Sunshine...☼ ☼ ☼

FACT: The other day our local weatherman shared this info with us. It has been 6 months since Oregon has had two 70 degree days in a row until today. ☼ ☼ That's sad... no wonder I'm about crazy. Saturday the sun came out but it was kind of chilly and windy. Yesterday the warmth felt so so so good and was wonderful @ 70 degrees. Today were getting to 77 degrees. I feel like a drug addict that is longing for the sun and it's ray's. It's been so long and such a hard winter, it felt so good I couldn't get enough yesterday. I got so much done yesterday after spending some of the day outside. We came home and I started in doing the "normal" cleaning stuff. Floors, toilets, laundry, dishes and so on...Anyway, 2 rolls of paper towels, 2 swiffers, & 10 poundings of the feather duster, one can of glass cleaner later= all the windows in my house are clean! I took down all the dusty curtains and washed them too. I was covered in spider webs. Blah

Today we are heading to Eugene to get some kind of tool Derrel needs for D and S Greenhouses and I'm just going along for the ride. I told him I don't have any plans today on our trip to the valley except Costco and a walk. I don't even care if I go shopping...I just want to go for a walk some where, some park, any where. So yesterday we worked...today we play in the sunshine! 75 degrees and I'm so excited! Life has sure changed for the better. You would of never heard me say "gotta go for a walk, fun, excited, park, in the same sentence two plus years ago. And I shared that slide show with you all from last Saturday. That lighthouse is 20 minutes from my house and has been open for 4 years or so and I have NEVER been there before. Why you ask???...FAT kept me away. The hills, the climb, the stairs. And while we were there we bought a yearly parking pass for the hikes and state parks around Oregon. We have already been on 2 hikes since Jan. and each visit is $5-10 bucks per car and we know were doing more so we bought the yearly hiking pass. Hell yes! No more "we can't do that" anymore. Were now going and were going to try that! Gosh it feels great. I feel so excited most days. I know I'm silly but inside I'm bursting with excitement sometimes. I can't even put it into words. I'm telling you "it's the little thing's" I'm so thankful for these days. I played a good Ol game of HORSE in basketball with Jon last Saturday to. First time ever, sad but true. That was worth smiling and was fun playing with my son. We will do that again together. I know he enjoyed it!

Anyway, I've got a shower to take and some sunshine to find! I'm outta here!
