Another week..........

Happy Valentines Day to those of you who celebrate.  Happy Monday to the rest of us!
Have you ever noticed that people react in different ways to different situations?  There  are people who, even in the worst of situations, are able to find a kindness and a gentleness.  And others who, given the smallest opportunity, find a way to act ugly.  To humiliate,  threaten, demoralize others.  Unfortunately, Ive dealt with far too many of the latter   in my life.  Ive tried to understand them, why they need to put others down, but I just dont get it.  Then, I look at myself. Do I act in positive ways with others, or do I allow myself to be ugly in my treatment of them?  Sometimes the hardest thing is to do self-evaluation.  I think it helps to keep us on track, to help us be the best that we can be.
When I went outside this morning I heard a songbird.  He was in the Cottonwoods outside the back door. I was thrilled!  The first songbird must mean Spring is coming.  Soon it will be time to brush out the heavy winter coats on the dogs and the mules.  The Llamas will need their coats sheared, somewhat like sheep do.  That should be an adventure!   Jason  thinks I should try to sell the rovings, since I dont knit.  Id love to see someone that I know use the wool.  Dolly, the female llama is looking much healthier. The home that they were in was a caring home, but not big on good feed.  We  feed  good hay to them, and they get corn daily.  Already her coat looks better.  Poor thing was bred too young, and I think has been bred almost non-stop since then.  We will give her a break to get healthy.   That means moving Harley out into a bachelor pad so that he cant get to her, but it will be ok.  He will have the mules for company.
Today I will do some cleaning, some organizing.  Still going through my sewing stash of fabric and patterns. Planning is half the fun!  I want to braid some pads for the kitchen chairs.   I want just the right color combination, so i will be sorting and matching. 
What are your plans? Are you seeing any signs of spring? Do you have a to-do list in mind?    Have a wonderful day.
