The Days of May

Oh My Goodness!

What a week I have had.

I am sorry I am just now posting. . 

The modem for my internet went out

So I have been without the internet.

Can I just say it is a boring life without

the internet. . Oh, I have been busy, but

I constantly wanted to look something up, or

catch up on Facebook, check my blog, and

do some visiting with my favorite blogs and finding

new blogs.  I have really missed everyone in Blog-land

And then I was dealing with some sad things in my

extended family.  You know it is hard when people who

have always been in your life grow old and either die, or

have terrible things happen to them, like strokes.

A very dear Aunt suffered a stroke this past week, and I

am so sad.  She is my Dad's youngest sister and the only

one living of my Dad's 8 siblings.  I have been very

close to my Aunt Madeline, and it saddens me to watch her

grow old and have so many health problems.

I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will bless her,

and if it is time for her to complete her journey on this earth

she will pass to the next phase of our existence.  For I know

that death does not end our life.  We continue to live.

I love the month of

MAY

I sometimes wish it would always be May

all year long.  

But I know that isn't the way it is. . .

I do like the four seasons.

Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.

It is just that I like some months better than others.

I have a full 12 month set of these cute little embroidery months.

I did them several years ago.  I change them out each month.

 I am afraid I am not going to be able to do Counted Cross Stitch

for much longer.  My eyesight is not as good as it use to be.

I may have to get magnifying glasses so I can see to do the stitches..

I really enjoy embroidering. 

The rain has let up for a couple of days, so while I was without

internet I worked in my tiny yard.

I will show you pictures later.

One reason I like May so much is that I can work in my yard

planting, and fussing around and it isn't too hard.

The mornings are delightful, and even afternoons are not that hot.

I want to get everything planted and looking nice,

I hope you are having a lovely May.

Please do check back soon.
