Six Angels for Six Granddaughters

Hello everyone, 

Welcome back to My Cozy Corner. I hope you enjoyed

My Love Story for Valentine's Day. HERE

My husband and I had a quiet evening at home delighting 

ourselves on Lobster tail and salad.  We also watched the

Westminster Dog Show. The dogs are so beautiful, and

some are funny too. 

The rain stopped for a couple of days, and I worked out

in the garden raking leaves, pruning rose bushes and

grape vines. You can see by the photo above I 

have some daffodils starting to bloom and the rose bushes

trimmed. The irises will bloom in March.  I bought another

angel at Tuesday Morning a couple of weeks ago.

Now I have SIX ANGELS FOR SIX GRANDDAUGHTERS.

I started working at Tuesday Morning in July of 2011. I was 70 years old,

and I had been retired since 2007.  I was hired for inventory in June

of 2011, I took a trip to England and Scotland and when I returned 

I went right to work. The next spring (2012) the garden statues 

started to arrive at the store. I bought my first angel for my garden.

I was hooked.  The next spring, (2013) I found another one.

A pattern was developing. Now I had two angels.

In April of 2013, I retired from Tuesday Morning. I was (72) and
I wanted to travel, garden and update our home. The angel below
is the first angel I bought. 

I returned every spring to find another angel (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 )

Some are very light to move around 

and SOME ARE VERY HEAVY.

Now I'm 75 and going to be 76 in June. And the garden clean-up
is harder for me to do myself.  I've hired a gardener to help me
with the clean-up and digging some holes for transplanting
bulbs and bushes. I don't want to give up the benefits of
working outside, but I would like to save this old body
for traveling, photography, and table setting for my
blog. I hope I can keep gardening for many years to
come. Hopefully next week all the daffodils will be
in full bloom, and the yard will be completely clean
and ready for the February Journal photo shoot.

My granddaughters will be able to have an Angel 

in their yard one day...

I am looking forward to more sunny weather soon.

I want to play outside in my potting shed and have

tea time on the patio and under the pergola.

Thank you so much for visiting today.

Please come back soon.

Joyously,

Betty
