55 years ago today, Mom went into labor and at 10:01 am on a sunny Sunday, I was born. Age is just a number and while I do not feel 55 years old (heck, I do not even feel like 40), Arthur (arthritis) is beginning to makes his presence known daily in my hands. As a cross stitcher, sewer and gardener, this spells trouble and alot of Advil.
Today, the weather front has come through and we are currently at a chilly 39 degrees and very cloudy. The forecast is even mentioning SNOW. NO MORE SNOW. I want to work in my garden! For my birthday, my brother and his wife gave me 2 gift certificates to local garden centers. I have found that buying a small garden centers, the plants are so much healthier and survive transplanting. Too bad I can not even go today to look. Bummer. So instead, I may just have to go to a couple of cross stitch stores to check out the new stuff and maybe place an order or 2 for some new designs that I have seen at The Needlework Show (http://needleworkshow.com/index.html).
Hope you enjoy your day. I know I will. Have a piece of cake (it's chocolate with buttercream frosting).
