Ah, April!

And perhaps a harumph for some April weather!

We have had some lovely warm, sunny days here.  Today it is 46, and sunny again after two unpredictable days of weather and some high winds.  Friday there was rain in the forecast starting early morning.  Golfer and most of the other guys did not go out to the course.  It didn't rain until very late in the day.  Needless to say, they were all disgusted with the weather people.  Saturday the forecast was for just a slight chance of a shower late in the day.  Golfer left for the course and about ten minutes later called to say he was on the way home, being poured on!  Today, even though it is cooler, and breezy, they are all out playing!

Our family in Ohio has four inches of snow!

I will be heading outside with my grabber and big bag to pick up small limbs, branches, and mess in the yard.

I've been doing some odds and ends around the house and keeping up with things.  Golfer has been going to PT.  We've been going to the "Y".

Everyone at Nurse J's house has been sick with strep at the same time.  She said to stay away.  I said call if they needed anything at all, I could leave it at the door.

Boxer and Bloomer are on Spring Break this coming week and are going to a swim camp.  I know they will have fun, they love the water!

We haven't heard anything this past week about the mortgage refinancing, but should hear soon since they said a mid-April closing.

I'm hoping the high wind has knocked most of the pollen out of the trees.  Whenever I clean the porch and patio I raise a yellow cloud of dust, and then sneeze for a hour or so.  The pollen seems unusually heavy this year.

Here's a recent picture of the cherry blossoms on Canon Boulevard.  Gorgeous!  But I'm thinking that after the high winds, they don't look like this any more.  This picture was in the recent Newport News newsletter.  I used to take my own pictures of them, but with all the construction in the that area the places where a person could safely stop and take pictures have gone away.


Life is good!  Stay safe!
