~Snows Goin, Yard Work Time~

I was sitting at my usual spot having coffee and
I was thinking about what all needs done outside,
and how was it gonna get done, specifically- WHO
was gonna do it.. Its not in Pennys job description
to do my yard work.. She does some, as a courtesy
to me.. But this year the whole west side of this
place should be cleaned out.. There are TREES
growing right next to the house, they need to be
taken out, not counting the stuff that needs pulled
like the dead peonies here by the backdoor.. and
the sunflowers from last year.. Lots to do.. :-)
While I was thinking all this I looked up to see Carl
out there raking the edge of his yard.. Good timing!
I had thought about asking him what he would charge
to clean along side here AND to edge my sidewalks..
They drive me nutz seeing them look so.. un-neat :-)
New word :-) They look iccky front AND back.. The
front... Well .. its totally disgusting and I'm ashamed
for anyone to see it.. I guess with 4 days of rain
they are hoping the poop will melt. But you KNOW what
kind of grass WONT be out there this summer? Ya..
None or Ickky looking kind.. THAT makes me un
happy...I like a nice yard...
I KNOW we are.. ok .. Penny are.. gonna plant some
more sunflowers.. Hopefully to attract those gold
finches.. What a beautiful bird.. And of course my
hummers.. They say that they are pretty tame.. so
MAYBE ifn I can get a deck out there and sit there,
they might get used to me and come right by me..
or better yet LAND on me.. Wouldn't that be great!
Ive seen photos where they have..
Woodie was out there this morning too.. He hadnt
been by in a while.. He jumped from the tree to
the birdbath, back and forth.. Usually he goes up
onto the stand for the corn.. I got some nice pics
of him.. He was pecking at a spot in the tree over
and over.. I noticed sap is running down it.. that
may be what hes after- Me thinks Spring is springin!
My sis phoned yesterday, shes doing some sewing
for her great grand daughter that's due in May..
She was putting in sleeves.. and I KNOW what a
pain in the butt they are to do.. So she took a break
from that to phone.. :-) The baby is Amy's, Bev's
daughter.. She has 2 little boys already so this
being a girl.. well I KNOW mom and gramma's are
excited.. This is 3 for Bev.. This will be my great
great niece.. ya.. Bev, Amy, baby.. ya.. Had to count
for a minute.. :-) Beverly has a nice family.. a son
too, named Chris.. He was a kid.. some of the stuff
that boy did was awesome.. We never knew what to
expect from him.. All boy.. hes grown into a handsome
guy.. I don't know him very well ... sadly. but I keep
tabs thru Shirley, she keeps me updated on everyone.
Beverly.. well.. shes one of my Honeygirls... cuz shes
a honey.. Cutie too! :-)
Rebecca is due today, not sure what time.. She may
wait till she comes up to pick up her son from day
care.. which will be about 4.. I don't mind her coming
that time of day.. very few I will let do that though..
I prefer my 'visits' to be morning.. 9 or 10... I poop
out by 1.. :-)


I closed this puter down yesterday, right after I
posted the blog.. I got my kool aid.. and went into
my bedroom, sat there for a few minutes to wait
for the TV to come on.. I looked at my bed.. Yawned
and said to my self.. "TAKE A 5.." I did.. :-) I got
up on my bed.. fixed my pillows.. tucked a blanket
around my stumps.. and I took a nap.. next thing I
knew it was 3:15.. :-) I had a nice 5'er... :-)

Well.. anyhoway.. its post time and for this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE to find some lunch.. what... I have NO
idea.. and I don't have any cravings.. My yellow rice
was so good yesterday.. I put what was left in the
freezer, as I wasn't sure if I wanted it 2 days in a
row.. I may just have some Mrs Grass's Noodle Soup..
Extra noodles of course.. with some club crackers..
THAT sounds good.. Menu is decided... so color me
gone for today.. but remember.. I SHALL return!

Always, Lois ****


God Bless You, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    HI Gorgeous,
    Well, most of the snow is gone here too. We did some yard work Monday. The fallen trees are now gone - big open space in back - lost the privacy on the sun room.
    We get lots of goldfinches - so fun to watch 'em change color in the spring. Also get the red-bellied woodpecker - nice pics.
    Spring is trying to come - just a little slowly,
    Take care - bare hugs,
    Butty

    We are going to have rain from Friday until Monday I'll let you know if the roof leaks. It was repaired after that fire last March.

    GREAT Pictures Lois.
    It has been a bit cool today for me.
    Done some shopping at second hand places today, got me 3 long pants for 10 cents each...last week I paid a dollars each...100% polyester pants with pocket is what I like the best...I use to get them on sale at Penny or Sears...but now we don't have those stores in our town...plus I save money this way.

    I went back to the doctor today, because of some pain I was having...he let me know I might be doing to much..shopping and getting in and out of the car does put me in pain at times...then it like to stay with me for the rest of the day...
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary
