The day was busy enough, as it was, so a quiet start sure helped. A birthday lunch with church friends at Chick-fil-A with the least one, then as soon as we got back home from that, it was time to take middle daughter and youngest son, along with another friend to the church for pizza and 'Lord of the Rings'. Movie night for the teenagers. Good fun for my three youngest, who've needed a distraction with all that's been going on with my mom. And after that took fourth son with me to get the altar flowers. Hot pink, pink and white this time. The altar cloths are green so thought the pinks would look pretty. In my world, it's always an excellent color choice.
Now after a cup of tea, am resting in bed. Looking forward to some gardening time tomorrow. The day will be warm-ish again, and I have some pansies to put in the ground. Might have to work around the showers that are expected. Oldest daughter and fourth son gathered some bags of pine straw from a neighbor's house earlier this evening. Have been watching out for folks raking up the straw, and hit paydirt today. Don't know of anyone here who uses it for mulch, and most just leave it at the curb. And as well, most people have the leaves raked and blown out of the flower beds this time of year, leaving the bushes and plants most vulnerable. Doesn't make sense to me. It's going to be really cold come December.
With church, a visit to my mom and gardening, Sunday will be full, but a good full. Take care.
