A VERY TIRED KELLY HAS HERSELF A RELAXING DAY

 IN A FEW WEEKS ALL THIS GRAY AND BROWN WILL BE TURNING GREEN:))

It was Kelly's first morning walk with Pheebs in over a week.  Despite feeling tired when they got back Kelly said it was nice to be out walking in the fresh air again.  With sunshine overhead, no wind, and morning temperatures at least above freezing for a change, Pheebs and I didn't waste any time getting ourselves out into the countryside to our walking spot for a skip up the road and back.  With a number of outside 'to-do' things on my list we headed straight home after our walk.

 IT'S GREAT TO BE OUT WALKING ALONG OUR QUIET COUNTRY ROAD AGAIN

 LOTS OF NEW SPRING SMELLS NOW THAT THE SNOW IS GONE

Hooked up the utility trailer to the Jeep and took a couple big piles of pine needles to our Park's recycle yard.  I also turned our outside water on and blew out the carport and front porch deck with the leaf blower.  Burned up a load of stuff in our burning barrel and did some more yard raking.

THE FIRST OF TWO TRAILER LOADS OF PINE NEEDLES TO PICK UP

AND THIS IS WHERE I UNLOAD ALL THOSE NEEDLES

Checking the 14-day weather forecast I was able to determine only one night ahead slightly below freezing so that told me it was finally okay to turn on the outside water for another season.  Will I de-winterize our little Class C Winnebago??  No, not for a while yet.  The left turn signal on Scooter is not working so it's probably a bulb.  I tried to figure out how to change the rear bulb but I finally gave up.  Even managed to lose 2 of 10 screws.  Par for the course for me.  I'll just have to stick my arm out the window when I plan to make a left-hand turn.  Might have to go to the Canadian Tire store and get an arm extension though.  I  think they have them on sale next week:))

 THIS TRAP DOOR IN OUR FRONT DECK LEADS BELOW THE UNIT TO WHERE  I CRAWL UNDER AND TURN THE WATER ON

 THE ROUND RED VALVE I TURN THE WATER ON WITH IS LOCATED NEAR THE TOP LEFT OF THAT SILVER FOIL WRAPPED VERTICAL PIPE

Kelly stayed in and had herself a well-deserved relaxing day.  She felt tired after her morning walk with Pheebs and that tiredness stayed with her all day.  The correct wording for Kelly's liver disease is Primary Biliary Cholangitis.  The name was changed from Primary Biliary Cirrhosis to Cholangitis because too many people associated the word Cirrhosis with alcohol.  Kelly's liver disease is now classed as Stage 4 Compensated.    

 EVEN THE SHADOW COWBOY DROPPED BY THIS MORNING AND CAME FOR A WALK WITH PHEEBS AND I:))

GROANER'S CORNER:((   A passerby noticed a couple of city workers working along the city sidewalks. The man was quite impressed with their hard work, but he couldn't understand what they were doing.  Finally, he approached the workers and asked, "I appreciate how hard you're both working, but what the heck are you doing? It seems that one of you digs a hole, and then the other guy immediately fills it back up  One of the city workers explained, "The third guy who plants the trees is off sick today."

He really loved her but he was just too shy to propose to her. Now he was up in his years and neither of them had ever been married. Of course, they dated about once a week for the past six years but he was so timid he just never got around to suggesting marriage, much less living together.  But one day, he became determined to ask her the question. So he calls her on the phone, "Judith?"
"Yes, this is Judith."
"Will you marry me?"
"Of course. Who's speaking?"
