Morning All!

Even though I haven't been commenting I have been reading and enjoying most of it. So much going on. Tons of crafts. Some Illness and heartbreak. Beautiful pictures. What a joy to wake up to in the morning!

Life here has just been work and otherwise really boring. A mouse started to eat my plant starts in the basement! Well I set up the live trap last night with crackers and peanut butter and this morning I have caught a mouse! He will be disposed of later. That is my excitement.

Ground here is either frozen or mushy. Still a few clumps of icy snow. Dh raked a week ago.

The birds were just a singing this morning.(outdoor wood stove keeps the house nice and toasty) The bedroom window is open so I can hear them clearly. Yesterday I was trying to get a picture of the 3 Killdeer that are coming in the yard. They just chatter to each other. My camera is not good enough and they blend in so well this time of year.

Liz love the ducks that come to the store for a handout! Sorry you have been sick. Was worried about you. Work is the same. Just fewer hours most of the time. I do take extra if they are offered. So I worked all weekend. The store was crazy this weekend. I was going in circles putting stuff back where it belongs. Almost got dizzy and I can do that very well on my own.

The stump with mushrooms is beautiful. Now I will have to go and look when it dries again. But it is too early here.

Sharran If the Japanese fern lives here I would think it would thrive at your place!

Jude you are even more busy now that you are at home! I bet you feel good being able to take time to figure out what you want to do. Learning to cook! What fun!

Trillium are illegal to transplant and pick here. Years ago they were almost picked to extinction. Unless it was something told to us kids so we wouldn't pick them!

I need to go and find some breakfast. Maybe oatmeal with apple pie jam!

Here is a picture from last fall.

You all have the day you need!
