Happy April everyone! Here in our part of North Carolina, we received our April Fool's Day "joke" on April 2nd. It snowed here yesterday. Yep. Saturday it was 72 degrees and sunny, and yesterday (Tuesday) it was low thirties and snowing. I guess I should say it was a "wintry mix" as our meteorologists charmingly refer to this combination of rain and snow. By 5:00 p.m., the sun was back out and the sky was a perfect blue. 🙃
It's still quite chilly outside here; there's a crisp March wind and I still need a coat to go outside, but it's officially Spring today. I couldn't be happier, and I'm willing to bet a lot of other people out there feel the same way.
I'm glad I planted pansies back in the late fall/early winter because now I can enjoy their colorful blooms. They're already starting to get leggy and hang over the sides of the pots; does anyone know whether these plants can be pinched back? They seem a little too delicate for that, but I just don't know.
Today, I'm sharing a few recent changes to our living room. Actually, they're more additions than changes.
Mr. Forest Manor spotted this hawk in the woods behind our house back in late fall of 2017. He put the pictures online for me, and I totally forgot they were there. I spotted them recently, did some editing, and am finally sharing them here.
I just feel like a little Saturday chat today. How about you? It's kind of a dull time of the year, isn't it? I was going to take some pictures here at the house yesterday, but when I tried to cut my camera on, the battery was dead and I couldn't find my spare, charged battery. I think I spend half of my life looking for things that I've put down and can't remember where I put them. Sigh. I have a certain spot where I keep that battery, and it beats me why I didn't put it there. Where were we -- oh yes, a Saturday chat.
Hi all! We made it through the month of January, and it was a long, cold month this year. It's 32° with a wind chill of 26° here, as I type this at 9:20 a.m. I'm pretty sure that's already warmer than it got all day here yesterday. I know that's warm and toasty compared to the Midwest, so I hope they're warming up today, too.
