Yesterday, because I have time to listen and watch... I observed... I made coffee and when I poured it I spilled some on the counter and a "smile face" appeared. Then myy husband and I watched, for the first time, a squirrel build a nest in the next door neighbor's tree for 1/2 hours.. amazing. My husband also worked in his garage off and on in the heat.. and believe, me, that is an awesome thing for him. He got two phone calls from friends; I talked to one friend. I talked to two sisters and text another. Saw two cardinals that reminded me of Mike's mom and dad, Vergie and Charley Seabaugh. Saw two robins, that reminded me of my mom and dad, Anna Mae and Allen Rigdon. Saw hummingbirds in our Rose of Sharon Bush that reminded me of Grandma and Grandpa, heard cicadas and tree frogs singing at night, and said "Goodnight Moon" although I don't think I saw one, but pretended I did... "Can it get any better than this, I ask? Can it get any better than this?"
