| The warm temps have brought the imitation cherry tree into bloom |
It was in the 80s yesterday and today, but don’t put away your sweatshirts or winter PJs just yet. Supposedly more seasonable temps are on the way (highs in the 50s & 60s) and will continue for several weeks.
But spring is here. I see forsythia in bloom as well as other flowering bushes, and the daffodils bend and bow in the breeze. We’ve had quite a lot of wind and not too much rain.
It did rain on Sunday though (3-23), and Mike and I killed some time by getting groceries. While we were at Albertsons, we visited JoAnn’s. The shelves aren’t quite bare, and the prices are still kinda high. Some areas have signs announcing that more merchandise will arrive soon, while other aisles are bare and taped off. Actually, I saw quite a lot of fabric – 50% off, 2-yard minimum cut, but the yarn is mostly gone unless they get another shipment. I had no trouble walking out empty handed.
I have started seedlings in trays under grow lights, but honestly, I think I was just as successful when I sprouted them in peat pots in the kitchen window, plus they needed less handling. Perhaps it’s not too late to do that, especially for planting at the farm.
I’m
sorry I haven’t had a lot to say. Writing my talk for court in Boise next week
has renewed my anger, and the muse went away, except for the one that’s writing
the talk, of course. I have had more senior moments than I care to divulge,
like leaving the kitchen faucet on, neglecting to turn off the stove, and
steaming the broccoli in a dry pan. (So glad that the warm temps have allowed
us to air the house. That burned broccoli odor really lingers.) I’m hopeful
that once the court visit is over, I’ll have better focus. I’d hate to think it’s
time for the condo or assisted living, but I will accept graciously if/when I
must. KW

You aren't ready for assisted living. Don't even think about it. Some days are just stressful, and this, too, will pass. A month from now, things will look different. Just say "I can make it through this rough patch," I love you and pray for your well-being. Things may get a little testy, but it will pass. Have a super day.
Thanks for your encouragement, Chuck. I trust your assessment that these were just normal lapses. Suffice it to say that today I have successfully turned the kitchen faucet and the stove off, but I told Mike that I feel like I should avoid showers for a while to make up for the water I wasted.
