It's so quiet.... the dogs, cat, and guys are asleep.... all is silent.... the clock just chimed but now I hear it ticking.... The bridge is being worked on so the road is closed.... no traffic noise.... a vehicle drives by the house but the main road is not being used.... no trucks, no traffic.... the dog sighs, the furnace kicks on and off.... a distant train whistle... such a quiet night.
Earlier we watched a movie that my daughter worked on called Gone Are The Days. It was a western, set in the early 1920's. The story was about an old outlaw and his last days. How he made things right.... in his way. It wasn't action packed... I had some questions about it when it was done.... It wasn't unbelievable. It could have happened. I liked it....
My son is working on some drywall around the house. And when he's done I'm looking forward to watching some paint dry. See, a couple years after my daughter's graduation from college I made her bedroom into a sewing room. Then my husband said I needed a bigger room so we switched his home office with my "sewing room". And now I wanted a spare bedroom again so we moved the office stuff downstairs and are remaking a bedroom. My husband is amazing!
I have been sewing again. I'm finding my smile again. My arms don't feel weighted down. I made cookies the other day. I have some things on my to do list that I'm still struggling to get done.... maybe in the morning I can tackle some thank you notes. Lots of folks were very supportive over the last few months. That meant so much to me. I miss my mom. Talking to her. I think of her every day and often during each day.....
I pray that tomorrow the sun will shine and that the temps will be warm and it will be a beautiful day to walk. Yesterday, was gorgeous and the trail was packed with women pushing strollers, dog walkers, and some bicyclists. Funny but as we walked the trail through the park I thought, I should have brought my camera in case we see a woodpecker. And not 5 minutes later my husband says, "look a pileated woodpecker". And we watched it pecking and hammering some downed tree branches. The camera on my phone isn't great but my husband got some video of it on his phone.... it was cool. Hahaha....
Guess I'll just keep plugging along, one day at a time, making the best of things, and remind myself to be thankful for it all.
