Sunday around here.....


Hi and happy Sunday to you. Feel like I been "missing in action" a little this week....its been an exceptionally busy week, and this coming week promises to be more of the same. So I am really looking forward to a total day of downtime today, to catch up, take a deep breath, take Mr. Teddy for a long walk and maybe even catch up on some reading.

How about you? Is the weather finally thawing out over there? As the weather seems to be getting milder, there are small signs of spring sure enough blooming around here, small signs but signs! I have finally started venturing outside again after what seems like an endless winter, took a few pics along the way of what's going on........

I started planting my planters inside when the spring bug bit, even if I couldn't get outside, I was determined to feel a little spring inside......






Hard to believe just two weeks ago we had this.......


Then the thaw finally came and Mr. Teddy reclaimed his perch outside.........


So I went for a long walk on our property and only then was I struck by the degree of devastation from Sandy, I lost count of how many trees had been lost, and whose very old trunks had to be cut down into firelogs.....I think we have enough firewood to furnish a small country, it was unbelievable! This is only a fraction.......



Everywhere I walked, there was another neatly stacked collection of wood, a bittersweet reminder of Sandy's destruction.....




 Teddy missed his walks!

 Teddy next to a huge uprooted tree, this gives you some perspective on the size of some of these lost trees!

And though we are a long ways away from things looking green and spring-y, slowly that pale straw color is giving way to more green.....

 Not sure if I showed you my new lantern (from Arte De Mexico) we had one made just to be sure we love it, and we do!

 The breakfast room side.....






 The first blooms......very exciting!


 And finally for the first time, I sat here in the loggia with a book....it was so wonderful and peaceful, my new favorite spot, that I think I am going to be spending a lot of time in!  I ordered new furniture due here in a few weeks.....





So that's a little peek into whats happening on the outside over here. Lots more to come, but it was so wonderful to finally get outside, breath in that fresh air, get a glimpse of a budding flower or two and take Teddy on his beloved walks that I know he has missed. Slowly we all come out of hibernation and I know the best is yet to come. Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing Sunday!
