The rains, they came and kept us inside while the birds and the squirrels ransacked our stores of bird seed. I had intended for it to attract a wide swathe of colourful birds, but instead the lone grey and black squirrels found the stash first, and some Robins and Starlings cleaned us out quickly thereafter. No cardinals, no finches, budgies or much of anything else came to the supplied feast. Two morning doves made a brief appearance but it was a pretty drab affair. My monster sized black birds didn’t come down for the seeds either. They seem to prefer kitchen scraps from my compost pile. Can’t say I blame them, loading up on seeds seems like hard work.
Let us hope that the sun comes out today, and we get a break from the rain. I guess it almost being April means we’ve got to get used to the rains coming and keeping us all cooped up indoors where it is dry & warm. Hard to get May flowers without the requisite April showers. I know the average restaurant or bar is praying for a warm and sunny, mild April so that they can open their patios asap, and get the warm weather drinking started along with the arrival of baseball season. Opening games start as early as this week. 162 games is a long time. That’s a hefty season. I feel like too much can happen over a season that long. They could cut it into thirds and it would still be a tonne of games. Just make each one important, instead of the last 50 or so. That shortened strike/lock out year was awesome. Fewer games, and each one mattered. But I don’t need to fill an arena, or pay staff and a team of multimillionaires.
Lazy Sunday with a make up Gymnastics day today. Gotta recoup all the missed extra curriculars while we were bed ridden with Covid last week. My internals don’t feel quite right but I feel as though things could have been a lot worse, so I’ll make due, and will try not to over exert myself, or cause undue stress on my body for a few more weeks. Not looking to spontaneously pop my clogs any time soon for the sake of “normalcy”. Running and vigorous physical activity can take a back seat for a little while longer.
May take the kids to a movie today. I thought that Super Mario was out already, but not until April 5th. So we’ll check out Puss n’ boots or Mummies or something along those lines. But that’s this afternoon’s problem. This morning I need to focus on breakfast and gymnastics!
