Tina, I wish you rain---we are having a cold front move thru-- ---warm--I would like warm----

Today in Rocky Mount Va. it ...is....spring!!!

I pulled on a sweatshirt with my jeans and went on one of my walk-abouts. flowers are bloomin' all over the place! The sun is nice and warm. There's that brush of green across all the forests, and the weeping willows really are weeping leaves. They're so pretty.
And, I actually saw a bird with bits of straw stuff in it's beak. Is it too early for them to be nest building? Or, if spring feels like spring does that tell them to nest?

bluebirds start nesting sometimes as early as February and robins are one of the first birds to start. So maybe you'll have babies soon.

It's nice here today too. No wind. It's hard to believe it will be freezing tomorrow.

Oh good! I've seen Robins for a few weeks, and there is a blue bird nest box on a pole by the garage, I watch every year out my window. Goodie!

Last year on March 20th it was 83 degrees.
Tonight it will be 15 degrees.
What a difference a day makes here! (...or a year...)

Cindy, I blame this weird weather on YOU.

That's what the guy on the news just said!

He said "The record low set for this date is 15 degrees, and if we hit that record low tonight it will be the fault of Cindy Moore in London Kentucky!"

Well the man went to school & was taught to know weather--so he MUST be right !!!

I reckon when it gets 100 degrees this summer I'll be blamed for that, too.

Of course! Everything will forever be your fault

well that is so---but just think Cindy, if you do something well, then you do !!!

G'nite

Good morning

Another day. The months are flying by! Can't wait to see how today developes. If it is nice with no wind my grandson and I will walk down to the park after homework. Maybe take snack with us, like a mini picnic.

Hope your day is awesome Shirley and you get to go to the park

spring, day two, 23 degrees cloudy and flurries.Snowed on and off all day yesterday!
I am in a weather funk

yea, Kim--me too=---25* here--really ??? must say, I have NO idea why I live in Illinois---I shall blame my family----I just wonder, when there are a lot of states that have warmer more even weathered temps---why would a person live here-- --BUT on the up side, we are 1 day closer to summer---hopefully it will warm up by then, huh ???

My snow crocus need the leaves removed--they are being smothered & so are not blooming like they might---BUT if I remove the leaves, surely they will freeze---this happens every year---

Going to see my sister today---so that shall be entertaining...

Cold here....brrrrr!
Fell into the big 'Herbie' trash can this morning. Thank God it was empty....and hope nobody saw me.

Good morning. I will not talk weather. I am sorry for all suffering with a lingering winter.
I need to make a couple quick errands out today. And maybe really cook something. I haven't cooked for a few days.

'morning all

Very cold here as well, and after the 6 inches we got Monday night, they are saying we might get some flurries today, and perhaps measurable snow on Monday. Say it isn't so!

Carol - my bulbs are all up about 3 inches, BUT... the #$@% deer are so desperate this year, that they've already come around and topped them all off. No telling if I will get to see a single bulb flower this year once again. PHOOEY!

Cindy Faye!! How did you get out?!

Good afternoon....

Hoping everyone gets warmer weather soon...and that Cindy can stay out of the garbage can for a bit

The garbage can fell backwards when I fell into it, so I just slithered out of it backwards like I did last time I fell in.
I am sooooo sore now! My belly hit the top edge, my arm feels like it is almost dislocated, and my head hit the side going in and felt like it tore my ear off. I laughed my @ss off, as usual.
I'm glad I keep my trash can pretty clean...and it was empty because I was bringing it back from the curb.

Only you, Cindy, Only you !!!!

tomorrow I am going to my sister's as my BIL is off to work for the day---then I will come home & make supper for my DD & her Dh so they can eat before they drive up to Chicago for the weekend. I will keep the dog, beowulf.

Juniegirl, are you and your BIL taking your sister somewhere?

My 5 year old grand daughter broke her ankle yesterday at the growth plate and can't bear weight for 2 weeks. Can you imagine a 5 year old who has to sit still. I'm going tomorrow and we're going to try to get her in a position to dye Easter eggs. Pray for us.

Gosh sad for a 5 year old. Haley is 6 an never sits still...She plays soccer in kindergarden.
She is the kicker.

It's going to be hard and will get worse as the weeks wear on. The doc said if she puts weight on it and injures it more her leg may end up shorter than the other so we've got to keep her off it.

Well good luck with keeping her still.... can't imagine how to do it with all the experience I have with the boys... they just don't know how to sit still....

It's been a good long week here -- seems like it is dragging along this week.... my crocus are blooming now- a couple of them-- just in time for more snow maybe this weekend... or rain or both... hateing this up and down weather... keeps me aching so much....

Boys have a half day tomorrow- so I will get boys.. Jon is going in to work so I don't get my Fri off this week... hopefully they will be good... will be inside if weather gets as bad as they say it might... course we may get nothing too... I think they spin a big wheel and say whatever it lands on....LOL!

Well off to finish dinner...

Have a good evening all...

Sheri, my sister is recovering from her back surgery....., so as her DH is going to go back to work, he would feel better if she were not left alone.--We have a good time, so kit is no strain on me. Tomorrow we May go to the tea room where her D-I-L to be works, but for sure we will make a cake that she wants to try.

Good news is my sister's DH only works part time, as he is a retired coal miner. so I do not have to be there say, 5 days a week---(not that I would mind)

So sorry to hear about your granddaughters broken ankle, Sheri--I do so hope that they are able to keep her quiet for long enough---that is going to be one tough job indeed....Poor baby--

good night everyone, Sweet Dreams

Cindy, you mean you do that on a regular basis?? I'm sorry but if I had been there I would have laughed my *ss off too!!
I am sorry you were hurt though.

Sheri, I feel very sorry for your granddaughter.....and everyone else. That is going to be a long and hard couple of weeks.

Oh, by the way,....Good morning everyone

LOL Carol I can do you one better, other than my kitties >I have NO reason to stay in Michigan. Sigh~ But that is another story.
Day 3, 27 degrees. so far. Hope springs eternal. >I would settle for some sun and 40 degrees!

Good morning.

Saying a prayer for your grand daughter Sheri.

Snowing again..but what else is new for where I live.

Hoping you all have a nice weekend ahead.

Me too..........

ºDid you get your sunshine today Sheri? I sent it an now we have none,, 22º

Cindy .. put a rope on the can an just pull it up from the porch.LOL
Of course the highway men will not get any laughs that way.

Have a nice day

Good morning. Happy Friday for all.
I hope you can keep your granddaughter amused and still, Sheri.
I have a bit of running around to do today. I never did go out yesterday.

Bettr get out Tina.......Its almost Palm Sunday an Easter needs , come in handy.
Have a great day out.

Junie, I misread your post. I thought it said you're BIL was off work today instead of off to work. I remember that your sister had surgery now. Thanks.

My grand daughter is doing well so far. She has a little wheel chair and a little walker and seems to understand that she has to be careful. She's always been older than her years. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts for her. We had a grand time dying, glittering, and painting Easter eggs.

dodge, we did have a beautiful day. It was 25º but no wind so I loved it. Thanks for sending the sunshine.

I don't even know what "BIL" means.....

Glad your granddaughter is doing OK with the "mobility" issues. I have broken a few bones in my day but the feet have always been the worst. Guess maybe because I never stayed off it when healing. (That's because I was a grown up and nobody was my boss but ME! ...and I have always been a bad influence on myself)

NP Sheri----Cindy--BIL means (at least for me) Brother in Law.

g'nite everyone--Sweet Dreams

Yes Cindy, being the boss of yourself has always been a bad thing for you!! You are not safe from yourself!

My dogs decided I needed to be up at 6 am on a Saturday... ,, One of them had a squeak toy in my bed, squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak , I'm guess he thought my alarm was broken since it didn't go off at 5 am,, Silly boy, he's the puppy and still has a lot to learn

Ha hsa ha
Blame the master for giving the squeak toy.LOL
That is funny,

Have a nice day girlie......Long one
