One of my friends called me this morning and said that on her way to work she saw some nut jump off the bridge into the river. I was horrified at the thought that someone would do that and very sympathetic to my friend who witnessed that act of desperation. I told her how sorry I as that she had to see that today, then she laughed and said, “April Fool’s!”
War on Dandelions
This year I am waging war on dandelions. They are all over my yard and both of my neighbor’s yards. I have tried to pick them before they turn to weed, but they blow into my yard from my neighbor’s yards, so my yard is doomed. I think out of self defense I am going to have to pull them from my neighbor’s yards, too.
Happy Birthday Lil Bro
My brother is 10 years younger than me and today is his birthday. It is easy to remember his birthday, it is the same date as mine, just a different month, minus 10 years.
So, Happy Birthday, Spencer!
Dog Treats
Shopping for dog treats is getting so complicated. I like to buy a little toy or bag or special treats for my dog. The toys never last very long, so if I spend much more than $2 or $3, it is a waste of money. But lately most of the toys seem to be $7, $10 and more. That is crazy for a toy that only lasts 10 or 15 minutes after you get it home!
Our Aunt Jemima Snow-woman
We worked hard on this snow woman! It took over tow hours of rolling snow and finding her accessories. I love it!
Bitter Cold
It snowed yesterday and got very cold. The snow was blowing around from about 1:30 in the afternoon until I went to bed. But when I woke up this morning, there was hardly any snow on the ground.
Now we are expecting more snow tomorrow. They are forecasting about an inch to an inch and a half. I wonder if it is going to stay cold enough for the snow tomorrow to stick around for a few days. I would love to make a snowman, but I won’t have time until the weekend.
No Shadow – Yay!
The groundhog did not see his shadow this morning. That is great news!
According to the Groundhog Day legend, if the groundhog sees his shadow when he first comes out of his hole this morning, the shadow scares him so badly that he runs right back into his hole and stays there for 6 weeks.
But if he does not see his shadow, he stays outside and we all get to enjoy an early Spring.
So, we are hoping for an early Spring and the groundhog is saying that we will have one!
Hot Apple Cider
Winter makes me crave comfort foods, like meatloaf or chicken and dumplings. I also crave hot beverages, like hot green tea, hot chocolate and hot apple cider. I just tried the Caramel Apple Spice drink from Starbucks, and I LOVE it! If you like apple cider, I hope you give this a try next time you go to Starbucks. It’s dee-lish!
Cell Phone Rechargers
My cell phone recharger got stepped on and now it doesn’t work. I have to get to the store and buy a new one ASAP. My phone battery doesn’t last long any way, so if I don’t recharge the phone every night I run out of battery charge before the day is done.
Yard Art or Shrine?
