Glory be! We hit 79° today with plenty of sunshine! A top-10 weather day, for sure. Two of my granddaughters came for a visit that lasted most of the day. We walked up to the library, picked out quite a few books, and then walked to the playground at a nearby lake. When we got home we sat outside and read our books. It was a great day to be outside!
shareI got to sleep in again, played computer, walked the dog, got birthday and Easter supplies with dad in town, and we celebrated mom's birthday a day early with a fancy dinner at Red Lobster. Now we gotta go and sing for 6 services at our church tomorrow on mom's real birthday.
shareSounds like a day well spent and Happy Birthday to mom!
It was about 70 here too
To my extreme shock both of my leaf blowers pooped out on me and I couldn't find my big rake...I had to knock on the neighbor's door to borrow his gear
Took two days but the yard looks quite tidy!
Two leaf blowers went to that "great raking field in the sky?" Someone's trying to tell you something, although I have no idea what that might be. One of my neighbors had her power mower out today. My first thought was, "who the heck thinks it's time to cut the grass already?" But I soon realized that she was mulching the leftover leaves from last fall. Made sense then.
shareI mowed yesterday too
And blasted the yard with a backpack blower today...The entire property MUST be presentable;)
God Forbid the The Jones' get ahead of me!
Our snow hasn't been gone long enough for the grass to grow. Everything is still mostly brown. We had some rain a couple of days ago that helped get rid of it, but not enough to make things green. Shouldn't be long, though. Today's warm weather was such a nice gift to us winter-weary folk.
shareThe bleak/brown look gets very tiresome
I like the brown woods for hunting and fishing but otherwise not at all
It does. I can't wait to see the leaves pop. I'm going to have to do some repair work to the "pet spots" from Bailey. Not thrilled about that, but oh well.
shareYou got it💪
Maybe have a heart to heart with Bailey...he's a pain in the neck!
Bailey (she) has moved on. It all happened rather quickly; my son and Bailey moved out last weekend. I'm reacquainting myself with peace and quiet. Ahhh. I was fine with them being here for a while, but I'm happy to have my house to myself again. No worries!
shareGood for you

No, I am the mother of my son. Bailey is my son's dog, a 2-year-old chocolate lab. She's a sweetie and a real bundle of energy. But she still needs to learn a few boundaries, such as food on the kitchen counter or the dining room table is not hers. Oh, and she doesn't seem to realize that Irish Spring soap is not food. In the four months they lived here she ate three bars.
shareit was cool. and I mean COOL as in 60s or so. but the sun was out! I liked it a lot.
shareBleak, thanks for asking. It was about 80 here, but the sky was gray and stormy looking.
shareNorthern Hemisphere is the best!! NORTHERN HEMISPHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!!!
shareA solid 7 out of 10. An improvement from the average 5 out of 10.
shareMy day was alright. I worked from 9:30 am-6:00 pm and then came home and watched the movie, Murder By Contract. Then, I watched the first two episode of the Key and Peele show, which I had never seen before.
shareit was fine. i finished reading girl, 20 by kingsley amis, and i enjoyed it all quite a bit. i'm reading ending up by the same author next, hopefully starting today. it's apparently meant to be extremely dark, but that's a selling point for me.
i did 3 hours of biking, watched a lot of trashy movies (most bad, a few great), & i got quite a good night's sleep.
all in all, it was a-ok.
