Today I have been inspired. I'm not sure what inspired me exactly. Was it the peaceful sounds of my two girls playing nicely together all day without the slightest quarrel? Or was it the rest I was able to take after 3 consecutive fun filled weeks of girls camp, family reunions, and awesome company? It's not because my house is clean because believe me I think there are some places on my kitchen floor that if stepped on just right might prove to be stronger than super glue. Hmm, I need to get a new mop. Mine broke. Anyway, I have reflected on how blessed I really am. I am surrounded by really great family. With my own family growing I marvel at the cute little things that my children are constantly saying and doing. I'm impatient to hold this little one growing within me and dream every night what he/she might look like. It's been so long since I have held a little one that I am a little worried if I will even remember how to change a diaper! haha I am sure it will all come back.
So I sit here dreaming about all of the things that I would like to do in life. Things like learning new recipes and becoming a better cook. Maybe even making a weekly menu. I did that once and it worked out really well. It was nice not to think about what to make for dinner while eating breakfast. Hmm. I would also like do a little more decorating. You know, like make a few curtains or bedspreads. Maybe even take a few black and white photos for the wall. I can picture what I want in my head but putting it together is a little more difficult for me. I also dream of a backyard oasis. Somewhere that I can sit on the grass or a cozy bench in the shade and read a book while listening to the birds chirp and the leaves rustles as the wind gently blows through them. Somewhere that is green and colorful. Where every inch of the yard is landscaped to perfection. Okay, I know that is a little out there but I can dream right? For now though I will settle for the rectangle patch of grass and tiny fruit trees, the patches of dirt that will someday be filled with beautiful flowers and shrubs, and the recently built back steps as my chair. As for the house and the decorating I will be working on deciding which color to paint the baby's room. Light green or baby blue?

I just have to say that reading this has been like a peaceful oasis in my day. It really gave me a lift to read. I'm still dreaming of my backyard oasis, but it is slowly coming. I do have a nice rose garden and when the woodshop is built, we can hide a lot of the ugly tools and things inside. You got me thinking. Maybe the woodshop needs to have a flowerbox under the front window?? What do you think?
Light green... thats my vote cause green is calming. I look at at your blog every few days and look at your ticker. I cant believe how close you are to holding your new precious baby! Good luck with the oasis. My back yard is looking very nice after all this rain... but I would love flowers and stuff too instead of just grass. But I do love my back yard its nice to have a place to be.
LIGHT GREEN! It goes with any other color. Brown, pink, purple, blue, etc. Besides the fact that my kids bedrooms are green.
