Yeaaaah! The Snow Is Finally All Gone!!

APRIL FOOLS!!!

April 1, 2015

Good morning everybody.  Gosh, I haven't been able to play that silly game for oh so many years.  I hope you all are able to fool someone in a fun way today.  It just sort of brings out the "kid" in us.  Actually, the snow is still here.  It is melting, but slowly.  (This is good so it won't flood our basement) 

Here's a photo I took this past Saturday while it was snowing.  As you can see, there is still a lot of snow in our yard, but it is disappearing little by little.  I thought that the red and blue against all the white made this a very appealing photo.

I found a rather cute image on one of my girls' web pages and just had to borrow it to share here.  It is just so comical and yet truthful.  As you can see, us New Englanders are rather resourceful.

Well, last night, I turned in really early and while I was debating whether to read or crochet, I fell asleep.  And I slept.  Pogo woke me up once to give him a late night snack (he was hungry because he did not eat his supper), and then I fell right back to sleep.  I think my body was plum tuckered out.

This morning, I could not justify staying in bed past 7:30 so I decided to get an early start on my emails and such.  The sun is shining, and it is 33F degrees.  The weather man assures us that it will get up to the high 40's later today. 

Tomorrow is supposed to be in the fifties, so Pogo and I will go out and do errands and have the car checked.  Who knows, maybe we'll even visit a car wash.  After all the salt from the winter snows, my car can surely use a bath.  We'll even do lunch at the park and maybe get a few new photos of the ducks and geese.

When I went for my over all health check up on Monday, I got both good and bad news.  The bad news is that I put on a few pounds.  Not too many, but none that I really needed.  The good news is that unless my blood work shows otherwise, I'm all set for another six months.  So it's a good thing that SIL Eddie finished putting my "stepper" together.  Whenever I pass by it, I do a few steps.  I don't usually make it past one minute, but I'm hoping that every little minute will help.

Yesterday I did a bit of shopping on line at Amazon.  It's just amazing at how much of your shopping you can do here.  And the part I like best is the free shipping on most everything.  Someone asked a while back if the mattress and box spring I ordered from here was for me.  No, it was for one of the dwarfs. Replacing these things is just part of regular maintenance for a rooming house.  Having them delivered to the house for free is a treat.

Well, I suppose it's time for me to get busy and maybe run the vacuum and do a load of laundry.  Maybe tomorrow I'll have a few more of those useless tidbits of information for you.  haha.  Before I take my leave, here's the April page from my calendar.

I'm going to open the living room door now so that Pogo can watch the squirrels that are playing just outside the door.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all have a beautiful day.

Hugs, Edna B.
