whimsical wednesday

it's whimsical wednesday! it's also march 29th. and because it's march 29th, we are exploring this date. google march 29th to find out what march 29th is all about. google march 29th of the year you were born. what happened in history that caught your attention? is there a particular memory that occurred on march 29th that you like to recall? perhaps you know someone who has a special event on march 29th you can help them celebrate, if only a happy hello on facebook or a text. however it suits you, indulge in march 29th.

one fact about march 29th i learned is this day is the 88th day of the year. my first thought upon learning this is that a piano has 88 keys! now i am stuck on the 88 theme of march 29th. i shall do something with that number for whimsical wednesday! it will probably take all day...

whimsical wednesday

whimsical wednesday at the whimsey project! we are celebrating the coming of spring! do something that brings spring to life for you: take a walk, sit on the porch, put out nesting materials for the birds, prepare the birdbath for the season, plan a new garden space. whatever the weather permits and whatever you wish to undertake, enjoy spring!

it's too cold outside for me today, even though i hoped to be outside (perhaps later in the day). for my spring activity, then, i made a new garden space plan. it will be in the meadow, centered around a spinney of small trees. the plan is to make it a home for birds and small animals like bunnies!

miscellaneous monday

miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project! our day to share stuff we don't see the rest of the week. tell us your miscellaneous!

i had the pleasure of visiting with a friend today. we have not seen each other in years. she drove three hours to be with me. we had breakfast at the local cracker barrel. we sat inside for a few hours, having breakfast, drinking coffee and tea while talking. then we moved outside to the rockers on the porch and chattered away for another few hours! it's wonderful to see someone you care about but distance and circumstances keeps you apart. it's wonderful to be able to pick up together like you saw each other last week.

get ready.....

get ready for whimsical wednesday! it's spring! we'll be going outside if weather permits! take a walk, tidy the porch, clean off the winter from the lawn/porch furniture, plant seeds, plan a new garden spot, look for signs of new life. start planning to enjoy whatever you wish to celebrate the coming of spring.

over the weekend of was far away from home, in my usual routine, visiting my mom. she's more than half way through her 91st year and had quite the medical emergency. the laptop traveled with me, however, there was no time to employ it. thus, no silly saturday or solitude sunday. mom was much better than i expected her to be after her episode. it was such a relief.  my sister and brother-in-law live near her and they took care of her throughout three trips to the ER and a week in a hospital out of town. they made it possible for me to come when i could by taking care of our mom.  i am home again but will be back to tennessee soon.

get ready.....

spring is evident even with a dusting of snow covering the earth. we'll be counting spring flowers and trees in bloom for whimsical wednesday! be prepared to open those eyes of yours and observe the splendor!
