A Beautiful Day Ahead

My Easter Lilies are blooming

The weatherman is telling us that rain is coming, but the morning dawned bright and beautiful. I love the springtime. The days get warm, but it still cools down at night. It was 68 F (20 C) when my friend and I headed out for our walk this morning. It was perfect walking weather. I wasn’t online much yesterday. I spent the morning helping the gnomes pull weeds and water the garden, and the afternoon cleaning house. I have a little more cleaning to do but it’s going to wait until tomorrow. Sunday is the traditional day of rest. After church we will eat a light lunch and then I’m going to curl up with a good book. It’s been a while since I’ve done that. I’m not good at kicking back and relaxing. There’s always too much to do. Not today.

I enjoy a "normal" Spring, but this one has been "the pits".

I'm sorry your spring hasn't been good. We've been lucky. Warm days and cool nights.

I'm reading Amanda Quick (Jayne Anne Krentz) book The Third Circle. I've read most of her books, but I missed a few of the older ones. I swung by the library yesterday.

I have found that when I'm super busy, taking a few hours off to relax isn't easy but it pays off in the long run. I'm more efficient with the tasks I have to get done.

It can be hard to ignore the various chores that are waiting. I hope you enjoy your book.

It's been a strange spring everywhere. We've only had a couple of rain showers since March. We could use it.

We could use a little rain. We were supposed to get some last night, but all the clouds did was spit.

I did. I have another one to read, but I don't think I'll delve into it today. I've got things to do.

Sounds like you were productive Betty. A lot of rain for today. If it wasn't for the spaghetti lunch today, I would've passed. I'm hoping to arrange a last minute ride this morning.

We had a gloomy few days but today not a cloud in the sky. I"m glad of that as my son is coming from Michigan to go see the Chicago Cubs play at Wrigley Field.

When I was working I would read four to five books a week. I can't figure out how I found the time.

It was great walking weather. It will be for another month or so, and then it will be HOT even in the early mornings.

The temp here is going to hit 90 degrees like yesterday. The bummer is it didn't cool off at night.

We were in the high 80's yesterday. In another couple of weeks it won't cool off at night. The humidity will start climbing as well. I'm not looking forward to that.

Thank you. They are some of my low maintenance flowers. They pop up every spring, bloom, and then disappear until the following spring.
