I never did go back to bed yesterday – stayed up until 10 before giving in. The sun did finally come out yesterday afternoon although by then, I was too entrenched in the blue funk for that to pull me out. I’m a little better today. I have absolutely no reason for being down. If it’s not weather related, then it must be post vacation blues. I don’t know — I’m crazy I guess.

Judy sent pretty pictures of her spring tulips yesterday. It seems that all my tulips have been eaten as none have come up. The irises and hostas and day lilies are, although only the irises are blooming yet. I don’t expect to see hostas and day lilies until late May or early June.

I’ve neglected my garden terribly. It’s in desperate need of weeding, and SOMETHING. Starting all over again. I’ve thought about putting azaleas under the windows and some kind of low holly in front of those since I cannot seem to keep the Bermuda grass runners out of the garden area and it overruns most anything else I plant there. I need to go buy a new hummingbird feeder as mine bit the dust when I brought it in for a final cleaning after the last bird left for the winter. The early birds will be showing up anytime now and I don’t have anything out to feed them with. 

Got pix messages from Gina where the kids got their Las Vegas t-shirts. She can’t take a picture for anything in the world, but at least we got something that the kids received the shirts (and they at least are not too small, so maybe they’ll have them to enjoy for a few months). Eddie said Randy got his t-shirt, but we haven’t heard from Chrystalyn or the Charleston group.

Got an email from Ma saying she went to the Doctor’s yesterday for her quarterly exam. She said he spent more time with her yesterday than he ever has before. Wants her to take pain pills for her back which, of course, she’s objecting to. Just take ’em when you need ’em, Ma. Said the nurse called her to report her blood work looked good and that a written report would follow in a few day.

Well, I think I need to close this out and get back to work.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Love to all,

Margaret
