Latest edition to the pond – I love the new fish pot the hubs picked up for me, a week ago.

And I love his new home across the way…

And I love how the doves stand by – allowing me to take their pictures. I think they are getting ready to nest.

And I love the January roses.

I’ve watched this rose (for days) as the petals continue to open and open and… I don’t have the nerve to cut and bring inside.

Things of accomplishment:

• I finished painting the office over the weekend!
• We spent a lot of time working in the garden – change is coming!
• I’m almost to the end of my book. That’s a huge accomplishment plowing thru 1,024 pages this month. But it’s a good read and I’m about to finish it up today…I hope.

And before I forget, yesterday, I wrote with pen (at the Dr’s office) the year 2014 for the first time this year. And as I wrote the date, I said aloud “2014” as if it were a news flash. And a gal gave me a silly look as if to say “duh”.

Wishing a blessed day and week to you…

Blessings – Debbie
