Spring Snow Storm

 Well, We got a Spring Snow storm and it was a good one !!  we got between 5 to 6 inches of wet packy snow, Great for Snowmen and Snow forts and with it inbetween we got an inch of snow and rain on the rain Gauge !

.

.
The back yard now instead of Green is ow White covered with over 5 inches of snow,
.
.
We had visitors in the back yard, here is a picture,  of 2 of the 7 deer wandering around feeding on the new fresh Grass !
.
.
Settled in for the Snow Day I hunted up last falls Gourds I grew,  They are small but I think they will be great for the small Wrens looking for a nest !  So I got to work in the Basement !
.
.
I got out the "DREMEL", it has been stored for about 2 years in the Case and it was all right,  fired it up to work on the Gords, they are fragile but sturdy once opened !  The last Gords we got in Myrtle Beach lasted years !
.
.
I got to work on the 3 Gourds !
.
.
Very gently I cut the circle for the entrance, and cleaned out the paper like material and the seeds !    If you plant these gourds it takes the seeds over 3 weeks to germinate and start to grow I saved all the insides of the 3 gourds and will plant them soon inside !
.
.
"Tipper" had to sit get confortable and watch me while I worked on my Project !
.
.
Done with the 3 Gourds ! All the holes are 1 inch, this way it keeps the Sparrows out of them !

Duck Feet

 WoW,  We have gotten some Rain,  we now have gotten 1 1/2 inches of rain in last 2 days that shows up on the rain gauge !

.

.
One good thing about the Rain is that it dissolved all the Crabgrass Killer I spread !!  It was a nice sunny day but a very Bitter Wind and cold,  I wore my heavy shirt outside and also in my Office at the Legion this morning while catching up on some paperwork !  It is Election of Officers this Month and Installation of Officers in May and Once again I have been nominated for Historian and Public Affairs Officer!
.
Right now at 1945 hours it is clouding up and can see some rain drops on the sidewalk !
.
Sadly My wife's Aunt June passed away in Okeechobee yesterday, passed in her sleep while in Hospice, she was 85 years old !      Nice Lady and always treated us well !
.
.
Lunch was Pizza, Black Beans and Rice and Root Beer,  Later it was a nice couple hour Nap in my Recliner in the Sunshine !
.
Hoping it starts warming up soon, We are waiting for the Barn Swallows to show up as thats usually a sign warmer weather is coming, we do have some yellow dandelions which means the Bullheads are biting !

Spring has Sprung

 Well, here is hoping that Spring is here finally and warmer weather and sunshine is just around the corner with some nice sunny days to enjoy !

.

I have been on some new Medications and 1 I am just finishing up with tomorrow my last Pill for a while and the other Medicine was a Breathing Treatment that caused more problems than it helped,  but, all things considered I am doing Great !

.

.
Got in the Garden Shed, hooked up the Battery on the John Deere and put the key in the ignition and the Old Girl fired right up,  drove it outside and around the lawn then got the mower out and the Spreader out !
I spread about 25 pounds of "Crabgrass Killer" and fertilizer on front and back lawns !
.
.
Nice being outside with just a T Shirt on and some Sunshine !
.
.
My Honey out getting some yard work done and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine !!!
.
.
Nice to be outside finally after a long Winter !
.
I have had to cut down on watching too much News and World Events as it was causing me some undue Stress but it is another "Repeat of the Past" !      We need to Pray !
.
.
.
.
Pray for our Military !
