What a beautiful week! The weather has been amazingly warm. I'm about to start some plantings in the garden. I wish I had planted lettuce 3 weeks ago, We'd be enjoying some early spinach about now. Daffodils are coming up and crocuses have already started blooming.
Maybe this weekend I'll go down to the bay and take pictures again. Mom, at several times, asked to go to the beach last year. I'm not sure how to go about that. I suppose the boardwalk might be the only option, sand would definitely be out of the question. The back yard is bad enough! We're gonna have to save up to pave a path out to the garden so she can bring her "horsey" out and help. What a look I gave her when she first called the walker her horsey! There's a man at daycare who challenges her to "horse races" with their walkers. I'm sure that exercise helps with her physical therapy too.
She comes home from daycare so bubbly at times. Not long ago I walked by the auditorium when the daycare was hanging out waiting for the bus. I started in the door to say hi to her and stopped short and just watched. She had her wheel chair pulled up to another daycare-er listening intently. He sighed and she reached over, patted his hand and started telling telling him that he will be alright and generally encouraged him and said a prayer. I started remember all of the people mom used to go out of her way to help. Occasionally her bleeding heart would get her into trouble and I didn't appreciate when she would drag us to countless bible studies but I stand back now and smile.
As a side note, I'm still working on finding a family lawyer. Everything is finished up with the estate lawyer and I have official guardianship now.
Off to the seed store!
Melinda has always had a "missionary" heart--speaking to people about God and praying for them. She was never hesitant. :) She was always checking with me as a teenager if I was right with God...looking back...glad she did. :)
