Word of the Year 2024: Value

 

[Holiday_Mom]

As you enter spring, we will be entering autumn, Katrina. It's still warm and humid enough that it feels like summer. But, I am seeing leavings falling here and there from our apple trees. We had a windy afternoon the other day and the oak leaves began falling too. Some of our pumpkins are starting to turn orange.

This week starts the HHP cleaning plan. I will focus on that with the idea of trying to get the monthly deep clean done when possible.

• Exercise
• Prayer

I can just imagine the view out of your window.
