It's 61º here right now. We've had several days of nice warm weather. The morning I took a little stroll outside and found that I have plants coming up. I spotted some tulips, some daffy's, and even some of my day lillies. I'm so excited. It always seems so long before it actually happens. So, I'm a happy camper right now.
I spent the weekend in Illinois with ds & family. I took a half day vacation today so I didn't have to drive back on Sunday and, with the nice weather, I called in to the office and told them I was taking the whole day. It's just too nice to be sitting indoors.




I used to call those mental health days. I saw carpets of 3" purple flowers on my walk this A.M. in mid-IL. Having a brain freeze, can't remember their name. I planted snap peas and lettuce mix on Sunday, today found that the squirrels had already dug them up. Now all the spare tomato cages are piled up on that area of the veggie bed. I've spent a lot of time digging out Spring clothes/packing away Winter clothes today. We have a platform bed with 8 storage drawers, so at least I don't need to haul boxes from the basement the way I did years ago.
I'm cooking the corned beef today - it slices much easier when it is cooled down. Plus, Tues is tutoring in the A.M., then semi-annual MD visit in the afternoon. I dread his lecture, because I haven't lost a pound. It seems that I've been on a carb binge since Thanksgiving. But, this A.M. I decided to get pack on low carb plan. The cottage cheese w/blueberries and almonds was very satisfying for breakfast, and lunch was a salad with canned salmon on top. I really crave fat more than sugar, so this works out better for me.
