I usually call my husband if a bird has to be put out of its misery. We went from a beautiful spring day of 55 on Friday to 22 degrees and snow falling for the past 2 days. I am sure Spring will never come.

They come in droves however when they are migrating back again and strip holly trees and bushes of their berries. You'll literally see hundreds in your yard. Saku, you look like a million tucked in your Mom's blue and white stripes out there on the sun porcgh. That is the prettiest color combination she could ever have picked for you. Oh, I mean, for the porch.

I had one hit my windshield at 50 MPH. I went back to get him and put him on my car seat as I was working. Not too much later, he flew to my finger, I stopped and let him fly away. Amazing. He also pooped on me in gratitude. <br />That is an enjoyable book. Anything Fannie Flagg writes is good. <br />Yikes, glad our gas isn't that steep. $3.85 here.

Weird. Maybe it's the new variant of Omicron that's making the rounds; I think the rapid antigen test is hit and miss on Omicron and the new Omicron sub-variant. In any case, it's good you're fine now. And if it was a variant of COVID, well, you'll have extra immunity now!<br /><br />So you're sending us the winter temps we'll be having until the latter part of next week? Thanks...not. :-) Your brother is a hardy soul, for sure!<br /><br />BTW, gas was up around $1.80 per litre here earlier this week, when I happened to notice the cost as I was passing by on the bus. It's likely a good thing I don't have a car.<br /><br />I hope you'll have a successful outing at the thrift store (or stores). I was tempted to go to V. V. today, or maybe Talize, but I had other things that took priority. Another time!<br /><br />Take care.Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-46579109743853808082022-03-26T11:43:34.711-06:002022-03-26T11:43:34.711-06:00So glad you are feeling better.
