I know that May is tomorrow, and I know that April is EARLY spring, but
what I don’t know is what the heck to wear these days. Especially because
whatever the outside temp, at some point in the day my office will feel like
the arctic. NO I AM NOT BEING DRAMATIC. OK, yes, a bit dramatic.

I wanted a project to keep me from chewing my fingernails off during the hockey game and a friend sent me this idea! So cute. I’ve been enjoying watching it swing back & forth while I drive.
Coming back inside from
hanging my “planter” on my rear view mirror, Dr. M & I saw this hummingbird
moth. Their wings go so fast that they look pretty much transparent in this
photo.

The Dr. Van Fleet rose at Dr. M’s dad’s house is lovely as usual.

These photos are actually on different days, but I thought it would be fun to see the evolution of my feet during the week. The first photo is “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WOMAN” accompanied by a space heater. The second one was ok, but these are my winter feet. Is this not spring? The third photo is a dorky, but comfortable, compromise.

While walking at the mall with my bestie, I had to stop and take a photo of the penguin art.

Dr. M made vegan chili and it was SO GOOD! Of course, by the time I added sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla strips, it was no longer vegan.

Sue’s birthday was Thursday, but since she was celebrating with her REAL daughter, I spent time with her & Dad on Friday. We went to the American Legion fish fry (delicious!) and then came home to have a slice of the birthday cake her daughter gave her. It was extra delicious.

Dr. M’s welcoming committee when he came home. I took some treats out there, but they had to have a good scritch session before thinking about treats. Roy’s such a good boy.
How great is a week with cake? It's been sorely lacking here at the Dept., even though we've had a birthday. It's so hard to get everyone together anymore.
ReplyDeleteI really prefer vegetarian chili, but Rick does not. Still, we eat meatless a few times a week and he doesn't complain, so no big deal.
The weather here...UGH. Cold, damp, grey, awful. How shall I ever endure it?
It was in the 40s when I left for work this morning. I do not approve.
DeleteWhy don't you have a video of Dr. M twerking?! I am always happy with a Roy picture, and I am a HUGE fan of sandals with socks. I don't care if it's unfashionable -- it's comfortable!
ReplyDeleteI REALLY wish I'd gotten that on video. If we win the next series I'll be sure to be ready. Ha!
Deletesocks with sandals. works for me. saw a picture of another temperature blanket, knitted I think, with mitered squares showing the high and low of each day.
ReplyDeleteI've seen versions of those & thought they'd be really cool. I like the one square per day ones and also the one square per month.
DeleteI understand the problems around getting dressed these recent days. Here also - chilly mornings, hot afternoons. Rest of your week looks as though it was nice.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice - and then this morning it was in the 40s. What the heck.
DeleteLopping and removing huge weeds in our backyard. Three days so far. And, uh . . . jeeze, I guess that's about it. Bo-ring!
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, you can add clothes to deal with cold. They're muttering about heat indices in the hundreds this weekend, and I'm thinking... there's only so much I can take off, and taking it off would mean sunburn anyway, so... Still, we have made it to May with gorgeous weather and lovely temperatures (50s night, 75 days) so there's that. I love your little swinging planter. That's really, really cute.
ReplyDeleteYou may notice that it's 3:30 a.m. while I'm posting this. I woke up thinking about work deadlines, and here I am. Maybe if I get caught up here, I can go back to sleep for a couple of hours!
You are so right about being able to add clothes - it's just that I'm bored with all my long sleeved stuff. Ha!
DeleteI've been having some sleepless nights lately because of my big work project. I keep freaking out as if it's all 100% on my shoulders and IT IS NOT.
