Some excitement.......

As I sit down to write this, some of Lulu and Buster's friends are walking by and they're very excited. No one thought I actually had any excitment, right? I'm so ready for spring and am really going stir-crazy inside. The dogs have wanted to sit outside the last couple days, which is a good sign that spring is around the corner. It's been sunny and warm enough (mid 30s?) for them to hang outside. Our walks have been pleasant because the sun is so nice to see.

I might order some seeds for a garden. I'll likely just grow something on my deck as I did last year. I'll have to get something attractive so Thomas doesn't keep moving them. He did that last year because he thought my tomato plants were ugly. I'm thinking about getting some colored swiss chard from http://www.seedsavers.org/. I think red mildweed flowers as well. The swiss chard will be pretty and edible.

Perhaps I can write more later. I did take pictures last week at Jill's house during the celebration of Mom's birthday. Likely they're mostly dog pictures. I was trying to get a good shot of Buddy. I did see Mom, Jim, Jill, Elise and Leah on Friday night. We met at a Mexican restaurant. I didn't talk much because it was really loud. At least we were all together.

I think I sound a little whiny and ungrateful so I'll work on that. I'm really trying to be grateful because I think when you are, everything else falls into place.

Until later..............

I say to myself every year long about August, "I wish I had planted zinnias!". Hopefully this will be the year. If I could find plants, that'd be great. I have bad luck with seeds.

Personally, I don't like loud restaurants, either. I'm not loud by nature, and I hate to feel like I'm yelling when I speak.
And now, I understand Mom saying "turn down the tv", lol.
