Spring has sprung

We went from snow flurries last week to 80+ degree temperatures today.

My car has the salty remains of the slick, snow-covered roads and a windshield covered with kamikaze bugs that couldn’t wait for warmer weather.

Some of my early bloomers burst out from under the leaves still covering my flower beds.

I love daffodils.  The lilies-of-the-valley shouldn’t be too far behind…

They think of everything

I’m sharing a funny story our daughter just told me about their 4-yo twin girls.    The twins asked her if she should write a letter to the Easter Bunny to let him know that they have a new baby as they wrote a letter to Santa to let him know that they moved last summer.  They were very concerned that the baby would be left out.

Our daughter told them that the hospital sends letters to Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny whenever there is a birth at the hospital so the girls didn’t need to worry.  Their baby brother would have an Easter basket.

I’m not sure what will be in the baby’s basket tomorrow but she was on her way out to get him an Easter basket.

Embarrassed

As I sit here on my ever-expanding backside, I am embarrassed that I have not posted much of anything recently.  After the dinner dishes are washed, I usually sit in my favorite chair with my iPad and check my email and play various solitaire games or Sudoku.

The biggest time suck for me is Pinterest.I love it and can’t seem to close the app and do something constructive such as:

  • make the gifts for a bridal shower on April 6
  • make a cheesecake for Easter
  • get our tax information ready for the tax preparer
  • knit booties for my grandson
  • knit another sweater for my granddaughter
  • felt the CCM hat I made months ago (and never blogged about)
  • declutter and clean (that’s an ongoing issue for me)
  • and burn some calories

It’s Good Friday and I have the day off.  I’m going to go and DO something.

Oh, one more thing:  Happy Birthday to my son and son-in-law.  How nice that they have the same birthday.
