Breezy day

Today is breezy, cooler and drier. It only sprinkled a little. I actually got clothes to dry on the line! The house is open, the air is fresh for a change. It is quiet, except for the ever-present noise of the traffic. A good day for reading and for thinking. I almost tackled rearranging the living room, but decided nothing will move right until I get rid of this 55 gallon fish tank. So I did some reading. And some thinking and daydreaming. Daydreaming is good, didn't you know? Well, I spoke too soon. It's sprinkling.

Just another day....

But I do remember my dad, and my past hubby, the father of my girls, and honor them. Happy Father's Day!

Brighter Future

Yesterday I posted a link to some sad history. Today I have a link to a tourism website that is promoting Kosovo's brighter future. They have some good info, and nice pictures in the Gallery. You can find them on facebook, too.

Be In Kosovo

Important History

I have a dear friend in Europe, in Kosovo to be exact. Spelled Kosova to the locals. I have learned a lot about this new country. Many people may not know or remember much of what happened. My friend watched the NATO bombing of the Serb bases around the capital city, Pristina, spelled Prishtina and Prishtinë by the locals. My friend told me, it was a dirty war. The Serbs were killing civilians. It's true, and documented. I cry when I watch this series of videos published by the New York Times. Please take the time to watch it, and remember, just like we must always remember the Holocaust.

Next post will be something happier.

Crazy spring

Cold...Hot...Cold...Hot...Cold. Had the furnace on, then the A/C, then A/C off and closed house, pile on blankets to sleep.....not turning furnace back on!!! Between the heat and the cold we had wild storms, flash KABOOM all night long, lots of rain and threat of floods for people near the rivers. Today is sunny, at least. I planted 3 tomato plants this spring. That's it. I have some perennial flowers blooming but I didn't buy annuals....yet. Maybe I should. Or at least more perennials.

A BEAUTIFUL Day at last!!!

Finally gorgeous weather! Fresh air, sunshine >>no rain<< YAY not humid, shall I go on?  They finally installed spring! After we bumped into summer and stumbled back into winter "forEVER".
