No sight or sound from my Spring Robin yet, but I heard a Mallard in the creek this morning. He scared O'Malley. He'll get used to it and won't be scared soon.

Oh where or where could my robin be oh where oh where could he be?

Went shopping today, but I didn't buy any Christmas presents, I bought Spring things for the grandkids instead.

What a wonderful Saturday it is today, sunny & temps in the 50's. Getting alot done on the outside of the house, & getting my flower garden ready.
Hope you are having a great day Cedar.

Have a nice week-end everyone.

I haven't seen him, but I hear my Robin this morning.

"He rocks in the tree-top all a day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' the song
All the little birds on J-Bird St.
Love to hear the robin goin' tweet tweet tweet
Rockin' robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Rockin' robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Oh rockin' robin well you really gonna rock tonight"

*****

"When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along, along
There'll be no more sobbin' when he starts throbbin' his old sweet song
Wake up, wake up you sleepy head
Get up, get out of your bed
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red
Live, love, laugh and be happy"

****

Spring has officially arrived in my neck of the woods. Yesterday, when I was coming back from the nearest Mall, I could smell wet earth and doggy-doo everywhere.

I'm going shopping again today, I need a few Spring/Summer business-type outfits.

What's that O'Malley? Yes, I can pick you up a treat.

Have a fabulous Sunday!

"the big guy''? careful Dom.. Binger and Crown are gender neutral! ( Crown is also bed neutral... which means they will climb into any one and sleep... they do not care about the make up of the mattress... they are neutral... so long as they can lie down......)

YABBA!

Yeah, remember that time Crown was hauled off by security for sleeping in a display bed at the furniture store in the Crabtree mall? I'm surprised they let Crown shop there with all those temptations.

I just came in from raking...wow..everything aches! More ice tea, and back at it.

Good day all...
Been a busy day here...Did some more cleaning up this morning and then went for a hike and did some fishing. Had a good time until the wind decided to kick up. Hope everyone is having a good Sunday afternoon!

 

[Holiday]

Where oh where did the weekend go??? What a beautiful weekend it was! I can't believe how fast it went & I can't believe tomorrow is Monday already! We spent our 1st weekend for the season out at the lake this weekend. Had a super time & it was great to see all our neighbors again. Had a cook out there tonight with my family...my hubby was the master griller...marinated pork chops, marinated chicken breasts, skirt steaks, pepper bratts...what a feast! I'm so glad this was only the 1st weekend out there for the year & hopefully there are many more just like it (only even warmer) to come!! The guys at the marina started putting pontoons back in the water today too....YIPPEEEE!! :???: Hope you all had a great weekend!!

Oh yeah...I tried a new recipe today that was a HUGE hit....give it a try sometime! It's from a dinner club in Dayton Ohio, famous for their sweet potato souffle, only this is their pineapple souffle! It was delish:

Hey all, hope the weekend treated you well. I had to work most of it but now I get a week off in transition of jobs, woohoo!!! Looking forward to some relaxation and thinking of christmas cheer!

Yeah, remember that time Crown was hauled off by security for sleeping in a display bed at the furniture store in the Crabtree mall? I'm surprised they let Crown shop there with all those temptations.

Ah! The bad part was getting them to enter "Gender Indeterminate" on the arrest record.

Good Morning!!
Crown is back------with a confession.
At the last moment, reports of bad weather for Saturday caused us to cancel our travel plans.
As a result << Crown looks down with hat in hand >> I decided to take the weekend off from board duties and return to lurker status! As such, I kept up with the goings on incognito. A little sabbatical, as it was.
(Ahem, and also got in a bit more sleep as a result!)

Dom, my friend! Thanks for a bang-up job as pinch hitter. Home runs on back to back days. You can't beat that!

Days to the Season: 220
Days to Christmas Day: 262
And on we go! Now, less than 3 weeks to the 200-day season window.
And the 1/3 Christmas Day mark is the day before that, as our friend Dom earlier pointed out.

Sure enough, Saturday was a wash out. Sunday was cloudy and wet but little rain actually fell.
Still very overcast and threatening this morning.
HOWEVER, our lake levels are now back to normal and water restrictions are back to "stage 1".
(Interestingly, our governor has stated he wants to permanently keep stage 1 restrictions despite no drought! Go figure that one out.)

Have a Marvelous Monday, guys!

Morning everyone! About 27 out right now. Looks as if we may get some rain later. Although the weatherman keeps predicting it we still haven't gotten any. Got a busy week ahead of me with work. I hope everyone has a good day.
