What's on your agenda for today?

I'm up. That probably means that my eyes are open, too.

Spring doesn't arrive until early this evening. Does that still make it the first "day" of spring?
 

Went to the gym this morning. Missed the eclipse because it was too cloudy although my O/H got a pic at home as there was a break in the clouds.

watching Hell on Wheels on dvd this morning and soon will be off to Flint to pickup one of the granddaughters who will be spending the night with us.....good times ahead....oh a stop at the comic shop will be in order as well
 
Wife took me to PT this AM. Appointment was for 7AM, so, after dropping me off at home, she could be at work at 8:30. Getting up at 5:45 isn't the easiest thing in the world for her to do, but it is for me. Yep, those old farming and military days really helped me to be able to get up early. Most of the jobs I've had in my life, I've had to start at 7AM.

Anyway, Therapist told me and her that I'm doing fine with the exercises and getting my percentage of ROM up each time I go to PT. Was very glad to hear that.

On the news here they always say the 1st, not the equinox. Can you really say summer doesn't start until June 21st and winter Dec 21st? Starts long before that.

There is meterological and astronomical first day of a season.

That's good CR!
 
Well it's been a beautiful sunny day here, azure blue sky and not a wisp of a cloud, it was glorious and really warm too, it was so nice to go out without a jacket on for the first time in months.

Decided it would be a good idea to go and get all shopping to ensure the fridge and freezer are topped up ahead of my surgery on Monday, I have no idea when I'll be mobile again.

It's gone 5pm now and it's still lovely and sunny , and as I drove home through the village it looked like I wasn't the only one enjoying the warmth of the first day of the Equinox :D

Yes I can.......on my desk calendar for this year it shows the following dates.......

20th March...Spring begins

21st June.......Summer begins

23rd September.....Autumn begins

22nd December....Winter begins.

That is what I have known and believed in my 72 years and I shall carry on knowing and believing that.

I don't know of anyone that refers to 1st March as the first day of Spring, as a matter of fact this morning when I went to the shops, instead of being greeted with the usual 'Good morning', I was greeted with..'Isn't this a beautiful day for the first day of Spring':)

Sounds lovely! That your mode of transport tied up to that post? :D
 
Love the pictures, Holly

Still reorganizing my bedroom, have to do it in baby steps so I don't injure myself, would be real easy to throw my back out with just one wrong twist or trying to move too much weight in one swoop. But I'm liking how things are progressing to a degree. I still have to go through some boxes in my hall closet to find some items I'm missing, I also seem to be missing a number of pillows including to king size ones. :dunno:. Taking a break from it all for now though, I'm tired. Probably won't hit that closet anytime soon, I'm going out this weekend.
 
April I know precicely what you mean about one wrong move..it only has to be a tiny one too..and be verrrry careful bending looking through those boxes, I can't even sit on the floor and look through boxes, it kils my back...so sit down at a table and look through them if you can.

I hope you're going somewhere nice...I can't wait for the summer to be able to get out and about again.. :D

Yes, be careful. It's so easy to injure your back if you twist the wrong way when you are lifting. I use a stepladder for the top of our wardrobe.

Please note, that in the above link it mentions the Astronomical season which is what we in the U.K. have used for years, probably before I was born, at the risk of repeating myself no one I know use the Meteorological calendar.

I have heard the BBC say it is the first day of whatever season on the 1st of a month. My husband has been using the 1st of the month all of his 66 years of living in the UK, and so does everyone he knows.

Give it a rest.

Ladies thank you for the concern, I try to be very careful, I know what happens if I'm not. I sit in a chair when I go through the boxes and forget about sitting on a floor, that just ain't gonna happen. LOL. I have stools placed in every room to reach for items place up high.

Holly, Sat, I'm going back to the club I went to a couple of weeks ago, I'm going with a different group of people, but it should be another fun night. I'll try to get some pictures again. If you ever make it out to Sarasota, I'll be sure to drag you there. :D

There's one particular lady the visits back and forth from the UK, that is a member of my other meetup group, she and I always end up dancing together at these events, she is such a hoot.
