Saw him again for the first time this morning, haven’t seen him since late October. I did a drive by to make sure he took off into the woods. I’m going to sit and wait ten minutes before I release the dog for our morning walk. That’s usually enough time for the coyote to make itself scarce and we can enjoy our morning stroll without any additional excitement.
Everything here on the farm seems to be turning green as expected. Grass, shrubs, trees etc. It’s a very refreshing sight to behold after these long cold months of snow. Last November I planted several hundred tulips and wouldn’t you know at least 80% actually grew! Lucky stars. Now I don’t know if they will bloom this year due to the stresses we got them under, but next year, oh boy! Should be a very colourful treat to see. A feast for the eyes!
It is Tuesday, and the mornings start in the negatives, and end in the early teens, so pretty soon it’ll be shorts weather. Find the hats and sunglasses stat! Where’s the sunscreen? Sandals or Crocs for day to day outdoor operations that don’t include power tools or the lawn mower. Choices, choices.
I need to brush out the cobwebs, open the windows, wash the blinds, and clean the ceiling fans. Let’s put dust out of our way. Funny how we can focus on the small day to day things while there are world regimes toying with dropping nukes. Oh what a world.
I’m just trying to get to Friday evening, right!?! Roll on weekends and no early morning alarm. I just keep telling myself that some day soon these kids will be somewhat self sufficient and the spouse and I can relax just a touch. Just a sleep in, together. Same room, same bed sort of thing. Some point soon-ish I hope.
