Hi and happy Sunday to you. Feel like I been “missing in action” a little this week….its been an exceptionally busy week, and this coming week promises to be more of the same. So I am really looking forward to a total day of downtime today, to catch up, take a deep breath, take Mr. Teddy for a long walk and maybe even catch up on some reading.<\/p>\n

How about you<\/i>? Is the weather finally thawing out over there? As the weather seems to be getting milder, there are small signs of spring sure enough blooming around here, small<\/i> signs but signs! I have finally started venturing outside again after what seems like an endless winter, took a few pics along the way of what’s going on……..<\/p>\n

I started planting my planters inside when the spring bug bit, even if I couldn’t get outside, I was determined to feel a little spring inside……<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Hard to believe just two weeks ago we had this……. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Then the thaw finally came and Mr. Teddy reclaimed his perch outside……… <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So I went for a long walk on our property and only then was I struck by the degree of devastation from Sandy, I lost count of how many trees had been lost, and whose very old trunks had to be cut down into firelogs…..I think we have enough firewood to furnish a small country, it was unbelievable! This is only a fraction……. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Everywhere I walked, there was another neatly stacked collection of wood, a bittersweet reminder of Sandy’s destruction….. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Teddy missed his walks!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Teddy next to a huge uprooted tree, this gives you some perspective on the size of some of these lost trees!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And though we are a long ways away from things looking green and spring-y, slowly that pale straw color is giving way to more green….. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Not sure if I showed you my new lantern (from Arte De Mexico) we had one made just to be sure we love it, and we do!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 The breakfast room side…..<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 The first blooms……very exciting!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 And finally for the first time, I sat here in the loggia with a book….it was so wonderful and peaceful, my new favorite spot, that I think I am going to be spending a lot of time in!  I ordered new furniture due here in a few weeks…..<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So that’s a little peek into whats happening on the outside over here. Lots more to come, but it was so wonderful to finally get outside, breath in that fresh air, get a glimpse of a budding flower or two and take Teddy on his beloved walks that I know he has missed. Slowly we all come out of hibernation and I know the best is yet to come. Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing Sunday!<\/p>\n
