A lovely time of year

It's such a lovely time of year, remind me of this in the dead of winter. Yesterday afternoon I went for a walk on Main Street and saw 4 different wedding parties. The brides wore lovely, summery, Cinderella-like white dresses. I remember one white dress had a pale yellow sash at the waist, a nice touch. Her bridesmaids wore purple, plum-coloured dresses. Another bride and groom trotted by in a white, horse drawn carriage with white horses, no less. People were out in their antique, summer cars or their convertibles.

I'm trying to find a small novel that is somewhere in the house and has been put away too carefully. It's maddening. Also the kitchen sink has sprung a leak, so we're investigating, prior to calling for help. L and I are going out for a short walk to get some coke frosters, something to look forward to on a gorgeous, sunny day. I'm wearing shorts as I wished I had done yesterday.

M and K went to play some tennis. They saw the new Star Wars movie last night and loved it, as M is a big fan.

Christine it may be a lovely time of year for you BUT it is cold and wet in Sydney, Australia!
I am very envious.

Hey if you want to find that novel call on Saint Anthony the Patron Saint of Lost Things.
It works for me.

"St. Anthony, St. Anthony
Please come down
Something (my novel)is lost
And can't be found"

Jammie, of course I meant Star Trek, thanks for catching that!

Peggy, I said the prayer! Let's think of the good of winter...no grass mowing, weeds, bug bites.

Christine said...

Peggy, I don't know if you were kidding about that prayer or not, but I seriously just found the novel in an unlikely place and not even seriously looking for it!

No I wasn't kidding Christine as it works for me 90% of the time.
You focus on something else (St Anthony) and your subconscious that remembers everything can then relax and find the said object.

So pleased it worked for you.
