The Sun is Shining

It's amazing how much better I feel when the sun is shining. It is a beautiful day today, and I have three new redbud trees this afternoon. I am miffed because they showed up without an appointment, and this was not a good day for it, but it's done now, so I'll get over that. 

Adding trees will be a long, slow process, but I'm going to do it gradually over the next few years until I get the back yard like I want it to be. Eventually, I'd love to have some nice landscaping out there, too, but we'll have to see about that. It's tough to keep things watered here, so I have to take that into consideration.

But I can dream.

Got to have lunch with two dear friends today. I wish we could find the time to get together more often because it is such fun. We can talk for hours and used to do that when I was a scrapbooking consultant and they came and cropped for six hours at a time. I miss that, but not the rest of being a consultant. 

I gave my dog a big rawhide stick today and now he's decided it's time to bury it so he's out there looking for the perfect spot. His tail is wagging and he's so happy with his mission. It's gross when he digs them up and starts chewing on them all covered in black dirt, though. Still, he is a dog and that's his chosen way of doing things. 

And my week is looking up even though I am probably going to have to replace the catalytic converter in my car, but I figured out a way to get it to the shop without having to sit there all day. It will mean getting up and out very early in the morning, but I'm going to ask my husband to go in a little late tomorrow after he picks me up and brings me back to the house once I've dropped off my car. That should work, and it's much better than sitting there all day long.

Everything is better when the sun shines!
