Ten Little Celebrations – April 2025
/April was a busy month….lots of little celebrations to choose from. My top ten are included in this post.
Lots of 300-piece puzzles. I found 23 300-piece puzzles at the used book sale and while I was sorting new donations. I’ll take a few of them each month when I go to Dallas to visit my dad so this will be a prolonged celebration.
Buying and planted spicebush. I celebrated finding spicebush at a native plant sale and bought two of them for my daughter’s yard. We got them planted the day after I bought them.
Another garden room. I savored my daughter’s garden room while ‘house sitting’ while she was at work and arborists were working in her yard.
Cherry cobbler. Cherry cobbler was one of my dad’s favorite desserts…and I celebrated that memory while realizing that it is one of mine too!
Hosta garden. I celebrated that the clumps of hostas in my flower beds were robust enough to divide and create a hosta garden between a pine tree and my patio that is too shady for other plants to grow well.
Clean windows. There was burst of spring cleaning at my house that involved windows! I haven’t done all of them yet but am celebrating the clear views from the ones that are clean.
Onondaga Cave. This is my favorite cave in Missouri (so far). I celebrated the day trip for the destination and that I did it with my daughter.
Tea Bar lunch. My daughter and I had one off-campus lunch after my geology class….to a place we had been to before. It was even better than our first lunch almost a year ago!
Edible violets. I celebrated learning that violets are edible. It is great to have native salad greens from my yard!
Car repair. I had an undercarriage cover that cracked near the front of my car. After thinking it was an easy fix (but it wasn’t) and the dealership ordering the wrong part, I celebrated finally getting it fixed.
