I seem to have so little to say lately anywhere. April already – time just dissapears and every day is about the same. One thing – Yea! the sun finaly came out and the temps are rising for the next few days. Another teaser for what late Spring early Summer is to be. A reminder that the world is not always cold, cloudy and brown outside my windows haha.

The other day I took advatage of a break in the rain nad went outside to see if anything was going on yet in the garden. While the front main beds still look so sad the one alongside the house surprised me

a few of the Hyacinths there were blooming – very week and scraggly looking, but still a burst of unexpected color. Also some of the Grape Hyacinths were showing their pretty faces.

These were growing in a crack in our sidewalk next to the flower bed.

I have virtually been housebound for so long now my legs are telling me they need to be exercised more, but I have no interest in going and doing anything for them yet. Just have to walk around the house more I guess. My one knee really is giving me some pain and I am not sure what is causing it. I also seem to have developed a corn on the other foot and it hurts to put pressure on it or wear some of the shoes I have – a new experience for me never having had one before. OK that is my whine for today

We had a bit of a scare too where Elmer is concerned last week – he bought himself a new hedge trimmer and just had to try it out and clean up some of the neighbors hedge that had overgrown our fence and looked ugly. An hour later he came in with pain in chest and left arm, his color was awful, and he could hardly breathe.  Scared me no end, and he will not see a Dr. for any reason. Gave him an aspirin and asked him to please just relax. He slept for the rest of the day and most of the following day, but seems OK now. He probably will not be happy to know I am even writing this for anyone to see, as he does not like me to tell anyone at all when there is something wrong. Puts me in a dreadful position all round – I feel helpless and can only worry myself sick and keep a close eye on him.

Needless to say I immersed myself in the donation areas of FB and could not concentrate on much else.
