@PeppermintPatty - I had the exact same experience as @Pinky! And, like Pinky, haven't had any problems since.

I saw a Robin,
out my window, today;
But instead of the ground,
It was on the feeder tray.
I told him to go,
and find his own worm;
But instead of flying off,
He remained there, rather firm.

I LOVE biscotti. Yummm. When I had my own baking business I made 4 different flavours and they tasted great with coffee. What a lovely breakfast. Your coffee and baked goods pictures always have medrooling! Lol
Edit: I didn’t make 4 dozen types.
I made biscotti once. It was almond something. It was good I should try again. Didn't know you had a baking business, PP. You are certainly versatile.

Good morning, everyone! Well look at that, would ya... our Kaila's a poet! Very nice, Kaila, and I could picture that robin and you trying to shoo it away to a worm buffet. 
Enjoy Saturday, K-Posse. I'm off to the store as always on Saturday morning and then I have plans for a quiet weekend.

Good morning all. Snooker about to start so just a quick hello. I went to Aldi at 8 am then down for my weekly newspaper. Breakfast pots are washed and now the settee is beckoning.
Pleased you are feeling much better now @CallMeKate and back to your normal self.
@PeppermintPatty - love the name Rosco, the first thing that came to my mind was the DJ Emporor Rosco. I remember him from my teenage years so I won't forget your lovely dog's name.
Enjoyed your poem @Kaila! Here's wishing you a good day today.
Got to go.... I'll be back.

Morning Kfam!
Getting ready for another thrilling day of work.
Weather will be too nice to be cooped up inside but whatever. It's not like I ever spend any time outside anyway.
They said there was a chance for rain yesterday but, I don't think we got any. We've had a couple bed bug rooms this weekend so far. I got one cleaned yesterday but the other has to sit til Monday when Orkin is called.
Have a lovely and relaxing Saturday!
I forgot all about May Day yesterday so this is a tiny belated!
Happy May Day!

So you try and police the bird feeder too?I saw a Robin,

I do that and my husband just laughs at me.
Then again, he usually laughs at me. He claims I’m entertaining.

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 
The day has gotten ahead of me again so, I am popping in whilst having dinner, before shower and hockey with husband.
Oh, bummer news: husband's trip to Florida is cancelled. As it turns out, the airline he booked with went bankrupt last night and cancelled all flights. Spirit Airlines. It's actually kind of a blessing in disguise though, because husband experienced a muscle spasm overnight and his back is mostly out. He can walk around, get what he needs, etc., but won't be able to work for a few days.
So, now he'll be home for a while (which suits me fine ), and will likely plan a Florida trip for the beginning of next month.
I loved your poem, @Kaila; the imagery was really well done.
@CallMeKate, happy shopping!
@Pam, hope the Snooker was fun.
Everyone, have a nice Saturday evening.

I had planned and hoped to go outdoors, today, but instead of the weather I thought was forecast,
It was very cold and rainy...
.....very cold..... and very rainy.
Yikes.
I guess I was looking forward to a little time, outside, even more than I'd realized I was.
Maybe as sort of a reward, for the rough week. Ah well.
As it is, My sleep was thrown off, last night, so I was extremely low functioning, most all day.
I just managed to bathe, and the hot water felt good, so I'm a bit rejuvenated.
I hope you've all had a good day.

So sorry about your husband @Medusa. Hope his back clears up soon. Snooker has been excellent, so very close in both semis. I normally go up to bed around 10ish but I just had to see the outcome of the second semi last night and stayed up until after11.The final starts today but not until 1pm so I've got a bit of time to myself this morning. Might get some jobs done.
Sorry your sleep hasn't been good @Kaila, fingers crossed that last night was better.... it really does make a difference having a decent sleep. i find that decent weathr also helps and I hope you get both.

Good morning, Kaila & Friends! Sunday once again... and a cold one. Yes, it's May 3rd, but I do believe someone forgot to send Mama Nature the memo. It's 37 degrees right now! Keeps up at this rate and I'll be writing about snow in July!

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.
It's going to be a full day today and I didn't want to miss seeing you most awesome peeps so, I'm popping in really early. Lucius' first walk isn't for an hour so I've got lots of time to dress, makeup, etc.
Husband and I are actually going to watch a hockey game live this evening. It's the last one in the Tampa Bay V Montreal series.
@Kaila, hoping you had a better night and were able to get some sleep. And maybe get out to the feeder today; I know that brings you joy. 
@Pam, glad the Snooker has been good!
It's cold here too! It's going to be a heavy coat day for the walks.
Wishing everyone here a warm, peaceful Sunday. (Coffee helps with that. )

Hello, valued friends, 
I got a little more sleep last night than the previous one; not enough, but I'm thankful for that.
Today was still quite cold, and breezy and grey, but not as rainy as yesterday.
And I really did need to go outdoors for a brief dose of fresh air, so I did.
We managed 1 load of laundry, which is always an accomplishment.
Tomorrow, I shall try again at the therapeutic pool, and see if the session is adjusted enough for me to manage better.
I'm thinking of each one of you.
I enjoy reading your posts here, and I appreciate the caring support, so very much.

Good morning @Kaila and co. Pleased you managed a little more sleep, even though it wasn't quite enough. A little is better than none. Hope your pool therapy goes well. Wishing you all the best.
I went to eldest son's last night for tea. We had a good laugh because Rocco more or less ignores anything they say to him. Son's partner decided to put this to the test and called him over, he just sat there. She then asked me to do the same. I asked him to sit and stay, which he did, then I walked to the other side of the room and asked him to 'come'.... and he did. My son then tried doing the same thing but Rocco ignored him.
Just call me the 'dog whisperer'.
Although it's Bank Holiday, I will still be having him here today but not until 11 ish. Snooker final continues at 1pm so I will take Rocco for a walk as soon as he gets here then we'll settle down together on the settee.

Thank you for explaining it here, in order for us to enjoy it too, Pam, in addition to you and your family.
It also caused me, today, to remember how much our dear RadishRose loved all of your posts, including the updates of your days, and pictures of Rocco, as well.

I'm back from my try-again session of the aquatic p.t. at the therapy pool.
The therapist had talked with my regular physical therapist, and therefore my water session was adjusted differently today.
It was still challenging for me, but more within what I can do and tailored to what I can benefit from.... so I will hope to be able to continue with it.
I'm glad I'm giving it the college try.
