Tonight's picture was taken on April 12 of 2002, 13 years ago today. On my dad's birthday. Mattie and my Dad both had April birthdays. In 2002, right after Mattie was born, I remained in the hospital for about five or so days afterward. So literally we came back home just in time for my Dad's birthday. This was a peaceful moment that we captured Mattie to take a photo, but with Mattie the key was movement and fresh air right from the beginning to keep him happy. I remember many days and nights walking outside in our commons area. It was where Mattie was happiest.
Quote of the day: Spring is the time of plans and projects. ~ Leo Tolstoy
I wasn't sure what to focus upon first today. The massive amounts of email that has piled up, issues related to the Foundation's Walk, or the transition that we need to make into Spring. Which involved clothes and everything in our home. It was a tough winter and it shows on our deck and in our flower pots and bays. It will take me weeks to clean up this mess. But I started the process. As you can see our daffodils are all a bloom by Mattie's memorial garden in our commons space.
Last year, someone gave me a hyacinth plant. I love hyacinths and instead of tossing it out after it died, Peter planted the bulbs for me! It came back this spring!
Our row of daffodils! In between computer work and other projects, I also took on cleaning our big living room picture windows which were a total mess. But once you start one project, it seems like more seems to just pile on.
