The first moment of spring arrives tonight at 11:06pm. It's terribly cold outside and we woke up to a little bit of snow falling. Last week's 70 degrees was just a teaser, I guess. Tonight we will be sitting in the bitterness while watching Matthew's first home game of the season.
And with springtime comes a very busy time. Only a few months left of school, my daughter will be having extra rehearsal time for her June show and my son's baseball season is in full swing (pun intended). I admire those who live a more relaxed life but that is not us. Maybe someday. I wanted my kids to be active as they grew up but then I wonder if we've put too much on them. I certainly don't want lazy kids but maybe they are too active for what it really should be. Today my husband will go from work, to the game, to the school board meeting, without a break in between. It's a lot but someday I know we'll be empty nesters sitting in a quiet, empty home and reflecting back on those busier days and feeling pretty thankful we made our way through them.
On Saturday I took Bri to a local farm that allows people to come visit the baby animals, for a small fee. She loves pigs so when I heard there were going to be 5-day old piglets I couldn't resist. She got to hold pigs, goats, puppies and a tiny guinea pig. There were also chicks and ducks and a calf. The place became way too crowded and the poor animals seemed stressed and overwhelmed. I could not help but feel so sad for them. All for public entertainment and profit for the farm.
I will say, this first picture is my absolute favorite. This piglet fell asleep in her arms. They all seemed at ease with her.
Those pictures are certainly worth keeping/framing. Know she must have been beside herself hugging all of them.
ReplyDeleteI've had cysts all my adult life and worth keeping an eye on them. All of them were aspirated with an ultrasound guidance, a couple biopsied with no bad results. Most hospitals are doing the 3-D imaging now to get a closer look at suspect areas. So, fingers crossed and be sure to abide by their recommendations follow-ups.
Yeah, Spring is here, but Winter has not been informed just yet. Enjoy what lies ahead for your lovely family.

Yikes! I hit enter too soon! I meant the photos with the animals. She certainly does love them! And, yes to what Mary above said. I am sorry you had a call back. Like you said, they like to have something to compare it to. I too have and always had cysts. I was on 6 month scanning for awhile, then a year. This past time I was rescanned because of cysyts, and am going back for a six month check in a couple weeks. Hugs, my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteA lot of us in the same boat. Thank you for modern technology for sure.
DeleteGlad your mammogram was nothing to worry about. They seem to want to do more and more scans these days. Makes for a lot of anxious waiting. I know what you mean about March's spring being a teaser. I took the flannel sheets off the bed just in time for winter to return. Brr, it is chilly this weekend. Not sure I could sit outside - kudos to you for doing so!! Have a good weekend!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Just checking in. Hope all is well, my friend. : )
