Hmm

The lilacs are budding.  It does seem to be too early.  A wild and crazy winter will do wild and crazy with perennials.

We went up to the local grocer’s for some non-essentials.  Who doesn’t need a root beer float once in awhile.  We tooled around the town to see if there were any drastic changes.  The CCS bank has been bought by Madelia Health systems and they are now open to take patients.  Hmm. Quite the challenge with Mayo having been front and center.

Tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s Day.  Oh the days when our home was busy making valentine boxes decorated for all the valentine’s the kids would get and share that next day.  The shear innocent excitement . . . precious.  I believe in all of us there is a part of that innocent child that remains.  With my whole being, I nurture that child within me.  That child guides me through times when the world seems harsh and uncaring.  I find myself indulging that child just enough so it won’t leave me.

Happy Valentine’s day to all my special peeps . . . you know who you are.

With that I take my leave.  ♥
