Friday, April 1, 2022 Sunny Windy Cool Beautiful 57 degrees 6:40 p.m.
Spring has sprung here and it is pretty. The temperature is on the cool side but other then that, no complaints. All the birds seem to be returning to the Bird Condo, eating at the various bird feeders and enjoying the beauty of the season. Our cats, Sierra and Milo, are enjoying watching the birds, wishing that they could go out and join them, or else we would open the windows and let the birds in. Neither is happening.
Friday, the first day of April, The first weekend of April. I wonder how all will handle the April Fool’s day and the weekend? There is traffic, the parking lots are full and I believe the hotels and restaurants are already packed. We have one place here that has live music and the parking lot is nearly filled. there are a few hardy people who are thinking about going up to the mountains but I think were discouraged as there are three wild fires burning and people are being evacuated. One is on the Tennessee North Carolina border, in the Smokies, one is in Monroe County, in the Smokies and I am not sure where the other one is. The Wear Valley one is very close to Gatlinburg which is close to Pidgin Ford. The kids on Spring Break are not happy campers as they were evacuated. They were having to stay in a shelter. I think the big one, 3700 acres is about 40% contained. Am not sure about the other ones.
We have no big plans for the weekend. I always like waiting and seeing what events come about. I think we will go to Clinton and visit Dottie one day. I know that Tina has a doctor’s appointment early Monday morning so will be going to Knoxville then. What exciting events await us?
Today I caught up on the laundry, The chair is wonderful as I was able to get all t he laundry down, then took it back up, one load at a time and got it all put away. I can hold the basket on my lap and go up or down. It sure saves the knees and legs, believe me.

Have a great rest of you day and a wonderful, restful, exciting and fun weekend.
