Open your eyes.
Close your narrow views.
Open your ears.
Close your inner negative thoughts.
Open your mind.
Close your ignorance.
Open your heart.
Close your hate.
Open your arms.
Close them in a hug.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

thanks PJ! This week is really warming up again and the sun is shining. The grass is the most beautiful fresh shade of green and signs of life are popping up all over the place. It even smells different! Fresh and Springy!

It’s suppose to be 74 degrees here today. My handyman is coming Friday to clean up my yard and take the cover off of my air conditioner so I can use the fan until the time the water can be hooked up to it. (We have swamp coolers here in the southwest). I’m looking forward to having my yard cleaned up but I’m not looking forward to summer watering!
