I'm Having Yarn Withdrawal

March 6, 2020

Good morning.  Tis 66F degrees and cloudy.  Ah, but it is still beautiful.  Florida's Winter is like our mid to late Spring.  Today and the next couple days will be cool.  That means sixties and low seventies.  I can definitely handle this!

Pogo and I both woke up hungry in the wee hours.  He ate a whole serving of his doggy pate, and I had a bowl of ice cream with fruit and cool whip.  Oh my, yum, yum.  Then we went back to sleep until almost seven o'clock this morning.

Folks, I'm having yarn withdrawal.  Can you believe that?  It just doesn't feel right not to have at least a couple yarn projects nearby to work on.  This will have to get fixed this afternoon.  Yup, I just need to go out and buy some more yarn.

Crocheting is a win win for me.  Someone gets to have the crocheted item and my hands get to keep on working.  Audrey gave me quite a nice idea for the ponchos for Jazzy and Lilah.  I should put pockets on them.  Really!  What a great idea!

Today will be busy.  Housekeeping called to see if they could come by today instead of Monday.  They are going to be short staffed next week.  Of course, I said okay.  They will be here in a little while.  Also, daughter Audrey will be arriving here in a while too.  I can't wait!

Today I thought I'd share some photos that I took before I left home to come here.  This first one is one of our fat little squirrels.  There are lots of them on my property.

This little fellow is way over to the side of the yard, and I was on my porch.  My little camera has a great zoom lens.

Next I have a couple photos of one of our resident turkeys.  I call them our birds because they come by every day for their food.  This one is so pretty.

And so full of attitude!  I think he's saying "Don't just stare at me!  Take a picture and let me eat in peace!"

You have to admit, these turkeys are really very pretty.  Look at all the different colors in their feathers.  And all the different patterns!  Nature is so very beautiful.

I'm hoping to take lots of photos here during this next week.  I haven't gone out so far because of my breathing problems.  I'd rather have someone with me, just in case.  I have to think of Pogo.  If something happened to me while I was out walking, what would happen to him?  So I don't take chances.  He's too precious to me.

On the news, they are talking about airline fares being lowered drastically now because not as many people are reserving flights.   It costs less to fly round trip to Europe than I paid to get here.  Amazing!

And Tito's Vodka is telling its customers that it really is not a hand sanitizer.  It is only 40% alcohol.  Hand sanitizer needs to be 60% alcohol.

Bill Clinton is saying that he is now sorry about what he did with Monica.  (It took this long?)

Time for me to go and do some blog reading.  So, till Sunday, Y'all have a fantabulous weekend.

Hugs, Edna B.
