MARCH CAME IN LIKE A LAMB

 

YES indeed it was a very mild entry into March this year,

 70 degrees and the only snow seen was in piles in parking lots water 

running from them. Rains followed and birds are active and trees are trying to bud

out. Sure hope we don't get another 6 inches of snow! ⛄

 Around here I found a small water leak in under my carpet in my entryway. WHAT!?? I would not have known it was there if not been barefoot. Had two people look at it from maintenance and they shake their heads because this job is too big for them. I fear tearing up carpet and flooring will be the way to fix it. It has been almost a WEEK..many calls to the office.. They are making an appointment with a plumber is all I can hear. Meanwhile I am using towels and trying to keep the water from seeping any farther into my living room. If it was a big leak..well they would have had to get right to it. 😒💲

ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING!!

It's official I am a hoarder.. (oh..not that kind.).I am hoarding non perishable food items. I noticed the prices going up so fast about a month ago so every time I see something I can keep for a year or two I buy it. Oh in this tiny apt it's really a task to find places, but I am managing. This week I saw a head of lettuce for 3$😱😮 too bad I can't keep that for more than a week. I shop the sales a lot and changed my eating habits. Did you know that CAMPBELL soups are pretty tasty?I hadn't bought any in years but I found the CHUNKY ones to be really good after I rinse some of it off. Salt is really sky high in those but when they go on sale.. I buy especially the ones with more protein.

WELL I am aware of the tragedy in Ukraine and how the war is so bad. I try not to get upset over it. I limit my news intake as much as I can. Seeing babies and small kids being killed and displaced just is too much. I pray they will get as much help as they need to hold off Putin's army and end this. 🙏🙏🙏

MAY CHANGES..

Still getting used to the new format here at Blogger and finding that, at Chrome, it is a whole lot easier to deal with the changes.. I have to admit I don't have time to fuss with it much so easier is better. I have to keep up though..not going to give in to the establishment. Changes this month could happen quickly and I will try to keep you all posted as soon as I know what is going on. I have ventured back south in Michigan again and not sure if the north is the place for me or not. I sure do miss my little buddy a lot. He was a real cute change in my life for awhile. He does love Rachael Ray..must be her personality or her FOOD!! He kept us moving constantly and at least he slept some of the time. Tell me WHY babies choose to sleep like this..he does it a lot. Knees up, hiney in the air!! LOL




 May 1st..??? HAPPY MAY DAY!!  Wow the warm weather we had in April made it feel like it should be JUNE already. Mom and Dad's birthday's are coming up and it will be sad time for my Sister and I both this year. Mom loved flowers so we are putting flowers out at their grave site today. RED..mom's favorite..no matter what time of year..it had to be RED. Could be roses, carnations, tulips..didn't matter..she just wanted RED. The weather is beautiful here and warm today so that is a plus and we will be able to get out and enjoy the day. I heard the doves this morning and thought of all the mornings I heard them at our old house and knew that spring had truly come with them calling to each other. Nothing much else happening here..hope your MAY DAY is a great one!! 

NEW BLOGGER CHANGES

Well now, change has come again.I saw the statement that Blogger was changing in April and clicked it.. whoa...... did I get a surprise. Maybe I am a slow one to get on the bandwagon I don't know, but whether good or bad for us bloggers we must go with it . My IE browser is not supported by BLOGGER any more so I can ONLY use CHROME when entering a new post. What a hassle. I don't want to even think about trying to change my background yet. I just touched something and lost a whole paragraph so beware this new blogger set up is very tricky if you haven't changed yours over yet. Will take some time to get used to where everything is. I guess all old things must leave us and we must move with new technology. I will let you know when I find everything and how they work out. Getting to your dashboard is no easy task and so letting them know in the feedback area at the right bottom is a good idea.  

Spring left us and winter is  trying to say hello again. The furnace clicked back on and the frost was heavy this morning. Orchards are very afraid of losing their entire crops. They are going to extreme lengths to keep the trees from freezing up. Something new this year is burning those large rolls of hay along side the orchard rows to keep smoke over the top of the crop. They say that smoke might help keep it warmer. Time will tell I guess. I don't think our nights of cold are over yet. It will be a very tricky Spring here. Getting ready for spring cleaning here and organizing my closets and drawers,something about the warmer weather always makes me want to pick up and throw out the old winter things. Having the windows open last week sure was nice. I look forward to more of that soon.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE GOOD LUCK WITH THIS NEW BLOGGER SET UP..

AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD.
