A Few Flowers

It is imperative that my world include flowers. I planted a few seeds in a lonely garden a few weeks ago, but it will be weeks before any flowers appear. I couldn't wait that long. So I picked up a few packs of annuals at one of the local garden stores. My parents always went to Welch's and so, even though I don't live in Webster, I carry on the tradition.

It's been a busy week. The Cabinet Maker has been out of town on a job in the Finger Lakes, so it's been just me and Joe. Between work and a couple other activities, I stayed busy the entire time. I took three evening walks this week, two with my sister and one with a friend, and had three grandchildren for the day (along with a fourth this morning). My other sister stopped to visit this afternoon and the house just got quiet again for the first time all day. The Man should be home in an hour.

Tomorrow I will tackle the house again. It needs a good rustling every now and again. Perhaps I'll shine the upstairs bathroom and chase the cobwebs out of the hallway corners. And, if I still have some energy left, I just might find a little more empty space in Grandma's room. After that I'll feel like I deserve a trip to that fancy little ice cream shop up the road. There is nothing quite like a soft serve twist after a good day of work. Shoot! There's nothing quite like a soft serve twist after doing nothing all day.
