Sleeping with windows open is a sure sign spring is here. The rumor of snow was only that, though now the weather man Guy mentioned it for later in the week. I could do without the 6:00 a.m. barking patrol and think I best refill my Clariton supply, but otherwise fresh air and nothing through the vents is good for sleeping. A couple weeks ago my daughter and I bought these tiny little pots of flowers. I went ahead and followed the instructions yesterday morning finally, covering with plastic wrap as stated to create a little green house, and they are sitting in a window sill. I'll keep you updated on my progress.
In other flower news, the bag below was part of my Fab, Fit, Fun box and I love it. It is a good size to use as a weekender and will hold enough to go back and forth to the lake for a couple days.
I've been looking on-line for a couple dresses for the two upcoming weddings. I do not want to spend much, but my wardrobe is abysmal for special occasions. I'll try a couple thrift stores, but have put a few in my virtual shopping cart as back up and will need to decide by first week of May so they have tie to arrive and test out. I'll also be done with shot two on April 24th, so May 8th is the date for the full two week protection, so could look in real stores as well. As both are outside weddings, being able to wear a sweater is a must.
I have to do another shout out to Sheila at Ephemera and her post from the weekend. Check out her black and white poncho about mid post. I had to smile when she said this is her computer sweater. This is my black and white shawl/scarf, that I uses as my computer sweater, putting on my lap to keep the drafts at bay. At least my lap has some of Sheila’s style.
The weekend was a bit of cleaning, a bit of sorting, a bit of baking, and a lot of lazing as a tired bug hit me hard yesterday late afternoon. What was going to be a short eye close ended up being a good hour plus nap. I guess the point of weekends are to get caught up not just on house stuff, but also sleep if that is needed. Both girls had their first dose. I helped my younger daughter get her second dose scheduled in our area. They could not schedule at a different pharmacy location, but I called one local, and they were able to find a slot exactly four weeks (Moderna) from this past Saturday. Maybe I was getting pseudo tired from my kids vaccines!
We looked at the house with my daughter-a no go. There is just too many quirks that were not quaint, and a lot of work. The best part of the house was supposed to be the yard, but even that was muddled with a horrible view of the back of a warehouse type building, and an oddly shaped lot line, with an eye sore shed on the neighbors property. She had though it was on the lot she would be buying and it could be taken down, but nope, stuck with it. When it's right, she'll know.
Today is a long work day as I have my Monday night call. It's a gray weather, possibly rainy day today. I hope to get a little exercise video in mid-day and a long walk later with pup. April is living up to the poem so I hope May does as well. I hope your week starts off well.
