Prepare for Holidays

It feels like spring, and yet we know winter will return here in a few days. But I go outside and clean up when I can to prepare for a wonderful summer garden. Inside, I am working and cleaning and freshening up. It never stops. This is just what I do. Prepping for kiddo to come home on spring break and enjoy time with him. Making blueberry muffins a la Stephen Colbert and Evie McGee Colbert’s cookbook-wonderful recipe! Cake planning for hubby for his birthday (Spring baby!)

I am at peace today for a little while in my bubble of happiness. I am letting the world swirl outside my thoughts. Find your own sense of peace for one day. Love to all tonight.
