I have sixty-six (!!!)
unread blog posts on my blog roll. I have either been too busy or too brain
cloudy to do much more than crochet or play a game on my iPad. There is an end
in sight (I’ll be back to only working one job soon), but I’m pretty sure the
only way I’m going to catch up is to mark everything as read & start fresh
at the end of April. Sheesh! And sorry!

April 1st
Easter Sunday morning selfie.
Dr. M saw a butterfly! The snapdragons seem to be doing
well, and my wildflower garden is coming along (at least we hope all those
seedlings will be wildflowers – ha!).
Male yellow-bellied sapsucker, and a grackle looking so much
prettier than its name implies.

April 2nd
Happy little bluebirds! I think these are my favorite pictures of the week.

April 3rd
It was warm & sunny enough
for Dr. M to put an “awning” over the swing. This is the best one yet –
curtains that we brought from Ohio & ended up not using. You might recall
that we’ve used bed sheets and a pirate flag in the past.

Ms. Rita geranium’s first bloom of the year and a glorious
sky.

April 5th
Dr. M planted some impatients to
go with our pansies. He says, “Sunny, standing guard like a GAR statue, facing
south, ever watchful lest the Rebels rise again. I tried to explain to her that
West Lincoln High School (Home of the Rebels) is several miles south of here,
so they rise (or ride the bus) every time they come north to play Fred T.
Foard, but she would have none of it. Well, she is from Xenia...obviously an
Unconditional Unionist!”

April 6th
It was snack o’clock – yum!
Dr. M was on a roll with his captions
this week. Here’s the one for this picture: “Keeping us safe from the
Russians for nearly six decades...they are a bit concerned about Alexa.”

Lunch – turkey & cheese & mayo and peanut butter
& jelly. Most excellent!
I’ve been avoiding the next afghan square because it seemed
extra worky. I had to learn how to use butterfly bobbins (which are basically
tiny little skeins of yarn that you create so you don’t have to manage the big
skeins when you’re changing yarn colors). You’ll have to wait until next week
to see the end result.
Due to my cloudy brain I have nothing to say here. How about
you tell me something?
Hoping you survive the two-job days/weeks. Glad you can enjoy some down time to crochet and/or play games. Don't worry about missed blogs. You have been so dutifully faithful friend and follower. Now, take a break.
ReplyDeleteIntrigued by the butterfly bobbins.
Jealous of your Spring!
ReplyDeleteall of that on one sandwich? you eat the weirdest stuff. don't worry about catching up even though you are missing some fascinating posts by moi!
ReplyDeletePeanut butter, jelly, cheese, and mayo? Uh.... I've met some interesting ethnic foods, but that beats all. Love the swallowtail butterfly, and Ms. Rita's first bloom. That ought to cheer you up. If you feel foggy, just look at that!
ReplyDeleteThey say nature abhors a vacuum, and today Nature (or circumstance, or whatever) gave me something to help fill up the space left by Ms. Dixie Rose. I found a fuzzy, yellow, absolutely undamaged wind-up chicken in the parking lot: the kind that goes in Easter baskets. I wound it up, and it walked all around the kitchen. I laughed my fool head off.
I love your Easter selfie, all the flowers, the birds, and the mandarins (have been eating a lot myself lately), but I'm just going to keep my mouth closed about your sandwich. You can't be helped...
ReplyDeleteYou have Alexa? We got one from our son for Christmas, but really all we do is ask her to tell us the weather and play music. What does Alexa do for you?
I remember working two jobs...it's exhausting! Glad this is coming to an end for you. Hope that one that stays will work out OK.
