Thursday, March 31, 2022 Mostly cloudy Windy Cool 65 Degrees 4:28 p.m.

The last day of March, 2022! Another beautiful day, but not as warm as yesterday and quite windy. the wind was fierce last night, blowing down trees and scattering things around from place to place. Here we had no damage and I didn’t hear the wind, nor the rain. Tina said that she did and that it was blowing hard when she came home from work. We had to go out this morning so saw some trees that had blown down. I know that the lights flickered several times and I had to reset a couple of clocks. It is spring and the last day of March. I guess it is going out like a lion. Sure hope April comes in like a lamb.

Today they installed the chair lift for the stairs. It is nice and I am very happy to have it. that will help both Tina and I a lot, though she thinks she will continue to climb the stairs for exercise. We shall see. I know I won’t be so worried about my leg giving out when I am going up or down the stairs. Falling isn’t one of my favorite things to do.

The birds have been out and dining at the new bird feeders like they are gourmet. There is a young cardinal and a red headed, red breasted smallish bird that I can’t find a picture of . It is pretty. I guess I will have to expand my bird knowledge and buy another bird book for this area. There are so many different birds. Someone commented that there are different birds because of the tornadoes and storms in different areas. That could be. They all blew in and like it here. There is a lot of nest building going on..

Have a great rest of your Thursday. Make it a thrifty, thankful, trusting, truthful and fun day.

Wednesday, March 30, 2022 Sunny, Clear, Breezy Beautiful 75 degrees 7:36 p.m.

A beautiful spring day here in East Tennessee. It seems like all agreed as the birds were out in full, singing and flying around, eating from the bird feeder and searching the grass for worms and seeds. Dogs were out walking their people, who stopped and chatted with neighbors, making the walk more about the people then the dogs. All seemed to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful day.

My neighbor came over this afternoon and we played Yahtzee until just a bit ago, She goes back to work on Friday so the afternoon games will have to end for awhile. She works at Walgreens but will soon accept a position at an assisted living home for people who have memory problems. She will have a drive as it is in Knoxville. That and the fact she is returning to the University to finish her degree will keep her plenty busy.

With the warmer weather Tennessee is waking up to all sorts of entertaining and fun things to do as well as places to go. There are stage plays and Farmer’s markets; Day trips in the Smokies and trips to the aquamarine in Chattanooga, ball games and bike races. We are planing a few day trips, one being to the Art Welcoming Center outside of Williamsburg Kentucky. It is a fascinating Amish cultural center with wonderful things to buy, make by the Amish. Tina wants some more TOE JAM. It us really good. It has a mixture of three or four fruits. No toes. We want to go to Chattanooga to the aquamarine also. We shall see how the time and he days off go. He work schedule is so confusing.

Have a great rest of your day. Make it spectacular, productive, special and fun
