Another Spring Day

-

 Well, with temperatures near 75 degrees today, it looks to be another spring like day here in the Midwest. As with all the other days with temperatures like this, we are to have a cold front move through and it is to turn much cooler tomorrow with highs in the mid 40's and possible wintery mix on Friday. 

It has been nice to do some work outside though. I added some solar lights to our front flower bed and I cleaned some bird feeders as well. I put new suet cakes out for the woodpeckers and other birds. I rearranged some of the outside décor and just tidied things up a bit around here. It seems as though winter has given us so much wind that many things are out of place and need to be cleaned up.

I have enjoyed the new chicken coop quite a bit and look forward to spending time watching the chickens once we get our bench set up and we get my office, which will be near it completed. I am more than ready to move into that office! 

I planned to do a Happy Homemaker post today, but it just did not seem to happen. Maybe next week. My grand daughter was sent home today with what the school believed to be pink eye, but the doctor says it was just an infection. I am happy about that. Lots to do, so I better close this for now.

    Love when the weather cooperates and things can be done outside. Hubby has been loading up our Green Waste can every week for the last 3 with trimmed branches off the redwoods that are totally out of hand. Big job but it looks so much better. Now if it will stop raining so we can get to the weeds before they get too big and dried out..there's always something for sure.
    We have the "promise" of another storm coming in this weekend. Need the water but, I sure am over it.

    Always nice to get outside and get things done. We've had 2 days of rain so far and more predicted for tomorrow but I keep thinking how wonderfully green everything is going to be soon. Hope your granddaughter's eye isn't bothering her too much.

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

I decided to start with the first book in the series and I will read the entire series again this month as long as time allows. The Boxcar Children is about a group of 4 orphans that are siblings.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
