  garden spade shall be introduced to them in short order!
