First round of Wintry weather is over and surprise! Tomorrow and Wednesday look like a small dose of Spring. Nothing like living in the South.......lots of variety in weather.
The big Colonoscopy is past and the report was very good....even to note another one is not necessary for another 10 years! How good is that?! Nothing unusual to report except that the doctor agreed that I probably had a bout of diverticulitis after Thanksgiving (I do have some diverticulosis, which is not uncommon for my age). Need to be more aware of my dietary habits.
Lee has been spending some of his time on these cold, Wintry days working in his shop behind the house. Now that he has upgraded his heating system from a wood-burning stove ( no wood smoke now ) to an electrical heat, he feels comfortable working on those unfinished projects left behind these past few years. One of his projects is to get his antique car up and running. I am looking forward to another ride through the country in his 1931 A Model Roadster with the Ugga horn and the rumble seat on the back. We have been know to ride to our neighbor's house, put the top down, put them in the rumble seat and continue on our excursion throughout the countryside. We try to stay in the country since the speed is usually around 35 miles per hour.
He has lots of projects that are ongoing. He is committed to all the birds in our yard and makes sure there are lots of bird houses available for their mating in the Spring. In addition, the honeybee hives are contantly in need of cleaning and repair. He has even taken to doing some woodworking for some other needed repairs. The bird feeder outside the kitchen window was in such a state of disrepair that I was prepared to discard and look for a new one. Lee surprised me before Christmas with not only a repaired bird feeder, but one with a new paint job. Looks as good as new!
As the weather warms, he plans to work on pruning fruit trees, blueberry bushes, blackberry vines and cultivating the garden. He has already pruned the muscadine and grape vines to ready them for full production in the late Summer. There are so many edible foods to look forward to this Summer because of Lee!
Today he is busy with all the work that has to be done in regards to taxes. He is gathering all the information that is necessary to take to the CPA. Personally, I think his CPA has it made.....Lee does all the work here and the CPA just puts it on the correct forms and we sign..........
Seems today I finally broke my "writer's block". I have been struggling with desire to write and to create something useful. There are many mornings or times during the night when I awaken with a profound thought about something I would like to write only to fall asleep and forget it by morning. I am going to try and get up and write if that happens again!
I finally finished the very long book "No Ordinary Time", by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Enjoyed learning all about FDR, Eleanor, Churchill, and World War II. This book filled in a lot of blanks from my early childhood.
I would recommend this book to any and all history buffs and to all "baby boomers". What an amazing time in our history!
More Later.................................Brenda
