IT WAS A DAY OF PAINTING & SORE MUSCLES

WE HAVE ONE TULIP IN OUR FRONT YARD & THIS IS IT

Had we had a nice sunny morning Pheebs & would have been off somewhere but with rain in the night & an overcast sky I decided to put my painting hat on & get at it.

WE’VE DECIDED TO DO THE WALLS IN A TAN COLOR WITH WHITE STRIPES

NOW YOU REALLY DIDN’T BELIEVE THAT DID YOU

Kelly had a Doctor ‘s appointment at the Goderich Hospital first thing so she was on the road early.  With cooler air moving in she said it was a foggy drive.

I’M READY FOR MY PROFILE MR. HITCHCOCK >>>

I spent 6 solid hours painting & by 1:30 this afternoon my legs & back were so sore I had to go ease into my recliner for an hour & give my aching muscles a much needed rest.  I did manage a short walk later with Pheebs under partially sunny skies & was able to grab a few photos for tonight’s post.  Always so nice this time of year watching all the Spring colors emerging.  We even have Trilliums growing right beside our house.

 

SO NICE TO SEE GREEN LEAVES AGAIN 

Here’s kind of a neat site that may be of interest to a few folks.  Called Flight Radar this site tracks aircraft all over the world at any given time.  Flight carriers are identified complete with each planes flight number.  It also tracks the planes & if you watch closely you can see the flights moving & follow them on their flight paths.  It is amazing to see the number of aircraft in the skies worldwide.  Thousands!!

Checking the rainy weather forecast for Saturday it looks like I will be up to my elbows in paint again which I guess is alright because I can finally complete the painting job & stroke it off my list. 

SPRING HAS MANY SHADES OF GREEN

Could be early next week before Pheebs & I have a sunny enough morning to head out again.  Possible snow flurries are still in the forecast for early Sunday morning.  Maybe we’ll just throw on the snow tires & head on out anyway.

WE DO HAVE PINE CONES IN OUR PINE FOREST BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THE THEM….WE PICKED THIS ONE UP ALONGSIDE THE ROAD NEAR THE MOUNT PALOMAR OBSERVATORY IN CALIFORNIA ONE DAY LAST WINTER

OUR SAND CHERRY IS BLOSSOMING

And to our good friend & neighbor Monica who underwent knee surgery this morning we send all our best wishes for a speedy trouble free recovery.  As I type this Monica I am looking over at your house where tall pine trees are basking in evenings twilight glow.  Not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse & I know you will be happy to return in due time to our quiet little 5 Seasons Park right here near the sunny serene shores of beautiful Lake Huron:))

SPOTTED THIS LITTLE PAINTED TURTLE IN THE PARK’S POND THIS AFTERNOON

GROANER’S CORNER:(( The Priest said, “Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until directed to do so. ”  Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before the Priest said to her, “Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for 5 years. You may speak two words.”Sister Mary Katherine said, “Hard bed.”“I’m sorry to hear that,” the Priest said, “We will get you a better bed.”  After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was summoned by the Priest.  “You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine.”   “Cold food,” said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in the future.  On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister Mary Katherine in to his office. “You may say two words today.”  “I quit,” said Sister Mary Katherine.  “It’s probably best,” said the Priest, “You’ve done nothing but complain since you got here.”
