Treasures, Contractors, Mother's Day, and More

First of all, I would like to both thank and apologize to everyone who visits my blog and leaves such nice comments. It really helps me in my current situation, which I will elaborate on a little later.

Recently, while cleaning up under the deck, my husband discovered a real treasure. I thought these kinds of things only happen in movies - who hasn't seen Amelie? Turns out, in real life, you can also find a treasure.

What made the biggest impression on me was the mysterious piece cut out of a Polish newspaper. I can't see any dates, but the paper appears to be old. Maybe the child who put these things into the box didn't realize that there was another secret hiding under the lining of the box.

Spring delights us with warm days, lovely weather, and blooming plants.

However, not everyone spends springtime the same way. Our time has come to change the electrical wiring on the upper floor. For that purpose, a hole was made through the ceiling. Of course, I made some photos of the part of the attic that was revealed.

For the first time in my life, I have had the misfortune of dealing with contractors. I have to say that my mood came to resemble something like this:

I think I need to do it one more time.

Phew. Now I feel much better. I'm ready to enjoy my salad.

Mother's Day was very cheerful on our street. How wonderful that we have some creative people living on our street.

My daughter wished me a happy Mother's Day, gave me my presents, and took me out to a restaurant.

This is the view from my bedroom right now. The petals are falling down, and real magic happens in front of my eyes every morning, before the contractors show up. Wish me luck; they'll be back tomorrow!

I have recently neglected your blogs not exactly because I don't have any time, but because, most of the time these days, our electricity is cut out. That's okay, though - at least my front yard and backyard are becoming more beautiful each day.
