CHEERS TO THE WEARING OF THE GREEN

Thursday, March 17, 2022 Sunny A breezy spring day Sunny 72 degrees 5:26 p.m.

A beautiful day, on the warmish side, with a slight breeze. The birds are out and I do believe starting to build their nests in the Cedar Tree, The Bird Condo. Mr. and Mrs, Cardinal have been busy around here eating and picking up bits of twigs and such to do their building and remodeling . they are very busy. The blue jays should be arriving soon to build their summer homes and raise their family. And, of course, other species of birds who come here to spend the summer with us, living in the bird condo.

Today is the “Green Day” The city of Clinton has received a gift of a $26 million dollar spiral park from one of their citizens. It will take a year to build and cover several acres. That should be something to visit and see. There will be trails for hiking,and biking. Boat launches and other things right at the Chinch River, a dirt bike track, and, of course tables and hopefully restaurants and gift shops. It all sounds like a great place will be close for all to enjoy.

Tomorrow, after a beautiful day today, we are going to get rounds of rain. That means rain coats and umbrellas as well as puddles and pools. We have doctor appointments in the afternoon, but they should last a total of 30 minutes. Tina is getting cortisone shots in her neck and I am getting them in my back. Now, all we will have to do is behave and not rearrange the furniture or something dumb like that. At least for a week or so. I am usually the one who does the dumb things and mess up the good work the doctor does. When one feels good and like being 21 again, one wants to act like that. The mind is willing but the body says no, no, no.! Time to start my spring cleaning!

Since Tina had the swing shift today we will celebrate ST. Patrick’s Day tomorrow and have the corned beef and cabbage. I always look forward to that meal. this evening I will watch the clogging dancers and whatever else is on TV regarding the Wearing of the Green. The Irish people seem to be always cheerful and full of mirth, songs, dancing and good ale. I guess I should also mention Irish Whiskey.

Have a supper green day with all the great Irish Blessings bestowed upon you.
