Winter Wonderland

Bah,Humbug!!!
In my last post I wrote of Spring. This morning I woke to find the ground covered with snow and the air full of swirling , blowing snow flakes. This does not look like Spring to me. If I wanted snow I would move back to Manitoba where I came from.

Birdwatching

Even though I live in an apartment building, I am sort of a birdwatcher. Every day two crows visit a tree in the parking lot that my dining room looks over. One day there was only one crow and he looked sort of sad. I was wondering if crows mate for life and his mate had died.. But both were back the next day.
A pair of birds alit the other day. I could tell that they weren't crows but I wasn't sure just what they were. By the time I got my binoculars focused, they had flown away. While enjoying my morning coffee, one landed on the tree. Quickly my binoculars confirmed what I had thought they were the first time I saw them.They are robins. Can spring be far behind when the robins come back?

Life is Good.

I felt like I was suffering with that disease they call SAAD. First we had a lot of snow. When that stopped we got torrents of rain. Finally sunshine was predicted but the fog set in first. But not so bad that one couldn't see to get around. My sister came for a visit, we played card games which she won, we went for a couple of walks. We ate well, and enjoyed an after dinner drink.
Today the fog lifted and the lovely old sun is beaming down at me. I should go for another walk but I have done all my errands for now, and no reason to leave my nice warm home.

The worst of winter may be over. The sun shone nearly all day and sunshine is predicted for the next six days. I did my volunteer work today. I help shop for groceries for seniors and Shut-ins. I think it is funny that I help "old people" because I am one of them myself. Three hours of walking the grocery aisles at least gives me a bit of exercise.

What am I doing ?

I don't quite know why I am doing this. I already keep a daily journal in an actual book. I don't really need this as well. Thanks Betty.
