| Western Spring Beauties popping up everywhere overnight! |
Wednesday 3/25. The overcast began breaking up and the sun was peeking out by 10:30 am when JB and the dogs left for their morning walk. Our high for the day was 48.
Last night JB discovered a couple small trees that had fallen over the road where the bank gave way. He was able to just barely drive around them, so today we drove Miss Kitty down and cut them. Was a beautiful day and the dogs loved the exercise.
We are enjoying the gluten free chocolate cupcakes that JB brought back from Trader Joe's. So yummy! Unfortunately none of the Costco stores he went to carry the gluten free pretzels and other snacks any more.
What is it with the fashion industry's fascination with stretchy fabric? It seems as though women's clothes these days are all in some way stretchy: tops, bottoms, everything. Whatever happened to plain old cotton/polyester blend? Even the fleece sheets that JB's Mom gave to us are stretchy. They are very cozy, but they just don't stay in place. Same with the queen-size fleece blanket we bought at Costco. Arrgggh!
Thursday 3/26. It was 45 and partly overcast this morning. The snow has completely disappeared, and the mountains are back in sight. And, suddenly, overnight there are Western Spring Beauties popping up in several places.
JB cut nine rounds off the smaller tree today, his back giving out before the chainsaw did. I stripped some more branches, and gave the girls fresh shavings in their nesting boxes. Two eggs today.
Am now also using the rinse water from the dishes to flush the toilet. Every little bit helps.
Tomorrow I plan to go Down There to do laundry and run some errands. JB plans to move all the rounds to the splitter in the tractor bucket, as well as the stripped branches to where we will build the new wood cradle.
Today was an absolutely magnificent Spring day that we all thoroughly enjoyed. The sky cleared early and the sun shone brightly. Our high was 56, but I am sure it was at least 60 in the sun. No jackets needed today. And this is the first day that I have finally felt 100% again. Have never eaten so much fruit on a daily basis in my life, but it seems to be working.
Friday 3/25. This morning is 45 with mostly clear skies. The forecast temp for Down There is 70!
Thought for the day: What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday? Brad Johnston, quoted in Guideposts March issue
