Welcoming the sun

I'm always happy to know my baby's feet are on the ground. She loves to travel and has like-minded friends so she is often away making memories. Last night she arrived back from Cuba, stopped by the mouse-house on her way from the air-port to put my mind at ease. I'm a mom...what can I say?

They had a terrific time and took in the Rolling Stones concert on the beach. She said it was amazing. Can you just image how fantastic that must have been. She said there were over 400,000 people there. The retired-guy grinned and said "You are living MY bucket list."

She knows I love honey and brought me back some cuban coffee along with this interesting jar of Cuban honey. Oh boy...can't wait to try this in tea.

The sun is shining and lighting up the mouse-house. How we welcome it after a long, dark winter. We have already had bunnies at the feeders and the birds are arriving slowly. I'm watching to see if Simon's friend comes by to call on him. He is up and out and ready for company. I gave him a little bit of organic peanut butter this morning on an apple slice. He grabbed his treat and took it down into his hidey-hole. I imagine it sitting on his little kitchen table all ready to be enjoyed at dinner time. lol
Hopefully, he'll have a guest.

Annie has taken up the ritual of having just a teeny bit of milk first thing each morning as our Sierra always did. It's sweet to see but heart-wrenching at the same time. How I miss our Cee Cee. But Annie, being Annie, is always happy to help where she can. ;-)

I have a beautiful begonia to brighten up my table from the grands and the crowned chick will stay in the step-back a while longer. So, I guess that part of Easter isn't over yet. Someone has to eat his coach-load of chocolate. :)




"Come and get your chocolate."
