Simply... 'March'.

Got a little Snow... this morning.

; )

<3

It's BEAUTIFUL!!!

<3

'Simply... Iowa'.

; )

March came 'In'... 

like a lamb.

It's Goin' 'Out'...

like a 

Lion.

; )

That's the way 'March' usually works, in Iowa.

; )

<3

Many... are complaining about it.

; )

Think those that are from Iowa... complaining, about a little Snow, in March...

in 'Iowa', must have very short memories of 'Iowa'... and What She's Capable Of...

in 

March!!!

: )

We've had Such a Mild... February, and March... thus far.

oh....my.

; )

We've been Very Blessed, tho... it's been a little Freaky.

70 degree days in March... in Iowa, is... a bit worrisome.

'This'...

is 

More Like It!!!

: )

We Need Moisture!!!

<3

Worked at The May 2024 Estate Sale, yesterday.

; )

Oh.... dear.

; )

Holy Smokes!!!

Worked in the Kitchen... and on The Toy Room.

: )

Oh... My!!

; )

Reminded... Lee, the Estate's Daughter in Law... and Friend, who was helping yesterday...

" Remember... my Dear, I can only 'take' these 'tasks' on... 

about 4-5 hours, at a time. : ) After about 4 hours, well...

'The Mad Hatter'... Comes Out!!! 

and...

That's Never Good."

; )

Lee... Totally... Understood.

<3

I... have to 'Pace' myself... while setting an Estate.

; )

Really Appreciate her Help!!!

<3

but...

I kinda get into a 'Zone'... and, probably am a bit frustrating to work with, especially... to those who've never been down this kinda 'Path'.

; )

My 'mind'... works in a rather 'nonconforming' way.

: ) : ) : ) 

{oh... dear. : ) }

It never makes 'sense'... to most, until it's done.

I can 'see' a room... completely flipped around, and 'set'... in my head...

 Five different ways...

before we touch anything.

{can't tell ya what I ate for breakfast... but, I can 'see'... the end game... before the ball is pitched. Guess... that's my 'Gift'!! <3 }

Hahahahahaha!!!

It's Puzzling... and, often... 'Frustrating' to those who try to 'help'.

<3

God Bless 'em!!

Lee... keeps asking me...

"Where's 'This'...gonna go??? Where's... 'That'... gonna go????"

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

: )

All I can tell Lee, is...

"No Worries. Don't know, yet... but, No Worries."

<3

Explained to Lee... that I know... she's concerned about this 'mountain'.

; )

but...

'No Worries'.

<3

Lee, hasn't dealt with a mountain like this, before.

She... probably, never will... again.

We have.

Many...Many...Many... times.

but, that doesn't let her mind rest.

: )

I... totally Get That.

; )

{ask John, and Lawyer Meardon. 

oh.... dear. 

Building a House... 

 Battling IDOT, and Fairfax. 

I... tend to 'micro-manage'... way too much.

 : ( 

It's 'Lives'... We're All Dealing With. 

'Protecting'.

: )

'Trust'... is everything, in the end.

<3

but...

 we must,

Trust...

 The 'Hand's' that are 'Sent'.}

; ) 

Walked through a few 'memories'... again, today.

: )

2012... to 2015.

oh my.

<3

That Old... Gnarly, Paint Pail... is Waiting for Flowers, this Spring.

<3

It's resting atop an Old Cupboard, in the breezeway.

: )

Remember the day... I pulled it from a scrap pile.

: )

'Beauty'... 

Is... 

Truly In The Eye of The Beholder.

; )

{I personally... see the 'Beauty', 

in the 

Old Pail, far more... than The Beautiful Roses, always have.}

; ) 

{thinkin' about it, now... The Beautiful... Rose's are long gone, but...

that Old... Paint Pail, : ) It's Right Here!! <3 : ) }

Still.

A Very Wise Man...

long... ago,

once told me... 

"It's All About 'The Journey'."

; )

Truer word's were never spoken.

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

{Watched a bit of the 1960's Mississippi 'Happenings' on PBS, this Iowa... 'Snow Day'... 

made me think of the movies... 'The Color Purple', and...'Mississippi Burning'.

John, and I... watched 'Mississippi Burning' a Dozen Times.

Both Movies... are Worth Watching, These Days.

Sadly... in my opinion...

so many parallels.
