Finding Time...it's a miracle!

Did you know that the sun comes up really early in the summer. Honestly, if you leave your blinds open, the sun will work better than an alarm.

Think of the time one has available when you get up with the sun. There is time to clean and visit with a baby and cook and even work on a crossword puzzle.

AND it is not even noon yet. There is more time. There is even a slot open for blogging and working on a children's book. WOW, who knew how much time there was is in the day when rising with the sun.

I may even give it a try...one day at a time...smile!

When or where do you find time?

    I am an early early early bird - have been for years. Love it. after I've worked a few hours I sit outside and watch later birds come to my feeders. My problem is - I can't sit on the couch eg to watch a video with my husband after 7pm - he complains about the snoring.

    There's still only 24 hrs in a day. To me, it's a matter of using the time at hand. I do my best work and thinking in the morning when I'm fresh. I'm learning to pace myself. Sometimes that means having a rest then getting at that last task in the evening now that the daylight hours are longer. Spring brings a long list of things to do after a long winter of putting more wood on the fire and reading.

    I love Spring and Summer as those are the times I wake up with the sun. It comes up about 6am now and I am ups with it. I get my best and most creative work done in the morning. All my blogging occurs during those hours along with most of my photo portfolio work. By the time noon comes around I am ready for all the less cerebral stuff like mowing, gardening, and working on my homemade RV. My micro-RV as I call it is kinda like a "boat in the basement" project in that I spend much more time working on it than I actually do using it. But that's ok as that is what gives me joy and joy is my top priority now.

    I love waking up naturally with the light. One of the best pleasures of retirement!

    I think it must depend where in the world you live. The sun here in North Yorkshire is rising at 4.30am with first light an hour before. We have invested in blackout blinds!

Five Little Ducks...stories played out!

The children's song about the little ducks leaving the nest to fly away has always been one of my favorites.  Every mother has seen their babies fly away and rejoiced. Life comes full circle. Animals live that same cycle. Babies grow up. Birds leave the nest. Life goes on. So when the three ducks show up every year near my patio I am not surprised. But I am puzzled that it always seems to be the same three. Something just doesn't seem right. It appears the one did not fly away at all. Five little ducks Went out to play Over the hills and far away. The mommy duck went "quack, quack quack," Four little ducks came swimming back... And then Three Two and One. A drake, a female duck (a hen) and a not quite a drake but still not a hen gather here on the 5th green of the golf course. She leads and the other two follow along obediently. They eat, sleep, and guard each other. Each and every day this time of year they come.  I have not named them. Jinxing them would be very pos...

How to be a 12 Month Snow Bird

Vacation Rental in Mexico I live around snowbirds 6 months of the year. I have heard those people say that they all want to live the "snowbird" lifestyle when they go home. But it just is not possible. They are isolated and cold. Social activities with friends and beautiful weather are greatly missed when they return to the realities of their "real" life. One couple I visited with lately returned to Florida this morning where they own a home. The woman is a nurse and works in the summer. They are not going home until May this year. It is too cold in Michigan in the spring so they are hoping to extend their good weather season by simply staying away. Besides that they love their Florida lifestyle a lot. Last week I visited with a woman that lives the snowbird lifestyle year around. No going home to the Midwest in the spring. They essentially vacation 12 month out of the year. And I thought their solution for avoiding unpleasant weather and keeping their lifestyle in...

If You Build It, They Will Come...Maybe!

It all began with a antique window in front of a local shop. It had been painted yellow, the glass was loose and all of the hinges and latches were gone. My old friend Betty would have approved...she would tell me it was just broken enough and damaged enough for me to drag it home. When my dear husband saw it, he wondered what he was meant to do with it. Imagine his surprise when he was presented with the plan to build a small neighborhood library exchange. It wasn't the first time he had heard me ask "How hard could it be?" Now it is six weeks later and we mounted the darling little library exchange on two posts in our front yard. I love it. Now the question is, will they come or has the time passed when people actually read something made of paper? Our association president stopped by and admired the box but left after telling me that he only read books on his Kindle. We will see. Would you bring a book and take a book? b+
