Sitting In The Sun

~ ~ ~

It's been so nice, weather wise, in my woods.

Actually sat out back without a sweater.

That's a first for this year.

Means that Spring is finally here.

Of course it has to be in the sun

cause those clouds remind

of the colder days

that are just beyond the woods.

Remembering, the chill.

Add in a bit of wind

and the sweater is always

close by.

 

This week was relaxing.

Sitting in the sun.

Watching the girls,

Maddy Jean and Jodie Belle,

playing in their woods.

It's a big yard with their toys

and woods surrounding the fence

with a few trees down the hill.

Lots of fun for two girls.

 

Me, I sit on the deck.

Usually, with Meredith Ann.

If it's the right temp out.

She doesn't like it wet or too hot.

No, she's not spoiled. lol

 

Just when things were looking and feeling great,

I woke to a terrible sharp pain in my back.

Have it again today.

In the back of my mind,

I am thinking that it is kidney related.

On the left side, just too weird, really.

So, there you go.

I just can't seem to hide from this.

If it keeps up, I'll go see someone.

I'm thinking that if it's a stone,

maybe it will pass.

Wouldn't that be nice.

 

So, this not being able to run and hide stuff,

I got a bit crabby this morning

when I stubbed my toe

cause the dogs were in my way.

I yelled at them to get out of my way.

I started to cry.

Haven't done that the whole time.

Didn't let this kidney failure thing get to me.

Only it did .. today.

Cause all of this may not have worked.

Which means .. another surgery.

Take it out or put in another stent.

Like I said, I cried.

 

So, there you go.

Nice and not so nice.

I'll take the nice.

 

Enjoy your day.

I plan on it.

 

I'll let you know what happens.

Don't I always.

This Time Of Year

 

This time of year can just get to you.
A bit of sunshine thrills the air.
Everything seems new.
You breath it in and it smells good.
Sit in it and it warms your soul.
A cloud stops by and you look mean at it.
It just took your best new friend, warmth.
I smiled today.
I sat in the sun.
I sat for a while in the clouds.
In I went.
Now, the dullness of what was light
is just plain mean and terrible.
I want that sunshine and bright smell back.
Enough of this cold stuff.
No more ice shows.
I like waking to the birds telling their stories.
I don't mind a drip drop on the window
but enough is enough of it.
I want Spring to actually be here.
Just the right temperature.
Not too cold .. tired of that.
Not too hot .. don't want to get the fans out of the attic.
I want that purrfect day.
And, I mean iced tea with no sweater
and flip flops.
Yes, I want to wear them.
They are on the shelf .. waiting for me to call their names.
That's what I want.
I get this instead.
Even the dogs are sad.
Seriously, sad dogs over here.
Do I really have to make some hot tea ?
