It is quiet around here but I have good excuses

Finally have weather warm enough to work in the yard, our yard is full of sticks and leaves so I've been raking and burning, weeding and planting all with an eye of putting this old farm house on the market next year.

When you have lived in the same house for forty years you can imagine how much stuff we need to get rid of and how reluctant my husband is to part with any of it!! I have been taking things to the road while he is on the golf course and it is amazing how quickly it disappears!

The orioles and the grosbeaks have returned and we are enjoying them while working outside.

I heard from an old friend this week who asked if I could contact a friend of hers whose daughter killed herself in January, I said yes of course but it's hard to do long distance....she lives out of state but get's back in town frequently, I wrote to her and invited her to meet the next time she is here. She is awash in guilt....~sigh

Looking forward to two of our daughters coming home for Mothers Day, wish Bizi could join us but we'll get to see her this summer. She sent me a lovely plant....wish I could remember how to post a picture here but I can't.

Strange article in the paper yesterday..about healthy eating could be a disorder called Orthorexia nervosa. Wish they would make up their minds about what is and isn't good for us!! Eggs. yes/no sugar vs sweetners...olive oil in a dark bottle only. ~sigh

Hugs for the room...got to get outside.
