Ramblings on a Sunday

Posted on Dec. 31, 2006 at 12:16 PM

Today is the last day of 2006. That is almost unbelievable. It truly does seem that time goes faster the older I become.

We all stayed home from church today. My sweet husband, who had a cold but had so far escaped the nasty sickness we all had, appears to just now be coming down with it. I thought, I had hoped he would be spared or that his cold had been a shorter less nasty version of our sickness. 4 more days and we will have had sickness in the house for a whole month!!! I am still congested, still coughing and so are some of my girls. Please keep praying for us. Also, that we do not catch anything else that is going around … that is a scary thought!

It looks like a beautiful bright day outside. I really need to go out back and take a little walk. I have felt so confined these last few weeks. I am actually beginning to long for Spring which is odd for me as I love Fall and Winter. My poor garden is rather sad looking with frost damage so I know that is part of the reason for my longing. Also, my roses in the backyard went into cooler weather unpruned, most topped out at about 5-6 feet tall. They are monsters when not kept in check. I have a very large overgrown ficus out front that desperately needs pruning too. We are hoping to build some long raised beds and plant a large vegetable garden this year. I am really looking forward to that. My used to be best gardening spot has become rather shady since our lemon tree has gotten so large. I miss homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers. I did not get to do much gardening last year and hope I feel well enough this year to make up for it!

We are having chili for dinner tonight. The beans are already cooked (we start with dry beans), we need to add everything else and let it cook on low (in the crockpot) for a couple hours. I am so glad dinner is planned and fairly easy to do.

I should get back to my family. Have a wonderful blessed last day of 2006!
