SUN SPOTS...

The last two weekends
 were blessed with sunshine,
 however, 
what came in between 
was less than desirable. 

 On Sunday
 we took advantage
 of the beautiful day and
 embarked on another
 country drive.

We had our share 
of snow this winter and 
it was beautiful,
 but maybe because I grew up
 in a northern California beach town,
 it tends to follow 
the old adage, 
out of sight,
 out of mind...

...so when we were about
 ten miles out of town, 
we were actually surprised 
to see snow still on the ground and
 as we drove further 
into higher country...

There was,
 in fact, 
lots of snow still.

The remainder 
of the week was
 cloudy and rainy...

 ...with only
 one little spot of sunlight 
to brighten things up.

Excuse me, Big Brother,
 but you are blocking
 my sun spot!

And with that, a trip to
 Trader Joe's
 was in order.

A pitcher of 
alstromeria, ranunculus, and daffodils 
added a needed sun spot
 on the kitchen table...

...and a trip 
out to the garden,
 in between rain showers,
 offered another 
small bit of cheer.

A bundle of 
golden daffodils
 brightened the kitchen counter
 right up...

...while a pot of
 homemade tomato soup 
was bubbling
 on the stove.

Like the sentiment 
on this sweet, vintage 
pillow states...

...we will be happy 
by and by.
