(no subject)
Yesterday I used muscles I had forgotten I had. I cleaned the snow off the roof of the family room and then had to shovel what piled up on the ground away from the foundation. Such fun.
More beaded i-cord came off the needles last night. I really am beginning to hate i-cord.
My friend Barb gave me a Begonia a few years back and if you remember right after getting it the bear overturned the pot. I replanted it and it lives outside in the summer and in my office during the winter. Yesterday, as I was whining about being cold and wet from raking the roof I turned around and noticed this…
Could the groundhog be right and we will have an early spring? I am withholding comment since the drive is a sheet of ice.
The sun is out and the kittens upstairs are all stretched out in their favourite sunspots. The even got excited about their least favourite type of cat food - the one containing liver.
My coffee is gone so I guess I had better get moving. I want to get a jump on the weekend laundry and other projects so I can devote a bit more time to the dreaded i-cord.
