~Savoring Moments~

Written by Sue, Wednesday,April 2,2014                        Sunny, temps. high 80's absolutely beautiful
March went by so fast for me, and I am glad it seemed to pass so quickly, now I know spring has finally arrived. I was so busy with the garden that I didn't take the time to take many photos,  we did a lot of preparing of  the gardens for planting, but the highlight of March was a visit from our son, his son and his fiancee'. That's where I have been this past week, enjoying and savoring moments with them. The father and son don't live near each other nor near us so it was a special treat for all.
I loved seeing the pair of them enjoy this special time together.
I think they covered every inch of the farm, ~smile~

 There is always something unusual to see around the farm, this Navy Blimp just meandered by the other day.
 While here our son was shopping for a special take home gift for his wife,(she wasn't able to come because of her job) I went along to help as much as I could, when he had chosen the necklace I went outside the jewelers to wait while he checked out, he called me back to the counter and showed me this ring.
He- "Mother how do you like this ring?
Me- "Very pretty, it looks antique ."
He- Would you wear it?"
Me- Thinking he was getting this as an added gift for his wife I said "Yes I would."
He- "it's yours, try it on."
It fit perfectly, This was such a nice surprise, I wore it all afternoon admiring it many times, and making sure it was seen by others. ~smile~ This token of his love will be a memory that I will always treasure.

~Please excuse the well worn hands~
Family left yesterday and are now safely home, I am adjusting today as the house is once again quiet, and have been trying to catch up on blogging. Tomorrow I will be planting herbs in the garden, and still savoring moments.
I am joining Cheryl's  "A Gathering of Moments", though a little late. Thank you for hosting Cheryl.

Happy April everyone
Sue

You have beautiful hands. I was thinking that before I read what you had written of your own hands. Hands of a queen. I love that your son bought you such a beautiful ring. How nice to have your son and grandson visit.
I am sure it gave you such special memories to reflect on in your now quiet house. You are very blessed Sue.
I love this post. So glad for your chicks too.

Oh that ring is beautiful and such a treasure for you. What a thoughtful son.

I have a heart ring that my father made for me when I was in the 5th grade and I still wear it.

We have a small flower garden no room for a veg garden, we down sized for our old age. We miss having pets so any thing that comes in the yard The Bennie will feed it and talk to it. It just happens to be a rabbit now.

What a wonderful sweet gift and cherished time with your family. When I was little, both my mom's and my dad's extended families lived nearby. In our generation everyone became so mobile and we seldom see them. We love and treasure the times we have together.

As you return to farm chores tomorrow, the sweet memories of time spent together will linger.

I love the whole thing about the ring! I don't know about your neck of the woods, but around here, we would say, "That boy was raised right!"
