Cool Mornings Very Warm Days

 It's going to be downright hot Sunday but that's in advance of a front that will cool us nicely. Lots of variety at this time of year. I did my outdoor work early and it was so very pleasant. I love to work outside. Great evening on the patio yesterday, but it's too cool in the mornings for coffee on the patio. It won't be as shady this summer because I had to cut down a tree. It made me sad to do that but it was necessary. But it does look as though I will have those giant sunflowers again, maybe not as dense as in years past. The effects of our recent rain and snow were minor. I must water again. 







When one of Elmo's breed mares foals, does he say "Hottsie tottsie, more nazi!" Enquiring minds want to know. Children in my elementary school were still fighting WWII-- that's where I got that phrase, and I think it originated in wartime Popeye cartoons. Those cartoons were still used as content on kiddie shows back in the day. A local celebrity, Captain Gus, hosted such a show. Would that we had a real, live, Popeye the Sailor, with an endless supply of spinach! Popeye would make short work of Elmo, kicking his ass all the way to Mars!

Getting Better All The Time

 I did more work outside yesterday afternoon, after my session in the gym. I have various projects in mind as the weather continues to warm. The rain and snow we had was very beneficial. 







It's Tuesday morning here and in a little while I'll do my weight bench routine. I can do that at home.

Weather Steadily Improves

 We have plenty of sunshine and it is getting warmer each day. The rain has been turning things green around here. That is good to see. Measles cases in the area approach 500 and another child is dead.

Rain Friday Snow Saturday Sunny Today

 Had a bit of winter but it wasn't so bad and we really needed the precipitation. Warming again this week.
