i am NOT complaining!
here it is the 3rd of may and i have my heat on. this is our 4th day of gloomy weather! i am NOT complaining - i remember how i was sick of the contant sun and heat of florida. well that problem is solved for sure!
the most thrilling thing here is the arrival of the birds to our backyard. :happydance: i am very excited as i already have had a hummer come to my feeder. i think he is an early arrival - they travel solo - but he has been snacking faithfully each day. i also have a pair of cardinals,a pair of sparrows who appear to be quite smitten with each other and numerous gold finches. i am hoping - don't want to be greedy - that later i can attract baltimore orioles and maybe a carolina wren. i love watching the birds and am thrilled that we found a home where thet will come. now that i no longer have to rush off to work each day i find myself taking my cup of coffee back to bed each morning and watching the bird antics. :coffee: this is a small but very lovely side to not being able to work post stroke.
my grandson, connor, will be two this month and here we are back in the northeast and able to be part of the celebration. :happybday: he is develpong quite a personality now and his favorite expression is: "i do". now my only concern is, in a moment of (i don't know what), i volunteered to make his birthday cake. my daughter said he loves elmo - so elmo it is. years ago i took several cake decorating classes but that was l--o--n--g ago. now i find toast challenging. well, i have a couple of weeks to figure it out but already my stroke brain has kicked in and i am TOTALLY focused on the project. i drive myself crazy -- i have to remember to have fun with it not go bonkers over it.
monday i go to pick-up my new afo and i am hoping my ribs and such have healed enough to return to the ymca and water stretch class. so life goes on and i hope spring has begun to touch each of you.....kathy
