Get Outside - Spring is Coming

I can smell it. I can see it. I can feel it! Oh what a beautiful day!!!!! The sun was out and it was in the 60's. What a gorgeous day. Got to be out - no time to blog too much!

Winter Wackiness

I'm back to my normal self.

And wondering what to write about.

I told hubby that later around 5:15 to 5:30 we would pull up chairs to the big window out front and watch people try to make it up our street hill (with all the snow and ice out there)as they head home or head out to work. It just might prove to be the highlight of the day!

I went around an tromped about in the snow in the backyard. With my wedding dress. Taking pictures of it in the snow on the ground. I have a few that might work out okay (see above) but the sky was SO overcast today.

Here is the conversation I imagine took place as my neighbors watched out their back windows.

"Honey, come see this. You aren't going to believe it. What is she doing?"

"What IS she doing?"

"What's that she's got? Is that a dress? Is that a WEDDING dress?"

"Well, it looks like it. Kinda hard to tell with all the snow."

"It looks like she is taking pictures of it. Do you think she is taking pictures to sell it on ebay?"

"I don't know. That's the strangest thing. Why wouldn't she just do it inside? Like lay it out on the bed?"

"Look, she just threw it into the bushes. It's gonna get all snagged. I don't think she is trying to sell it."

"Well then what on earth is she doing?"

"Well, she was off today. Maybe she is doing drugs or drinking."

"Maybe she is mad, like angry. Or maybe mad, like crazy."

"She sure is weird. Now she threw it on the ground. I wonder if she will walk on it."

"No, doesn't look like it. She just keeps taking pictures."

"Maybe we should move."

"But they seem so harmless when we talk with them."

Blogging and Traveling

How often is too much?

Yesterday I thought of about 20 things I could blog about as I deep cleaned the spare bedroom in anticipation/possibility of having guests in the couple days.

And I kept myself from blogging again because I had already written my blog for the day. But, it is MY blog. Can't I write more than once a day?? Or is that bad blogetiquette? And if it is, does anyone else really care?

My mind travels a lot when I do menial things, like folding the laundry, dusting, driving, etc. Oh, did I just say driving? Well, you have all done it I'm sure. You get somewhere and wonder how on earth you got there. You don't remember the drive. You were on "autopilot," a line from the movie CLICK, which I believe to be the non-religious, all season version of A Christmas Carol.

See how my mind travels? I went from dusting to movies in 2 seconds flat.

Yesterday as I was typing my blog, I was sitting at the kitchen table, looking out the window. As I started typing again, something caught my eye. It was a giant bird! And he was flailing as he landed, which is why it caught my eye. First, I made sure it wasn't an eagle (which wouldn't be that impossible as we are fairly close to the Missouri River and have seen them flying around, along with seagulls and other water birds.

But, it was just a Red Tailed Hawk. I got a few pics from the window but they didn't turn out very well because he was still pretty far away. The best one is below.
