easy-- like sunday mornin'

oof.  We're back - hale and hearty.  Evidently we had a round of stomach flu (or "the flus" as Maddie calls it) lined up for us.  What fun!  Personally, I was just glad that I had sparklified my bathroom the day before it was my turn (as no one wants to face an even slightly icky bathroom when they're retching)...
:)  Now aren't you glad you visited?

Life turned up sweet today.
Easy, breezy.... First thing this morning I headed outside and just stood around gazing and listening - soaking up the still and the quiet except for the birds' greetings.  I guess that set the tone for the day.

We tended to the children's bedrooms.  Tip top, now.

We piddled outside...

We visited the gardens to see what had happened while we weren't looking.

inside...

 sigh.  Not so long ago I was reading these beloved stories to him.

and throughout.

This is Maddie's little friend.

All is well here.

Family Day tomorrow - who knows what that means!  :)

See you then.
