Your spring is way ahead of ours and we are not seeing much yet, but the shoots of leaves from the daffodils and the tulips are now above ground and will soon bud. Actually the daffodils on the sheltered sunny side of the house do have buds already. You are right it will happen no matter where we are. I had to leave the home I loved when my husband passed away and that was almost 18 years ago now. <br>The house I'm in now will never have the love I had for the other place yet Spring comes here as well as it did there. I'm just so thankful winter is over that I could care less where I was at this point. Your casserole sounds wonderful and I'm saving it for the next time I have leftover ham chicken or turkey as I do want to make it. I hope your Wednesday was a good one!I'm mostly known as 'MA'http://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-62548819578416972372010-03-24T16:37:06.753+00:002010-03-24T16:37:06.753+00:00It sounds lovely!

I ...We are on the same wave length...awww, Spring! I like what you said about it being a state of mind. In many ways it really is. The idea of a new beginning, new growth, a rediscovery of the beauties of the earth can be found almost anywhere.<br><br>We will truly miss our cottage too if and when we move. It will not be until the economy is strong again. Jim turned in his retirement letter yesterday so our lives will be changing too. Last day 6/30. Not public knowledge over here yet but it soon will be.<br><br>Go forward in faith..Chester will unfold some wonderful life experiences for you~no doubt!Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14059667593315041564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-62872027815519158002010-03-24T11:39:47.363+00:002010-03-24T11:39:47.363+00:00Oh, how beautiful!

Here it has been chilly & foggy this week, no flowers yet! I know it will be hard for you to leave lovely Kent. But hope you are excited about all the new and familiar in Chester. Can't wait to see the flora there! Love the new addition to your banner--well done. Home is in the mind, in the heart. :o) Wonderful casserole today! Good luck getting that freezer cleared out--I'm sure Todd's not minding! ;o) LOL! Thinking of you extra much these days, dear friend... LOVE YOU HEAPS!!

It is quite exciting really to wonder what will come up in a new garden in the next few months..I know that it will never ever replace the affection for your beautiful surroundings but it will be, like life...different...<br>Much Love Sybil xxSybilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02516012178494813281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-43624301117717042222010-03-24T05:31:57.871+00:002010-03-24T05:31:57.871+00:00I am thinking of you as you pack and make ready to...I am thinking of you as you pack and make ready to move one.

My pansies nod and smile at me as they sway in the breeze.<br>I hope that your new home in Chester will have spring blooms waiting for you....or...if not I am sure that you will plant some to enjoy.<br>My love and thoughts are with you. I am sorry for all of the overwhelming work of packing and moving. I am tired just thinking of all you are doing. I hope that you will be blessed with energy and strength. Good luck dear.
