Snow,Sun ,Snow, Sun...

COLD!

Happy March to all. March is not generally not the most beautiful month in Vermont but at the moment we still have lots of snow and it's white. March is generally brown - dirty brown piles of snow, dirty muddy dirt roads, dirty brown piles of driveway (if you have dirt drives as we do)plowed up onto the lawn or edges of drive; if lawn is visible, there are dirty brown leftover leaves and muddy patches - in other words - the Green Mountains have a slight brown tinge to them. Blech. I think the only thing to look forward to in March is the flower show if you can't manage to leave for a week or three. March needs flowers.

So I had a fine birthday this past week - I got beautiful flowers (sorry I didn't take pictures while they were fresh)- they certainly brighten a room! We'll be moving the furniture around again since we bought two new semi-disposable couches for the living room. Why buy a love seat or chairs when the room can handle a second couch? These leather boys can go back into the den where they belong and one den couch will finally head off to the dump. the poor thing has seen at least 20 years around here - cats and dogs and rabbits and pigs (guinea as well as pot-bellied) and probably if full of stuff we can be thankful we can't see with the naked eye. Besides, who the hell would be stupid enough to look at it any closer - Go Away Dateline, I'm just not interested. (you know I can't even think about using the glasses in the hotel rooms anymore without seeing them get a personal washing from me)

So 59 years old....I have entered my 60th year, as someone who is still in his 59th year keeps pointing out to me. I don't mind one bit. Nope not me. It's better than the alternative, ya know. Yeah, my hair is grayer than it was but I found some shampoo that makes the gray hairs softer - I'm rounder than I was but I figure who wants to sit on a bony Grandmother, my knees and ankles creak sometimes but they still get me where I need to go so I guess I have very little to complain about physically. Mentally? Ha...I can't believe I'm 59 so I must be delusional along with being somewhat easily detracted (see earlier post) Go ahead, tell me a joke, yeah, I've probably heard it before but I won't remember the punchline until you get to it again and I'll laugh just as hard the second third and fourth time...probably the 59th as well - ;-D

So what else is new...hhhmmmm...Knoel barfed up a hairball yesterday. Yeah well, it's not something HE does very often or else at least not in the house - That's ~Elmo's trick. The bad news is there was a gross round worm in it - the good news is I was able to get topical medication to put on the back of his neck instead of trying to squirt liquid into his mouth. Knoel is a very loving cat emphasis on cat; loving is on his terms. He can and will turn into the Tasmanian devil if one tries to pick up hold him against his wishes topical meds works for me. ~Elmo get the pleasure of receiving the medication too...eeeww, worms. No, I did not take a photo - it's gross enough I am telling you all about it.

Moving right along....my Costco had Wii bundles for sale yesterday and Easter Candy.

Have a good weekend all........

Why, you don't look a day over 50. I'm glad you had a good birthday.

I heard you guys got snow up there. Why not send some down to me? I could use a day off.

DA
