The art of making coffee

Hello you all! :)

.....

I haven't been around the bloggerland for a while; busy, busy.

I have started volunteering at the local animal shelter on weekends.

The same shelter where we adopted Gracie and Lucy.

And I will soon become a foster mother for a dog or puppy in need.

I wish I could adopt them all and give them a loving forever home.

.....

We packed up our automatic coffee/espresso maker and 

reverted to making coffee the old fashioned way.

And we love it.

So much more flavor.

.....

Meanwhile I am waiting for Spring.

I need sunshine,

smell the flowers,

warm temps,

open windows,

bike rides,

and, and, and.

.....

I will stop by your blogs soon to see what you have been up to.

.....

Have a great start of the new week.

.....

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn
