March Sunshine

Hey!  March came in like a lion but today is a beautiful, sunny, springlike day.  Ahhhh.  We were just over having coffee on Zak's deck ... because they are on the sunny side of the street.  One need's to soak in that early, spring sun ... rejuvenate, regenerate!


Zak peeking in the corner with Indy, the evil cat, in the background.

Mingus has just left on a two hour hike with his buddy Zak.  Mingus will be 7 on March 7th.  Yes, he is really growing up.  He is ever alert, ever vigilant in surveying the territory.  There just might be SOMETHING to bark at or chase ... any moment now.

Spring came early with the geese arriving mid February, at least a few then and MANY more now.  A very mild winter, especially since Christmas.

I had Flat Stanley come to visit in the mail last month and had fun writing up and sending off info to his classmates, back in Barrie, Ontario, about the area we live in.  I have since sent Stanley on to a friend in Powell River to learn all about Island life.  Stanley was very well behaved and a pleasure to host ... so if you ever get a chance to host him, be sure you'll enjoy the opportunity.

Ladies' studies are over for now, I have a month off before starting something new for the spring.  Thursday and Friday we did bread making followed by potlucks for the winter wrap-up.

Mither has had a couple of falls lately (unhurt) and is not eating much any more.  I will soon head down to check on her.  She sure has sturdy, strong bones.  I got her income tax off in the mail but must do mine soon.

Roo-B had a major overhaul, getting ready for spring.  Sigh.  These cars do suck up the money.  Too bad they are such a necessity.

If you wonder why I don't post, well as you can see, there really isn't a whole lot to post about! Already I must bid thee adieu ... leaving you with not much in the way of news or entertainment!  Sigh.  Trust all is well in your worlds ... uneventful is safe if nothing else.  Smile.

It is always good to hear from you.It is a beautiful warm day today,so I'm hoping that means spring is around the corner,but in Manitoba we hold our breath till at least the middle of April.We can still get some major storms coming through.

Nice to find this new post, Eileen, and even better to see a photo of you and Mingus. Sorry to read about your mother having a few more falls. Wishing you a happy Easter and springtime too.
