rain and more rain

WE had some strong storms last night and now steady rain falling. Puddles are being created and little rivers of water, cascading along the edge of the yard. The birds love it and Charlie the pheasant is wandering about without a care...The entire area is getting a much needed bath.....Mowing will follow after it all drys, and I almost, not quite look foward to that.
The golfing was fun yesterday. I always love being with Dean and Chris for a day on the course. Dinner after, at the local resturant, was good and we just missed the storms rolling in, when we made it home. I heard some places up north got hit hard. Trees down, ect. The only problem with the warmer days is......the storms come along with them...Our porch is great for sitting and watching the storms if..... they are of the normal variety...Funny thing, Our new digital programming goes in and out during clear weather, but now its raining steady and the picture is perfect!!!!! Go figure!
Im going to make my soy bread today. I figure its a good thing [ says Martha ] on a rainy day. Making bread is a kind of therapy for me, like meditating.. It makes me feel good inside. Of course if one eats too much of that warm bread, with butter running down the sides, its not that good for your outside!!!!!We all need a bit of decadance in our lives though. Just a tiny bit, don't you think? I hope your day is full of good things.....Like warm cookies or hugs from a small child....Late Ta....

Life? Fun isnt it?

Seems like just when we think we have it all figured out, we get a whammy thrown at us. Its like someone is saying....Dont get too comfortable...Life can be warm and wonderful and good, or cold and sad and not so hot. It makes one wonder why? How come things can't just stay the same? When you think about it...that would get boring after awhile, and we would sleep through life. Things have to hit us in the face sometimes, so we stay awake in it....How we deal with the adversity is the key to happiness I think. If we can look at whatever has hit us and say, Okay now lets deal with this. It won't last forever and we will get back to good days...How many treasures are in my life? How much love is there everyday? If I compare the good things to the bad, will it make the bad seem less important? How lucky am I to be part of this universe and all its glory? Even with all the stuff that angers me or hurts me, I am still so fortunate to be alive today. Today I will appreciate the good in my life and tomorrow if bad comes.....I will deal with it! I will fight for my happiness and that of those I love so much...After all.....This is all I have to leave behind when my time here is up. Sometimes when the days are long and the pain is heavy, I force a smile to my face...Then a laugh, then a song....It all becomes contageous and makes me feel better....Im smiling right now.....I love you reader....

Wed.with sun

Morning! The suns out bright and beautiful and I'm headed to the health food store later. Heard about this vitamin that helps cognitive memory. Lord knows we sure could use that! Now where was I? I have to get organized. My brain is fluttering from one thing to another. Guess a list is in order. Did you ever notice that without a list, life is so hectic? I love lists. They keep me from going insane. They organize my thoughts and help me focus on prioritys.
My list on the desk now has 2 things on it. 1. Make more coffee and 2. shower. What are the other 20 numbers for? I forgot! Seems like the older one gets, the fuller the brain gets. Sorta reminds me of this old computer. Theres so much junk in here, even defraging doesnt help. Theres always something running in the background that shouldn't be there. I'm considering buying a new pc to start all over with, but I don't think I can do the same for my brain. So off to the health food store to try this memory pill. Lets see how many gig a bites I get....Late Ta...

This and that!

Morning all....Im looking out the window at a male turkey, strutting his stuff for a few females. His Plumage is in full regalia as he walks back and forth to impress the girls. But of course they like the snobs they are...ignore him completely! We watched " Marley and Me" last night. This is the first time I actually was hoping a dog would go to pet heaven! This movie was so boring, I had to keep my eyes open with super glue. I found myself wondering why these two actors didnt refuse to be part of such trash. Okay, I will admit that the end got to me a smidge, but who sits thru a movie just to get to the end? If you like torture....Watch this movie....
We golfed yesterday, with Irvie and Nate. The weather was so beautiful and it was so nice to be out there again. I started out good. Actually ahead of the men. Had a couple great puts and not bad off the tee buttttttttt.....Got involved with a couple sand traps that made my day turn to a slapstick comedy. I whacked away but the ball kept fallihng back into the sand. Lets just say I acquired a couple tens for those holes, which thru my game off totally....It was still fun,,,, Today its bowling with Irv and ann, nate and hannah, maybe dean and chris, for Irv and anns anniversary. Id rather be outdoors but there will be other times for that. Glors home now from gaelas. Shes recovering nicely. Thank God....That was a bit scary for awhile....
Well Im outta here for now, Take care and be happy...Late Ta....

Monday

Morning all. Another Easter has come and gone. We went for a buffet with some family members and had a wonderful meal. Dean and Chris and Roo came back to the house after, and we sat and visited for awhile. Watched some Tv after they left and then went to bed early....Today is overcast after a week of sunny days...Walter Horbans wake is today at 4.
Im happy today that the Navy seals shot those pirates, and saved the captain of that ship....Its about time we acted like strong people, and not let those terrorists[ thats what they are after all] win.... The captain was a brave man and deserved heroic measures to get him back.... We watched the movie, 'Doubt" Saturday night. I thought it was a good movie but the acting was superb....I found myself hoping the priest wasnt guilty, because I really like that actor and it seemed like he was just trying to help. Nough said, I dont want to ruin it for others....Good movie though....Because of Easter I'm a day late taking it back, sooo they will charge me again. Oh well, it was so worth it...
You all have a great day now... Late ta...

Monday in PEETSVILLE

Good morning all....the suns up and the birds are feeding. The finches are bright yellow now after a long winter of off brown colors....Did I mention that a week ago, I saw two canadian white geese? They were floating on the cranberry marsh. Beautiful birds.....I also saw our friendly male pheasant just off the highway. I saw the reason he hasnt been around of late....Yup, he has a mate now. Hopefully soon there will be little ones following along behind...
.Sleep is still illusive for me and its robbing me of my humor... I need a switch that could shut off my brain at night...I dont like being crabby and needing a nap every afternoon. Sleep perchance to dream...please......
Well Id better get my act together. I DO have things to do today and sitting here in my robe is not going to do it....Ryan might come over later to make my Incredimail work....You all have a great day...Late TA...

snowy wed....

The recycling truck just flew by which means I FORGOT TO PUT THE STUFF OUT! They come once a month for petes sake! Now it will collect out there for another month.! Its snowing lightly out there and that just about makes me crazy. Sheesh! April 1st and its still winter....
Tomorrow I'm going to Plover with my friend Rita. We,ll go to Kohls and eat lunch and stuff. I want to find something nice to wear for Easter. Hopefully the weather will clear and be a bit more springlike....I sure enjoy her....
For today I'll clean the porch and perhaps my closet. I really should make sure there isn't an Easter outfit way in the dark cavern of my closet, that I've forgotten about...Who knows what lurks way in the back....Most likely a size I no longer can sqeeze into....
Whatever your day brings forth, I hope you enjoy it. Give some love to someone along the way..Kiss a kid, pat a dog, scratch a cat, pr just for the heck of it.........hug your partner real tight....Late Ta!!!!
