Paperwhites blooming on Pastor Janet's lot next door.
... and up the road a ways!
From our Meteorologist:
"If you had 'Everything but Locusts' on your Alabama Weather Bingo Card ...
come claim your prize!"
I was sooo glad to return to ladies Bible study Monday morning! It's all about the camaraderie. Altho' this new study has me feeling underwhelmed, I'm remembering how I felt about the last one in which I participated -- how I wished I wouldn't have to sit through the remaining 7 sessions. (Note to self: Be careful what you put out in the Universe!)
Tuesday brought another visit to the VA. But good news! It looks like Tom's eligible for a new set of hearing aids ... yeay!
Then UAB. (*sigh*)
Come to find out, as soon as Tom's infusion therapy 'stuff' concludes, we're to go back for more tests. His cardiologist wants to perform something called an atrial ablation.
At least we gave ourselves a consolation prize -- in the form of a visit to the Cheesecake Factory. I probably shouldn't say this out-loud, but perhaps, my biggest pleasure in life right now is good food.
... and their herb-crusted salmon is some of the best!
I'd been saving my 'cheat' day for something remarkable.
The Cinnabon Swirl fit the bill!
I hadn't counted on the sugar consumption (first since June 1) messing with my stomach ... but it was totally worth it!
So ya,yesterday was Epiphany. In a normal year, our tree would be boxed, the decorations put away.
I'm just not feeling it.
Even my beloved Mrs. Murphy's 'acorn spice' (handsoap). It may not lend itself to the season, but I was sad to see it's no longer available. Rather than a girly floral scent, I settled for something called 'oat blossom.' The forrest greens, the browns, the persimmons are staying!

Given my Word-of-the-Year, when I first wake up I've taken to asking myself, "What can I feel enthusiastic about today?" I really, truly had my heart set on a Springtime excursion to Florida.
Better I practice patience; set my sights on something closer to home. Like the FB quote I saw this morning:
"Sometimes God slows you down so that the evil ahead of you will pass before you get there. Your delay could mean your protection."
Or, He's got something better in mind.
Color me Looking for a Good Time,
