The snow continues to fall and Laney and I are anticipating a warm up. The weather man has predicted a high in the 50's by the weekend. Hoping that this is the last of the snow, as we grow restless to get outside and plant some flowers.
This day is a reminder of past years in which the air temperature was warm and the day was sunny. My memories are so vivid of this date on the calendar, as it is a day of celebration. Twenty nine years ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. It was a sunny day and of course a perfect spring day to celebrate life. I have many wonderful memories of this date over the years. Many birthdays were celebrated with the sounds of children laughing and watching them run around the backyard playing.
Today the children's laughter is a wonderful memory, as it is replaced with laughter of a confident, beautiful woman.. Happy Birthday to my daughter. You have filled my life with joy and made me laugh through all the challenges in life. You have been an inspiration and a miracle from God. Even though there is snow on the ground and the sky is filled with clouds, my mind is filled with sunshine and my heart is filled with love for you. Have a wonderful day !!!
Life is beautiful because of loving you !!

Music and Love
God graced us with an interesting weekend in more than one way. Saturday was a beautiful day with sunshine and a blue sky with no clouds. The warmth of the sun made it feel warmer than the actual temperature. My husband and I were able to get out and walk. Laney joined us on our walk, she strutted up and down the sidewalk as if she owned it. She seemed happy to be out and about. Little did she know it was only a tease of spring weather. In less than 24 hours winter had returned.
Yes, winter is back for a brief stay. I guess you could say an encore performance, and what an encore it is. We awoke Sunday to find our sunny sky departed and the wind blowing, as snow was falling all around us. I am hoping this is the last of old man winter. He dumped about four inches of snow on us and there is a predicted one to two inches more to fall today. Laney has had fun running in the snow. She does not stay outside long, because she gets icy and cold. After her morning run in the yard, she looked like she had grown a beard from the wet snow that froze to her face. She has reclined now to the couch for her usual morning nap.
My love notes to my husband paid off, as he surprised me with tickets to the Philharmonic Orchestra and Rita Coolidge. The classical music which I love was a serenade to a beautiful day. Rita engaged the audience as she sang one of my all time favorites, "The Amazing Grace." She also filled the concert hall with songs of love that could only leave you feeling like you had fallen in love all over again. I was reminded again of why I fell in love with my husband. Thank you my dear for a lovely evening.
Music for me is like therapy that soothes my soul, makes me happy, and inspires me to be creative. I sign off today, as Laney and I listen to Andrea Bocelli, Adele, The Best of Bach, and one of my husband's favorites, Van Morrison. A home filled with music is a home filled with love.
Life is beautiful !!!
