The weather in Arizona is so lovely this time of year, I would surely invite you to sit on our patio and enjoy your glass of wine with me {Ok, ok, I'll have some iced tea on hand just in case...}. We would sit under the red umbrella, shaded from the afternoon sun, and we would chat in real life about what's going on right now.
♥ Speaking of my mom, I would tell you how excited she would be, knowing that Carrie and I are going to have the opportunity to meet with a few of the members of Team Teal while we are traveling. These ladies who blessed her with cards and letters and trinkets while she was ill - they became such a special part of our lives, and she'd want me to give each of them an extra hug, just for her. I would tell you how very much I miss my mom!
♥ Of course we would talk about the new pet at our house. I'd tell you that I've never really owned a dog, so there’s a learning curve for me. A work friend who is cat-crazy and reads my blog {hi Wayne} commented to me that I’ve gone to the “dark side” and even went so far to refer to me as “dog lady.” {Ouch.} I still have visions of one day being an old cat-lady with a few too many cats, but maybe I have crossed over a bit. We are really loving this little dog we’ve taken in.
♥ And the conversation about our pets would continue as I tell you that, for the first time in my life I am the proud owner of a variety of animals. Ok, it’s not totally crazy – it’s just a cat and a dog and two turtles, but still. It’s a variety. Now, if we could only add a few chickens and a goat, my idea of the perfect zoo would be complete. {Now you're probably thinking that sipping wine in my backyard with a goat might not be the best scenario for an afternoon drink...}
♥ Spring is springing around our house and flowers are starting to bloom! You would love sitting in our backyard this time of year. I would point out the rose bushes that Doug planted last month - there's new growth on them! I can't wait to have several different varieties to choose from for bouquets to bring indoors. There are sunflower plants sprouting in the backyard too, and I have plans for some tomato plants to go in the ground this weekend. Oh, and that little dog of ours? He really enjoys pulling up drip-lines in our flowerbeds. ~sigh~
So, that’s what I’d tell you during the first glass of wine. If we went for a second glass I’d probably throw in some bits about my latest squabble with Carrie, or details of a recent doctor’s appointment, but I digress.
Maybe instead of a second glass of wine we should just take a walk.
