I'm loving Spring and an update on Dad ♥

Today is a beautiful Spring day.  I have all my windows and sliding doors open.  The sun is shining and there is a warm breeze going right through the house.  It's blissful. I don't think I've every appreciated Spring so much as I do now.  

Here are some things I love about Spring: ♥

*line drying laundry - smells so good! 

*open windows - I love the fresh air so much despite my allergies

*bunnies in the yard - they are the cutest and I want to hug them

*planning for summer - hopes and dreams

*switching to lighter clothes and springy pajamas - YESSSS 

*blooming flowers everywhere - a natural mood booster

*planting an herb garden - make me excited to cook 

*evenings getting a bit longer - I somehow don't feel as tired 

I certainly miss the coziness of winter but I'm learning to live in the moment and appreciate where I am. I think I'm OK if Spring stays around for a little while : ) 

Today I'm grateful for days like this.  I'm also grateful for really GOOD coffee which feeds my soul like you wouldn't believe.  And most of all I'm grateful my Dad is home!!  It would take me too long to tell you about his rehab experience - which wasn't the best to say the least.  On Sunday we went against the rules (rebels that we are!) and left the rehab without proper discharge.  Walked right out the door.  He couldn't take it any longer and that's all I needed to hear.  Sometimes the best medicine is your own bed.  On Monday he saw his own doctor and got his staples removed.  Yesterday he started physical therapy here at the house.  He's up and walking now and doing better and better every day.  Today I took him to the ear doctor to pick up new hearing aids.  After the appointment we went out to lunch. He was craving a big juicy cheeseburger (still mooing) and who and I to deny him that?  We are home now.  He's icing and elevating his leg per doctor's orders.  Things are progressing as they should and that's such a relief. He's got one more follow up appointment with his primary care doctor tomorrow.  After that he's good for a while.  And so am I : )

We were joking over lunch how one LONG week ago he was in the hospital and now here we are out to lunch.  Thank God!  Not bad for an 85 year old. Not bad at all! 

Have a lovely day friends! I am wishing you a beautiful spring day wherever you are.

We are halfway to Friday! ♥
