HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH!
I hope everyone has a wonderful and healthy week, and I hope you all have a lovely March. Roll on spring!!!
Here's a photo of some Northern Cardinals in this past week's Indiana snow storm. HERE I have several pairs of these on my patch.
OG – Pain can wear you down. I do hope you can get some relief. {{{HUGS}}}}. As for toilet paper, our local factory is now running 24 hours, their warehouse is stacked high and supermarkets are imposing “max of 4 per purchase”.
The Grand Design behind us progresses slowly as the workmen only come 1 or 2 days a week. The ”upstairs parent’s retreat” is now taking shape. There appears to be a large window facing our back yard. I hope they enjoy the view of my washing. Actually a north-facing window will be very hot in summer and they will probably need to add curtains, blinds or shutters.
Other states have been getting massive amounts of rain. We have had hardly any. But it is much cooler, mid 20s.
Kind regards, Ann
Annette: I loved seeing those high-res Mars photos. Extraordinary!!! You're right that the geology has a "familiar" look. Some archetypal appeal to the most primal part of us humans, I think. Thanks for posting the link.
Hi to everyone!
OG: I hope the pain is easing for you. Thinking of you tonight.
Good morning. Cool and dry but rather cloudy so far - atmosphere definitely feels as if there is some weather coming! AQ - good to see paper wrappers on down-under toilet rolls - we still have plastic wrapping on them here! As you say, that big window behind you will surely need blinds against the full sun. Glad you are getting cooler temperatures, but sorry about the lack of rain, especially when there is far too much further east! ANN and DIANE - thanks for the thoughts - will be glad to see my orthopaedic man later this month. LINDA - lots of buds appearing on various shrubs now - mostly in the front garden which has sun all day. Timing of some blooms is weird - don't usually have the Daffodils before the Crocus! Sorry your usual hairdresser is still off sick - for her sake as well as her customers - that has gone on a long time. Little Wood Mouse hadn't appeared for a while, but was running around happily in the sunshine yesterday afternoon, despite several altercations with a very inquisitive Starling.
HEATHER - whose birthday is it this weekend - I just can't remember? I'm pleased you enjoyed your tapas lunch yesterday - I envy you that restaurant! I'm trying to think where to go for OH birthday lunch mid-month - it will be the day after the event so that J can come too on his day off. J is in bed with migraine this morning - first for a very long time.
