I AM BACK ON BALCONY

Glad to be here on Balcony.  With double robe and high top slippers and a good cup of coffee.  COUPLE WALKING WITH PURPOSE . came briskly by.  Like them.  Two crows were fussing at each other.  I saw at least 30 Canada Geese up close. and a small group of "other" ducks on the other side.  No getting together for them. I expect to see much more activity among the birds soon.  Looking for the Bluebirds. Goldfinch are something to watch in the Rose Garden. Much pleasure to all.  Still enjoying flowers.  Having fun decorating for Valentine's Day.  I have a monkey hanging on my door with a valentine on his chest.  Got out the old valentines Truman's mother saved from his school days and added a few to my hall table. I hope someone will take them someday and appreciate them.  So sweet and all about the times they were given.  O.K.  onward to the day.  I am getting my toenails taken care of today.  Just like Bitsy.

27 Brrrrrrr

Frost on the Meadow.  Our version of snow.  My reflections will be from the window. No brave walkers yet  Bitsy's visit to her Vet went well.  Just some joint problem.  Due to taking  Prednisolone for her itching from allergy.  One thing bothers the other-just like humans.  I am gradually bringing her off it.  You don't just stop it suddenly.  A new med for her joints. It seems as we (and cats) get older we have problems.  We will fix her up soon.     ,She is lucky to have such good love and care.  She gives it all back.  Good Cat--my Bitsy.  Still wish I had named her BETTY BOOP.  I have been wearing my new Betty Boop socks === what fun.

BETTY BOOP  P. S. Bitsy also got her claws clipped.  She loves that and I do too.

30 degrees and groundhog day.

No snow here, but my family in Indiana have a lot this morning. Will the Ground hog see his shadow here.?  I think he will and he will hurry back in his den for more winter.       I am still glowing from my birthday.  What a party.  I believe God is an artist.  You have to look out early to see such beauty.  Every set of clouds are different each time I see them. It was unusually beautiful at 6:30.  Now the sun it out and clouds are gone.  

I wonder what to do when I run out of strawberries.?  They make everything taste good--especially the lowly oatmeal.  Buy more, as you can get them most every month of year and they are usually good.  Rye toast and good old turkey bacon add a lot as well as a "good" cup of coffee.

That is my day so far.  Amy is taking Bitsy to Vet for a check up.  Not feeling up to par.  We will see.  I have not brought her carrier out yet, so she does not know where she is going.  Shhhhhh! Don't tell her.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!

I had a day yesterday like I have never all had before. 29 of my family on zoom and I talked to many of either relatives or friends.  My if that wont get the heart happy, nothing will.  And I do have a thankful, happy heart this morning.  I do  love words, as they can sort of tell you how I feel.  Thanks everyone who did so much to arrange it  Hey, I had a good breakfast.  Along with egg over light, turkey bacon, rye toast and gift strawberries and strawberry jam (another gift) and I had forgotten that there was good coffee outside of Kroger Morning Blend, when I made a wonderful gift coffee from my daughter.  And those daughters out did themselves with everything I could imagine.  I noticed several things I had mentioned I would like, plus much, much more.  Can't thank everyone enough.  I I will be "playing" and trying out new ones of my gifts a long time.

SO BETTY BOOP-WITH FLOWERS INSIDE AND OUT SIDE MY APARTMENT,  AND BALOONS ON HER DOOR, AND WERING BETTY BOOP SOCKS. I bid you a good day too!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

And what a day it will be.  ZOO is coming this afternoon with many  family members joining in.  I hope I don't mess up . I do that      with this computer.  Funny how I give everything a name.  Not for this computer.  Does not deserve a name.  But I do love it.  62 is Spring weather.  Balcony was great.  After a hearty breakfast of grapefruit, oatmeal with luscious strawberries, half of SCV biscuit with turkey bacon and the ever loving coffee in a big mug.  I think of my Mother and how she loved Spring time.  She could make anything grow and she could not wait to get started.  I appreciate the new blooms and leaves she loved now.  You have to just wait sometime for these things.  Like being thankful for those memories.  Well I must get on with the day and glow in the attention.  I really am humble and do not feel I deserve it.  But thank you Lord for all  good things.    BETTY BOOP

  

MORNING HAS BROKED

And what a beautiful day it is.  At 43 degrees, it was just right=when you dress warm and have a cup-o-joe in hand.  I saw a pair of ducks looking for a nesting place for their expected little ones.  I hope they find a place near me.  New Bluebird houses have been put up where needed.  I can see 3 from my Balcony.  No birds yet, but we are ready.  They are such beautiful birds.  It seems Spring is coming and I hope soon.  

I am feeling better today.  Thank you Lord. I have been overwhelmed by friends remembering my birthday.  I am looking forward to ZOOM on Sunday.

DID YOU MISS ME?

I have been a little under the weather a few days.  Old blood pressure took me to ER and we now think it is under control.  Hope so.  That ER was wild.  Crowded and the wait was long.  Poor Amy and I wait for hours.  Don't yet feel up to par, but better.   Kind of scary.  

32 and sunny.  Too cold to go outside yet.  Maybe later.  Bitsy  is a little confused, but she is rolling with the punches.  I am operating a little slow so I will go rest and try to catch up.
