Ahhhhhhhh, sunshine on our faces today! Almost a week of rain and finally it's true springtime. The apple blossoms and cherry blossoms are in full bloom, especially the cherry blossoms are luxurious in their dark pink shades and the grass is such a deep green.

I've done wash every single day since I got the washing machine and even the bedding and blankets are done.

A couple of days ago we went to the feed mill here in town, it's rather a pricey one, ( so we don't get too much there.) and I got a shepard's hook, bird feeder, and some seed to go with the finch's "feed sock."
there's a sparrow of some kind sitting on it right now, chirping between bites of seed. The grackles have tried to sit on the feeder however they're too big for it and they get it rocking back and forth! and then they tumble down, wings just a flapping!
Next spring I'd love to build or get a wooden birdfeeder that the cardinals and bluejays could sit on. The house finches have a nest on my airconditioner and chase away any birds that come looking to steal their nest or eggs. Those house finches are mighty scrappy!

This coming week I"m going to a neighboring town to renew my permanent fishing license, then head off to a ladie's luncheon. I'm bringing hotdogs, potato salad, and he's bringing chips and my chili I cooked two nights ago. I guess I better throw some chopped onion and cheese into the cooler also. The others will bring cake, pop, buns, and whatever they want.
I hope to get some fishing done this summer. There's a volunteer group that takes disabled adults, and seniors too, on fishing trips with volunteers on a pontoon. They provide the gear and tackle, pontoon, and guides. I just have to get there! How awesome is that??!

The week of the 15th I'll be going to the dentist at the U of M Monday through Thursday! Monday will be another day of working on that lower partial to get it just right, then Tuesday the 16th is the oral surgery, all my upper teeth get pulled and an interimmediate denture goes in place over the sutures. They said it's just like a bandaid, YA...right....ok. So, then it's all downhill until??? hopefully NO MORE surgeries!!!

The plant I got at the grocery store is growing like it thinks it's a weed!! It's a Cyclamen, it did have heady dark rose red blooms, now it's just shooting straight up! Probably needs some fertilizer. My huge geranium is the same way, real leggy looking, too long on the vines, and the leaves are small. The Palm is making a comeback, finally! That dang Pointsetta looks great, needs repotting like most of my plants, wonder if I can get it to bloom for Christmas this year?

Well I've had quite a rest here now, time to get back to housework, the dishes are already done, garbage is out, my bed made, the last load of wash is done, just need to re-arrange all the" stuff" that came out of the utility room to make rooom for the washer! Most of it will go into the garage, and some into the coat closet.
I'll put my dinette set out on the patio, love to eat outside in good weather.
Have a great weekend :) oxoxox
