SUNDAY AND SUNNY SO FAR
Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 6:48 amGOOD MORNING TO ALL!
Much warmer this morning, although a good stiff breeze out there is making it cold outside. Temp is about 36 degrees. Only electric heater in this trailer, and it's comfy.
Spoke with Beth last night, and she was in the middle of all that storm activity. I sure hope the night went ok for both her and Sparkle.....and for anyone else in the path of that nasty, angry, violent weather front. I am wondering where that system is this morning. We all need to keep our eyes to the skies and those weather radios on when needed.
Yesterday Molly and I took a walk to the pond, and I found my South Beach Diet book in the leanto, where I first felt it was, but I missed it the other day when I looked there. More often than not, WAY more often than not, in fact, my first thought about where something is is usually right, if I go back and recheck. It's annoying to tear things apart when I don't find something where I KNEW it should be----as I did my bookshelves all over this property! Where was the book? In a box inside a protective food box (under the dried foods) at the leanto, to protect it during the winter from mice damage! Sigh!
Today will be a laundry day, and getting into the sun as much as possible, as, although the sun is out now, I can see clouds on the horizons. We will walk the property again, looking for evidence of animal activities in the night. We have tons of deer, rabbits, (who have now turned totally brown from their winter white---technically varying hares) way fewer birds than we used to have, turkeys, coyotes, squirrels, chipmunks, mice, moles, turtle nests all over the dam at the pond, which were either dig up by predators or by the babies digging their way to freedom. There are tons of turtle eggs shells all over those areas. I will also pull up some of last year's dead plant stalks to make room for this year's wild plants to grow. My gardens are all wild things, other than the one rock garden next to the house where my crocuses are. I allow milkweed to grow in there, however, for the Monarch larvae to eat---plus I LOVE the smell of milkweed flowers almost as much as I love lilacs. Speaking of lilacs, it looks as if I will have NO flowers on those bushes this year, for whatever reasons. It sometimes happens that way with those flowers, and I will miss them terribly. I peeked into the swelling buds to see if I could see fetal flowers, and I saw none. Sob.
So the coffee is hot, and the table is ready to have you stop by and leave us a note about your day. I hope to check back later and see tons of neat conversations! Or just a tiny note! Beth, please check in so we can know yours and Jean's rigs made it safely through the night.
Happy Sunday!
