From my "upstairs room" (really a space overlooking an atrium) I can look out and see the sky and a view including the city of Kennewick on the southern side of the river and Pasco on the north side. And yes--if I'm in just the right spot I can see the river as well! The view is even better from the roof of the house. I know this from having helped with roofing of the house a few years ago. That was a fun and interesting project--but I don't plan on doing it ever again. It's a good activity for younger folks!
At any rate, there is a pinkish tinge this evening with clouds spread over the sky. We are often treated to beautiful sunrises and sunsets here. A blessing!
Spring is rushing forward. Forsythia are bright yellow, the neighbor's almond tree is in full bloom, the willows are showing their delightful spring green immersion, and color is around every corner. WOW. God spreads a glorious palette for us this time of year and I savor every sight and aroma.
In the midst of so much renewal and life, a friend of my husband passed away in his sleep yesterday morning. I found myself humming Harry Chapin's song "All My Life's a Circle" several times over the past day. Isn't music just amazing?
Feeling very blessed. My husband took the time to go to one of his least favorite shopping locations (the mall) to pick out a turtle charm for my bracelet. (I did so enjoy the sea turtles in Hawaii). Isn't that just sweet? And then he treated me to sweet potato tots with dinner. Since he can't stand sweet potatoes himself, this is especially touching.
Some days are very, very good.
And I am especially grateful this evening that
life goes on.
