This was us yesterday. The wind was blowing so very hard in every direction. I didn't think the umbrella would hold up on the short trip to the mailbox. Sun is supposed to shine but it is MOSTLY cloudy so far today. We were blessed with 1.5" of rain. I hope you saw the links I posted in a Bulletin. So many people with homes burnt to the ground from fires and others with no roof or not much left from tornadoes. Please keep all in your prayers.
Glad you had a good visit with your daughter and grandson Cheryl, and that your trip was safe. It's scary driving with that wind tugging at your car. I spent all day inside with honey as my new phone came and it took us 3 hrs to get it set up with Verizon and that was with tech support! I can't remember hardly any of my apps so I'm stuck there but did get my contacts put in one by one - boy was that a chore. Don't think I told you I left my phone in the bathroom at a restaraunt that we stopped at - was in the bathroom - and when Iremembered it - it was gone just that fast. No one tuned it in either. We called the number twice and it went to voicemail so whoever took it must have turned it way down or off. As soon as we got home we called and had it turned off - that was another several hours. Maybe tomorrow will be more of a normal day. I didn't even have time to make dinner tonite - we did eat though. On my way to the Verizon store to see how else they help Have a good nite and a good day tomorrow. Hug, Wendy
Springtime in Texas! Wildfires, High Winds, 80° to 30° temperatures, 2" Rains after Ice Storms. Somehow we got the yard mowed & bagged all the dried grass. Well, not all of it because dogs come in the doggy door covered in dried grass after rolling around outside. Then on a calm wind day, we got the fertilizer spread before the next rain.
This weekend we watched college baseball, softball and boys and girls basketball (Longhorns won their matches). Also the dogs all four got a bath and they are thrilled or not.
Sure hope you are enjoying Spring weather and the weekend. Share your Smile and know that I am sending you lots of
Stormy looking weather yesterday evening. Wednesday we were above 80° and working just a little in the backyard, I broke a sweat. Thursday we got the yard mowed; all the dead grass bagged up and ready for trash pick up.
Of course it is much cooler today. And we still have to put fertilizer down probably this weekend before we have a chance of rain on Monday. I am anxiously awaiting April when I should be able to move plants out from under the plastic into the trees and the yard.
You know... head 'em up and move 'em out. Yes, right now I think I am ready for summer. Yee Haw!
Are you wearing green? I am wearing orange (big surprise) with maybe a hint of hidden green.
I know! I can wear a hat. Do you have a hat to wear?
OK! Everybody looks like they are ready to go to the St. Patrick's Day party. Do we have to bring something to eat? I want something green to drink, maybe green tea!
Do you know what time you will be here to pick me up for the parade and the party? Which pair of dancing shoes are you wearing? May I have this dance?
Hope you have a safe trip while on the road to your daughter's house, Cheryl. Enjoy your visit. My grandfather had a big rose garden behind the house, boy could he grow them! Our kitchen window looked out at them, they also lined the back of the house. One of my favorite ones was called Peace. There were all colors of roses from yellow, orange, pink, red and white. One of the nicer memoriess of growing up in my grandparants house. Have a peaceful nite's sleep. Hug, Wendy
Midway through the week and washing lots of muddy dog towels. Yes, we forgot to put the doggy door on first thing this morning.
Do you have any magic up your sleeve? Or anything magical planned for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow? Will you be wearing green?
Cats may be finicky eaters but I bet they don't come in with muddy feet or mud caked between their toes! Thank goodness it is warm and they can stay outside until we get everything vacuumed and mopped. Then they will all get a bath and we will start the entire process over again.
Don't understand how missing out on an hour's sleep woul affect someone - but then I never had the problem. It was 67 and sunny - I was inside all day - wanted to get out but didn't. Started making split pea soup this afternoon and we ate around 6:30 - had some kind of bread - like French but softer and butter of course. Turned out good conidering I've never made it before. When reearching it, all the ricipiess seemed just about the same. Not sure how someone ele makes it. Wishing you a good nite. Hugs, Wendy
It might be just one of those days! Do you know what to do to change that? Share your smile with others.
After our 1" of rain we are smiling except when the dogs come in the doggy door with wet and sometimes muddy feet. Then they do something cute and irresistible and make us smile again.
