SUNSHINE

 Almost forgot to write sunshine. Beautiful this morning.  Of course , I am thankful for rain too.  I have a busy day today.  I am trying to take it slow and do it all.......... Little things keep getting in my way.  But that BIG bowl of oatmeal with applesauce will give me energy, I hope.  I hope to change St. Patrick to Peter Rabbit today.  That is a real jump. But I try to do them all.  I think of the things I used to do here to keep me busy.  I have slowed almost to a halt. I still cling to my Choir and to decorating the Hall table. Can't sing well, but I never did.  But the Joy my decorating I do, is , I hope, making some smiles.

RAIN AGAIN

 I know, I promised not to talk about the rain .  But .......

Amy came yesterday and brought provisions and conversation.  Both needed and enjoyed. She brought Brown'n Serve Sausage links, among other stuff.  We used to buy them all the time.  So easy and good. Made by Banquet.  I had two with my usual waffle with blueberries, o. j. and coffee. Perfect. They will perk up an egg any style. 

I really do rely on easy to do things.  Sometime I feel lazy and good for nothing.  But a a little help is needed. With my girls and modern ways to fix almost anything I want, I can stay living in INDEMENTANT LIVING at SCV.  That is how it works.  That is what I strive for every day. (and it gets  harder to do each day)  But I am up to change, who knows what the next day will bring.  Good thing we don't.

I AM LAZY THIS MORNING

 I think I should stop the meds to stop the drainage. Because I think it is causing me to sleep too much ,even though it says no.  But that is the way I react to some meds.  Oh well I am getting tired of "ME'.  Rain has stopped and that subject will stop too.  

I really do need to find a better subject.  I am on the last few pages of John Grisham's book  THE EXCCHANGE, and if you have read his books you know how exciting the last few pages can be.  It goes so fast that I end up rereading the ending more than once to take it all in.  I am saving it for a time when I can finish it.  And not be bothered.

RAIN

Remember when we prayed for rain?  Always asking for something else. Good thing we are not in charge.

I had dreams that I can remember so clear last night.  Sometime I loose them before I can really remember them. This one was about my generation of the Ellis Clan.  With children grown, we often would get together on occasions for a party. Food and drink was fun to prepare. This dream was with Ruby and Tom.  She looked beautiful in the dream and he was dressed up too.  We often brought something to add to the food served. I showed up with exactly the same thing as Ruby.  And it was a beautiful jelled fruit dish. New to us all, but them same as each others.  She was very upset in the dream and I was too.  What could that mean?

p. s. she was easy to get up set !!!!

BALCONY IS STILL

 I wonder why so still and silent. Beautiful day but no activity.  Is my being on the Balcony bothering them?  Well get used to it, for I was here first.  Amy and I watched a pair of ducks inspecting the grounds in front of me.  Looking for a nesting place.  Would be sweet to see them build their nest and let us watch the little ones hatch.  It seems the pair of Doves that I feed are doing the same thing.  They were both looking right under my balcony under a shrub. Of course this is what I think.  I really don't know. I just watch and hope. Amy came for a visit.  We really got caught up and enjoyed each other.  I am so happy to love my girls and they me.  We enjoy each other. 

I had grits this morning with a soft boiled stirred in.  Try that one.  Not much cook up mess.

GREEN MEADOW

 I got to sit on Balcony with cup-o-joe.  And my pair of shy Doves.  The full feeder of their favorite treats was tempting to them to start feeding, but they kept an eye on me anyway.  I named them Jack & Jill. They are so regular to come.  Tit Mice are cute little birds and "chatty".  My bird neighbor across the way is declaring he saw Hummers and he is putting up his feeder. I think he is a little premature. As I sat this morning, I saw the Meadow is all green now. So pretty with the sky of blue. So mild this morning, but no walkers. Maybe they haven't tested the weather yet. Anyway, I love siting out there and I am tempted to plant my pots, but know to listen to the weather and wait.  May still have a light frost before it settles into Spring.

FULL DAY

 You laugh at me.  But there was a day when my days were full.  But a trip to Dr. to get my toe nails trimmed is my way of a start.  I also got to go to Choir practice.  Waiting for Dr's orders for a problem. Full Day for me.  I overslept on top of my problems this morning. As we always say (I guess I needed it.)This morning looks promising . Got a memo from Dr. and meds are on the way for the new problem.  Oh Boy, never I thought I would be in this fix.  But it is real.  

Dinning Room biscuit with my famous scrambled egg, got me on track.  They make the best biscuits.  I "squirl them away) for just a day when I need a pick me up.  Sun is shinning. birds are feeding and fighting. I have so many kind. It has been fun to see them, but soon I will stop feeding and start with the Hummers. I bet they are traveling toward me know.  Hope so.

BETTY (so many blessings) BOOP
