Woke up at 3am with a coughing spell...wandered into the bathroom...then looked out the window to see a million stars...back to bed and finally back to sleep...brilliant yellow orb and birds singing were my alarm clock at 6am...May 1st and at least one day of spring has arrived!!!
Yesterday it snowed, rained, cold breeze blew all day long...Sun peaked out for brief periods...I cleaned out the refridgerator, straightened the pantry, swept and vacumned... just some general house cleaning...looked halfway presentable when Pat stopped by for a visit.
I finished reading my book, between scrabble games and angry birds. I've started on a new series by Jacqueline Winspear, first book is "Maisie Dobbs."..It was very good and I have another one (not in sequence) but will read it anyway..."An Incomplete Revenge"...Also have started another series by Alan Bradley, the "Flavia De Luce" series...the first one was "The sweetness at the bottom of the pie" and this one is "The weed that strings the hangman's bag", what a title...Also have to read "Committed" by Gilbert for book group in three weeks.
Now I must get moving and go outside...plant some seeds...trim the little apple tree...dig a weed or two and replace my vitamin-D...that according to blood tests is severely under supplemented...I wonder why???
Yesterday Herb noticed three pairs of Gold Finches checking out our bird houses and eating seeds on the quaking aspen...He quickly filled the feeder and now he says they are having a "hell of a time" chasing each other around trying to keep the feeder to themselves...keep your fingers crossed that a pair will take up residence in our yard.
Fixing chicken, potato salad and ??? for dinner...Must go--OWAV:)
