Windy Days

Too much wind!!!!!!!!!! Warm, dusty, and windy----that's the weather not me. Hoping for a calmer weather week. Have a lot of outdoor stuff to do and hate to get beat down by the the wind----wears one out.

Volunteering this AM at the Chancery, Mass at noon, stopping by Home Depot,  then home to do more outdoor stuff. Lots of barking dogs in this house this AM----makes volunteering more delightful---call it a  "mom's" day out. Looking for more volunteer opportunities on days like this.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Putzing in the Fog

Weather cool, (40+), foggy/overcast... Sun trying to burn off the fog. Love how every day here in KS is a big surprise. Oooops---just saw some sunlight burning through the fog ---Yee Haw!!!!

Mass this AM. Waiting for exterminator to come by to perform annual pest checkup and spray for spiders. Then plan to run errands and come home to putz, putz, putz.

Have a great weekend, stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Another Nice Day

Another quiet morning---remember quiet is nice. "Boys" fed, chillin' and quiet.....nice.

Off to Mass this AM, volunteer at rectory, then home to enjoy some outdoors. Should reach the 70's today. Remember the saying?---April showers bring...Do not believe it---March and April have come in like a lion----believe it!!!! Wind has been terrible the last 2 days. Have some small branches/twigs to pick up in flower beds/yard. Plan to sweep all the leaves off the deck this evening to prep it for tomorrow's staining project. The wind (if any) should have quieted down by then.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Quiet at Ma's

Off to a good start---"boys" fed and quiet. Quiet is nice.

Yesterday: Mass in AM, visited w/family on the phone, read the paper/book, had a wonderful meal at Keith and Becky's. So windy but warm all day. Stayed indoors most of day.

Today: Volunteer at Chancery this AM, Mass at noon, run errands, then home to putz. Have a lot of putzing to do---putz, putz, putz. In fact, after this winter, I could probably place first in a putzing contest. Sixteen more days before I can officially garden. Looking forward to having my visitor from up North who will be here shortly after the official gardening date. Just looking forward to the visitor---to heck w/the official gardening date---we shall putz together.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Warm Day Ahead

Mass this AM then more putzing outside. Little raking to uncover some plants---possibly put some of the Nandina's in the ground. Planning a trip to Sam's to get some potting soil and get some pots ready for planting. Browsed through some local nursery's this week and have been promised more plants will soon be put out on the racks. Waiting, waiting, waiting...tick tock.

Went to Stations of the Cross last night then home to watch TV (House Hunters International), fed apples to "boys."  I keep telling myself "they love me" when  I know in the back of my mind I am their food source and that is what keeps the tails wagging.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Ma's Happy

Sun's up, temperature moving toward 70's, slight breeze and Ma's happy. Have been out in the yard trimming shrubs, moving leaves out of flower beds and loading branches/stems/leaves into trash cart. "Boys" lounging on back deck, birds singing and Ma's happy.

One would hope this weather sticks around for more than a day. Mass this AM, bi-yearly furnace/AC completed, now in the process of house cleaning, sweeping...
