I Think We Have Skipped Spring

Today after church I opened all the windows when I arrived home.  I have been doing this since the weather has been so nice.  I have the ceiling fans going which makes it very comfortable.  Miss Penny loves looking out the windows and watching the squirrels and birds.  In fact, she runs from one to another to follow them.  Well, opening the windows is over for now.  A certain Miss Penny apparently was trying to get outside and pushed one of the screens over half out.  If she would have gotten out I’m not sure what she would have done since she has never been.

I didn’t do much the rest of the day and evening.  My blood pressure was really out of whack so I thought it was better if I just took it easy.

Today is another day.  It is hot, humid and cloudy.  However, I actually have shorts on.  This morning I did some outside work.  I filled the birdfeeders, took out the trash, picked up twigs and branches so I can cut another section of grass, and fed the bushes that needed to be fed.  It’s going to be a busy day! 

Okay, I just finished mowing the grass where I picked up the twigs and branches.  Kevin is going to have to use the weedeater around the new fence because I can’t get the mower close enough.  Now it is break time and lunch time!

Lunch is over and I have been mowing more grass.  I have one more section to go, but I can’t finish that until Kevin puts gas in the mower.  The gas can is too heavy for me to handle, and the place where I have to put in the gas is in an awkward (for me) position.  My next project will be to finish mowing the grass and pick up the twigs and branches (using the cart) and take them to the pile in the back yard.  The it’s back to weeding.  Gotta love spring J

Kevin is at a bee keepers meeting tonight.  He gets his bees on Thursday.  So, Stephanie’s boyfriend, Gary, filled the mower for me.  I closed the shed doors.  I am finished for the night!

Finished mowing the front grass this morning.  Next step is hooking up the cart to the mower and picking up the twigs/branches and taking them to the pile down by the woods. 

I took one load of twigs/branches down to the burn pile.  I have the cart filled with another load, but I am taking a break. 

So much for spring.  I think we have gone into summer.  Officially, they are saying we set a record at 87 degrees – in March!  I never did go back out after my break.  My allergies are at an all time high.  Between the heat and allergies I am done for the day.  It’s supposed to be this way tomorrow again.  Apparently the rain we were supposed to have isn’t going to arrive.  However, it is going to cool down next week.  Yea! 

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!

It is now Thursday, and I have received an email that the last of the trees we ordered have been shipped.  They should arrive next week.  I am about to order three more trees.  They are for my front yard.

The garden is doing great.  The orchard is looking good.  Trees look healthy.  The original purple martin house is full of birds.  I have seen a couple of birds flying around the gourd house.  Not sure if they have set up a nest yet. 

This morning I headed for Tigertown (Opelika).  First stop was Books A Million (bought six books), next was Hobby Lobby (bought puff balls for Penny)  and last, but not least, was Kroger.  Penny loves to play with the 1.5 inch pom pom balls.  However, she hides them and eventually I can’t find them so I have to replace them.  Then, when I move furniture to clean I find some of them.  I think some end up in the trash cans.  She doesn’t care what color they are, they just have to be the right size.  I won’t give her the small ones because I am afraid she would choke on them, and she won’t play with the bigger ones.  Picky, Picky, Picky!

It’s March Madness time, and I do enjoy watching basketball.
