tuesday
Certain chickens are being very noisy right now, clucking more and interested in going into the nest box in the daytime. The three younger ones - Sunshine, Blondie and Dorothy. I think their hormones are telling them it'll be time to lay eggs soon. Noticeably longer days now.
Practicing "Could I Have This Dance" on the piano. It was a song that Dave and I danced to in our early dating days and I think of it as our song. So it's nice to sing along with it and think of that.
Dave went yesterday to have a procedure on his throat. They went in and looked around with a scope and found he has a hiatal hernia. Probably what was causing his swallowing problem. As we were coming home from that he felt like he was catching a cold. So now I don't know if I'm getting one too. My nose is running more than the usual winter way. The other day I slept very heavily for 3 hours in the afternoon - it was hard to wake up and I went to bed early that night. Afterwards I thought maybe I had been fighting something off that day.
Dreamt that we were living in a new-to-us old house. Exploring it and getting to know it. The people before us had left a lot of things sitting around. The basement was a huge room but there were no proper stairs down into it. There was a very rickety narrow ramp that was held up by loose stacks of boxes and boards. I went down the ramp okay, but when it was time to come back up I was very afraid. It seemed much more wobbly then. Candy came for a visit and came down too. Then we were both afraid to go back up. She kind of freaked out and started to climb the wall but there were no handholds and she fell down hard on her back. I went to her and thought, I won't ask her if she's okay. She'll tell me what she needs to tell me without me asking. Let her rest as long as she needs. I'll just stay with her and be there to help her up when she's ready. She asked will we ever get out? I said yes, I'll get Dave to help. I started to holler for him. At that time I knew he could get us a ladder, it would all be okay and I woke up.
I don't think this is done yet but I thought I'd take a picture of it anyway. This is how I remember what the creek looked like yesterday afternoon when I walked the dogs. Three white sycamores, the dry leaves scattered in the grass, the island of rocks and weeds in the middle of the creek, the sun behind the hill.
Another sunny day today. I was going to hike with Jan in the morning but I cancelled it in case I had a cold. So now I have a free day.
