Hoping that this last day of March brings some much needed rain to the Carolinas, with the cold front that is expected.
I can only dream about a tree like this, but then again, what kind of willow has purple flowers? They don't even look like wisteria flowers!
Quince has been blooming for about a week!
If this bee was so accommodating, I also am grateful for the photographer on the ground capturing a sunset.
Feeling grateful for having survived the pneumonia, and now a week of hiding from smoke of wildfires, and extremely grateful for the little rain that helped a lot, and maybe more is coming today!
I'm going to have the apartment inspected for my housekeeping today...a twice yearly thing as we have out of town owners...and they have verry strict rules to follow. I'm really grateful for the cleaner who worked me into her schedule, though she seems to be pulled this way and that by her 2 young boys (11 and 13 years). It's been wonderful having a clean house...and I keep telling myself that I can keep it this way all the time!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe photos are lovely. I love seeing the spring blooms. Some AI images look too fake.
It is nice to have help with the house cleaning. Take care, have a happy day and a great week ahead!
Some of my friends think I'm pretty well off to have a house-cleaner. But actually, I've not gone out for lunch (usually a $20 total with tip) for several weeks...so that can easily be shifted to the cleaner's cost.
DeleteBarb, you deserve a cleaner. We all do.
DeleteLovely photos, thank you. Can you get regular housecleaning? I have a monthly visit which keeps my show on the road.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, monthly. I could certainly do with the assistance.
Delete...stay clear of the smoke if you can.
ReplyDeleteSo far just coughing my normal evening amount. Thanks for reminding me to wear a mask when the inspection guys come through. (I'm a bit miffed that they'll have wet feet on my nice clean kitchen floor!)
DeleteHow nice to.have a clean house! With 3 dogs and 2 cats it's just not possible for us.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I wem]nt outside and saw the notice saying inspection is poostponed for a week!
DeleteHi Barbara, Glad to hear that you've recovered from the pneumonia...my better half has had it twice and it's tougher as we get older. We love spring and with all the rain this weekend, everything is blooming! We have a housecleaner...made more affordable by spending less on other things as we get older. Good ones are hard to find... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteA friend always said to "Fix your little problems before they become big problems." Although he was referring to handyman chores, it can apply to housekeeping too.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a cleaner, as I hate all those chores. Thankfully my new flat is much easier to manage than my old house.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone likes cleaning.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine having to deal with smoke just after pnuemonia. Please take care. I hope the fires abate soon.
ReplyDeleteI am so tempted to hire someone to deep clean my kitchen for me. . . I am not a cleaner, but I do like a clean kitchen.
I never heard of inspection for houskeeping. Glad you have someone to help you out.
