Winter to spring


Forsythia 2008

Wow! It cannot stay winter forever, can it? Minus 12º Celsius (10ºF) this morning and a high of 1.6º (35ºF) for all today. Normal is -0.5º(31ºF) and 12.2º (54ºF).


Male rufous-sided towhee 2008

The rufous-sided towhees have returned from their Florida wintering vacations and are in the process of changing into mating colors. There are a lot of birds singing and calling of the mornings, but it is too early for nesting.

Carolyn is down to two employees plus herself, and now she as a fierce head cold to make her more miserable. I hope she is better by Saturday because I promised to take her on a picnic. The temps are supposed to be around 70ºF (21ºC) and the skies are to be partly cloudy. We both need a break.

When we are forced to move from our little abode, we may wind up in an apartment. House rent is reasonable right now, but we do not need the hassle of having a lawn to mow, etc. Of course, apartment rent prices have been on the rise, and we may not be able to find anything suitable within our means. Whatever it takes to have a roof overhead, we will do.

I gave up my Twitter account; I need to stay as anonymous as possible for the time being.

The crazy weather has caused me to be sick for several days.

Hopefully you will not have to move to an apt. You are right about rents rising. Landlords taking adavantage of the mortgage situation.
