yummy sunday
 

Our first farmers market trip of the season!

Yummy, fresh and organic food; so glad strawberries are finally in season!

The best mother's day evah!

:)

Today, right now, just looking at my wife sleeping...she brings me joy.

Hanging like a bat in my cave.

Joy!

My joy today....
 

What brought me joy today...


pennies snagged from an older sibling by a sneaky younger one while i smiled and said nothing....but made her return later...still unnoticed....



handpainted swirls that were supposed to be flowers...



cupping sweet sticky faces in my hands and returning those gooey kisses...





squirrels!!!!!




a text telling me that today was mine....no matter what anyone else thought..

My son's grown up Happy Mother's Day wish and knowing that he was so overly sweet as a little guy that he has stockpiled extra points and can fuss over me less now that he's older. lol.

My surprise call from my ex girlfriend's daughter just before midnight. And hearing she misses me as much as I miss her and she is still wanting me to make the long trip to visit her this summer. She will always call me mom and be my daughter.

And my third Mothers Day wish from someone pretty special topping off an otherwise pretty empty day.

Joy is realizing that you can't be everything to everybody, but to the certain few you are their everything and that is enough for me.

The curry plants I thought I lost this past winter finally from the stump.

Feeling renewed after a wonderful birthday and mothers day weekend with a special friend and my family.

Feeling like I can do anything.

The wonderful weather that is once again spring-like! i so love the breeze and the gentle sun, no humidity and a perfect 65F! :cheer:

Knowing, and believing i am loved. It feels good. Really. :stillheart:

Drifting off to sleep with the smell of Hym all around me, Hys bracelet on my wrist, proclaiming what is Hys. :stillheart:

Waking up with a smile on my face. :stillheart:

:listening:

2 things...

My boi calling me {hy's alive, w00t!}:drool:

My phosphorus actually came out Low, so my dietitian said I can have random pickles or phosphorus rich foods..
Sooo...
Artichoke & spinach Dip beware !!!!!!:chef:

Listening to my sons (12 and 7) singing "A hard days night" in their room not knowing I was listening. Another generation of Beatles Fans. <3

Finding a place where my son actually can be himself. I took him to Chucky Cheese for the first time today. That place is just as hyper active as he is, so... hes ok there. He bounced from this game to that game, shooting bad guys, racing cars, throwing balls, earning tickets... and every time his pocket was out of coins he would come find me for more and back he went... for THREE hours... its amazing. Was so nice to see him happy and unrestricted for once.

F O U RRRRRrrrrrrrrrrRRRR!!!! :golf: schwinggggg! Can I get a woot woot!!!! Rock on shad!!! We always got yer back! So proud of you!!!!!!

Getting my Harry Lauder in the ground. Poor baby has been waiting ever so patiently and I have been waiting to hear where he wanted to be. We finally had a minute of quiet to work it out! YAY!

Just woke up, still waiting...

Btw, what's a Harry Lauder?

oops.. it's a contorted filbert.. otherwise known as Harry Lauders Walking stick.. a slow growing old gnarly tree that for whatever reason I am terribly drawn to. I had one that I had hauled around for about 18 years until I finally moved back "home" and it was just too big ( and happy) to move. My wife had been looking for a replacement for it and we found a sweet one recently, that I was finally able to get planted. I hope he is as happy as we are!

Hope your waking gives you much joy!

My Anniversary!

Congrats!!! :flowers:

home..ish
 

Getting home after a long dysFUNctional weekend. Love for my family still in tact. :seeingstars::bunchflowers:
Finding out that honey is a fine tuned climbing machine getting ready to ascend where she belongs in the heavens with the other angels. :moonstars:
Peak performance as usual :superman: :drool:

Finn brought me joy today. Like hy does everyday...so effortlessly. (Smiles)

I finally got a job!!!! Worked for the first time today since last July. Not exactly the job I am used to, but work is work. I am tired, sore and happy as hell!!! Of course Bob is pissed that I wasn't with him all day, but....rofl!!

At this moment...
 

...my dog (sweet little rat terrier) moving from his normal location at the foot of the bed to right next to my face as those scary storms rolled through late last night. When I realized what was happening, I raised the covers and he went right under them to curl up in my legs. Sweet...
