A Sick & Tired Birthday

 

I've been under the weather,

with soar throat and congestion,

but much better now :)

Just before getting sick I spent

three days rototilling 

this patch of yard,

putting in bark and planting

grass seed. 

It's under my clothesline

and I truly wanted 

grass and not dirt.  

While I was sick I also celebrated

another birthday . . .

One sweet friend dropped off this 

tea on my doorstep . . .

I've got such sweet friends :)

Then because I was feeling sad,

sick and lonely 

on my birthday I decided to 

buy myself a gift.

Good old Amazon!

It works wonderfully.

I made myself the perfect

soft boiled eggs.

It even played a little 

tune when they were done :)

Of course I wasn't alone,

I had my faithful friend

always by my side.

Then birthday gifts

and cards started 

showing up on my

doorstep . . .

I love this little framed 

cross stitch

made by a very dear friend.

And this sweet pillow 

for my bedroom.

A lovely reminder of how

awesome a God we serve.

Now look at this amazing

wall hanging quilt.

This sweet friend is a perfectionist

and she is always worrying about 

every little stitch in her work,

and I am always telling her

that perfection steals 

the joy of creating.

Her quilts (and everything she 

makes) are amazing.

This is such a personal gift

and made will so much love 💕 

 

Another friend made me these.

One is her homemade zucchini relish

and the other is a homemade elderberry

couch syrup. 

Now, how caring is that.

I'll tell you I am blessed with 

truly amazing friends.

Well, if you are still 

reading  . . . thanks 

for sticking it out.

I know it was a long post.

God bless you all

and have a lovely week.
