Good Friday Morning to ALL;

Seems as we are to be getting a bit of a warm~up; (and it is coming none too fast for this girl here either)!

Was out the other day, and on a dare from DeeAnne... (kinda) I had to bring the dog out... to her kennel; barefoot.

No problem. Just keep in mind it was a wee bit colder that day... (but still ABOVE zero too).

.

.

I had to locate a bit of snow for a "test" of sorts... not a problem...

.

.

First you just kick that one little snowbank...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

...and then you make a 'mad dash' out to the kennel...

.

.

.

.

.

.

...and back... quickly stopping to take a picture...

(sorry about the shadows, but they really were the last thing on my mind at that moment)!

.

.

.

.

And so, you see- There is always something to do to 'wake' yourself up somehow!

I still can't get back to the woods... Kinda upset about that, and going through a bit of 'withdrawal' over it too. And so the only exercise I am getting is to run around the yard... (barefoot)? hehehe No. Only that once... (to date)!

And (still) from my blog about parenting comes many more comments and letters. (An impressive 1121 "hits" as of this morning)... I am made more than secure that everyone is so very passionate about their definitions of right/wrong; and will seemingly fight to make sure that others respect those same convictions, even if they do not agree.

"Up! Up! With children!" ....Speaking too, (of my own children), two of them have finally gotten online to comment also. As always, these kids warm my heart; (most especially with their love of my own mother in my last blog about Mamas birthday).

CaseyFace begins her Spring Break today... and will be heading up north for a bit of R & R time. She is always so busy, and this will be good for her spirit. And to all that go other places for their Spring Breaks, and partake of those spirits, please stay safe. (My sister Mary went to Florida for Spring Break one year... and didn't come home for a year and a half)! I think she stayed down there to work... and to get one heck of a great tan too! hehehe

I have a bunch of errands to run today... and so should keep this short and get my backside in the shower already!

I hope you all have great weekends planned... (with the advent of warmth and a bit of sunshine, You will find me out in the garage trying to organize my rummage sale so it is ready for when the weather REALLY warms up)!

Have a grand Friday! ...And do never be afraid to make that "mad dash" !!!

XOXO

Woke with this song on my mind...

Theme from Mahogany

~

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

Now looking back at all we've had
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?
