When I woke up at 6:15 looked out my bedroom window, there was snow on ground, I'd say 2 inches
I wore my winter boots as I went for a very short walk around the apt complex, temp was 30
My close friend, Marcia is picking me up along with another church member attend our 10:30 church service.
The rest of my day,read local paper, talk with my brother If the weather has improved,I may take another short walk this afternoon
 

Remembered to put my clocks forward an hour late last night . Most of my clocks are radio controlled and don't need manual changing but my bedside clock and kitchen clocks both do...
It's Mother's day today.. I got an E -Card from my daughter and a 4 minute phone call this morning ( she's busy) .. and not forgetting the surprise 55 pound mirror she had delivered to me last Thursday...

I'm still trying to keep my back steady and keep the pain at bay .. today I've stripped down the cooker hood, and cleaned the filters, and also cleaned the drain in the bath and shower of all the hair and soap scum * ugh* ..but otherwise nothing noteworthy..

It's sunny now, at almost 4 pm .. but most of the day it's been semi- foggy... 55 deg f

You mean like when you can't see the TV screen? Like when you can write your name on an end table? Like that? Yeah. That's when I dust, too.

I also dust after pollen season...around mid- to late-April. When the yellow stuff isn't sifting into the house any longer...

I have a strict policy - it's ok to write your name in the dust, but not the year.

@Pepper So sad about Max, but nice that the two of you can go for a last walk 🐈‍⬛

@hollydolly I dunno if it will work for you, but walking has always been a big help to me when my back is hurting. Don't mean a brisk hike! Just a leisurely walk (walking also seems to improve my posture, which in turn improves my aching back).

I made a large pot of chicken-free (vegan), chicken soup a few days ago, but DH & I are hankering for more so I'll head to the grocery store this morning for more celery and Italian parsley. All other ingredients are already in the pantry, fridge or freezer. We have a busy week ahead so a pot of already prepped soup in the fridge will be more appreciated than usual.

We're hosting our DD's family's chihuahua for a few days, and starting Tuesday we'll be doing some regular (3 days most weeks) childcare for our adorable 3-1/2 month old grandson. DS has Fridays off and DDIL has Mondays off.

Full-time infant childcare runs in the $500/week neighborhood! No idea how people afford it. So glad we're able to pitch in. 💜
 
Well. I put on sort of but not exactly nice clothes and went grocery shopping with DD. It has turned into a nice day even if on the cool side. I made myself mow the lawn and then reseeded a couple of spots where the grass isn't growing to my liking.

And I sat on my duff a good bit, too.

Tomorrow there's a trip to the garden centers. I need just a handful more grass seed and will get the smallest bag there is. There may be a few bedding plants calling my name. If so, they'll come home with me.

Well good for you, I joined you with those nice clothes. Not exactly pristine in a Sunday best suit, but given our glorious weather of late, a sports blazer and straw sun hat was just the ticket to take my lady, (ladies?) out to lunch.

The reason that I wrote ladies is because we call the vintage MG: "Jessica." She was our carriage to the restaurant.
We were all photographed many times so keep an eye out on social media and you might just see us accompanied by some remark.

I have been looking up how to say things in German. My Granddaughter is in 5th grade and learning german is one of her subjects. Things are really different today than when I was young. We didn't have to learn a different language until High School.

Try "was ist denn los?" In casual German it means "what's going on?" but literally, it's "what's loose?" The answer is "Alles was nicht angebunden ist" meaning "everything that's not tied down"! LOL
