Monday, March 18th, allegedly the last day of Winter, and it is a chilly one for sure. It was 28 degrees this morning when I got up and it hasn’t gone up much since then. The thermometer says 37 but the real feel is 32. I went out to pick up some branches that had come off of the trees and I got pretty chilled. Hopefully when spring kicks in at 2230 tonight, the wonderful temperatures that we have had the past couple of weeks will return. Some of my peonies were not happy with last night’s temperature and they are a little curled up this morning. But —- if the sun would just pop out, they would unfurl themselves and be well. 

How was your weekend? Our weekend was spent just like every other day since I have retired. The exception is that we attended two versions of “Recliner Church” yesterday. First we watched our home church and then we pulled up the St. Lucas service and watched that. And, we watch some Gaither music video in between the two. I just can’t believe that this coming Sunday will be Palm Sunday. I have really missed attending “in-person” worship, especially during a holy season like Lent and Easter. I know I could leave Kate alone for that couple of hours that I’d be gone to church; but —— I just won’t. I also know that she “could” go with me —— but as long as she is having to use the ostomy bag, that isn’t going to happen. It only took one disastrous accident at the doctor’s office to make that decision. So, the only place we go is to doctor’s appointments. I do go to the grocery store but my grocery trips are no more than 45 minutes. We will be so very thankful when life returns to “normal”; although who is to say we lived a “normal” life before all of this??? LOLOL. 

I had to water all of my seedling cups this morning. My little tomato plants are doing very well. I need to take the tiller or the hoe to my raised bed and get the weeds out of it. There aren’t many but I don’t want them to get a foothold either. My little garden tiller has quit so I need to borrow Karin’s. She has an electric one and says it really works well. I could get mine repaired but I have no doubt that it would cost me about as much to have it fixed as I would pay for a new one. And neither she nor I need one to do that much. So, she I and I will just share hers. 

That’s about all I have for this cloudy day. I pray you will have a blessed week. Peace.
