Spring

 Do you look forward to Spring? I grew up in Michigan and I know Spring was a welcome change to the snowy, cold winters.  Here in the south it's the same.  We're tired of long pants, shoes and socks and we long for milder temperatures before Summer sets it.

Here in Tallahassee (and much of Florida!) Spring comes and goes in March. Some disgruntled Northerners like to send these cold fronts to annoy us!  To be sure after the front passes we have lovely sunny days, but we're just as tired of the cold as all you Northerners.  Stop it!

Yesterday I woke to 35 degrees and it was chilly inside so I had to run the furnace for a bit.  Same this morning. Hopefully this will be the last Artic blast we'll have this year

The Azaleas are bringing us pops of color every where

The Roses by the patio are looking better everyday

Don't know the name of this bush but the white flowers are pretty

Mix and match!  Mostly Stampin' Up! but the bunny is Not2Shabby

Are you bothered by the pollen in Spring? For me it used to be just Pine pollen.  I think I've added to the list!  The past couple of weeks find me sneezing and clearing my throat a lot.

Jim Has a Birthday

 Our weekend was lazy.  Didn't go anywhere on Saturday.  I did some chores around the house.  Laundry is always a big deal and I managed to strip the bed and remake it.

Sunday the birthday boy turned 84.  Most of the day was spent quietly.  We had some much needed rain roll through with a bit of thunder and a tornado watch.  Sonsearae and Chris picked us up for an early dinner at Ted's.  Jim had Bison meatloaf that he really enjoyed.  I opted for Bison brisket, both came with mashed potatoes, gravy and buttered carrots.  I have leftovers. I should not have indulged but it was so tasty!

Fat Tuesday.  For years we lived in New Orleans and Mardi Gras is something to behold!  We have some King Cake and Sonsearae gifted us with red beans a Jambalaya to enjoy.  No celebrating for us. Tallahassee doesn't indulge.

Today was a normal day for us.  Jim had some lab work done, he sees his PC next week.  Meanwhile I had some 'carving' on my left ear.  Awhile back my dermatologist took a sample and it was benign but they wanted a deeper slice this time to make sure.  Right now it's quite painful and I can ice it and take Tylenol.  Sleeping is the big problem.  As you can imagine laying on this ear will be painful.  I bought a pillow with a hole in it witch will help.
