THE TREE IS FULL OF PRETTY BLOOMS WE ARE NOW IN DOGWOOD WINTER

Friday, April 8, 2022 Cloudy Rainy Thunder Storms Possible 41 degrees 8:49 p.m.

A typical busy day with scattered light showers on and off, some sun but mostly clouds. I have been working on my stories most of the day. Late this afternoon Tina and I went to Hobby Lobby after canvas’s for our Ladies Afternoon of painting tomorrow. I really enjoy looking through that store and seeing all the pretty things that I have no use for. I do like the craft things they have and know that is the place to go when I need something, like canvas and brushes and paints.

Other then that it was a quiet day. I heard, and watched a police car fly by on the turnpike. I am always amazed at how brightly lite up all the emergency vehicles are here. They have lights that pretty much outline the car, truck, whatever. Not the ambulances, but everything else. And the lights are blue and white. You can efficiently see them coming an also hear them. rather pretty, I think. The school buses have dome lights on the top of the buses so they can be seen quite clearly also.

Have a great rest of your Friday and a cheerful, energetic, adventurous, safe, healthy weekend

A KOUSA DOGWOOD

Thursday, April 7, 2022 Mostly Sunny Breezy Chilly 62 degrees 6:20 p.m.

A lovely day after a stormy night. We were fortunate as all we got was five minutes of very heavy rain, and then wind, but not damaging wind. I haven’t heard of any trees being blown down or other damage from the rain or wind. We live in a very good spot I am thinking. But I brought in the bird feeders and hanging plants so that they wouldn’t get blown away and cause damage. I put them all back out this morning as I knew the birds would like the feeders back. I think they were waiting. We are very thankful that the storm didn’t do damage here.

I believe South Carolina wasn’t ads fortunate as they had tornadoes and flooding rains, etc. The southern states have really experienced a rough spring this year with the tornadoes and rain and snow. Flooding ha been the biggest problem is some areas while others have had the tornadoes. East Tennessee has had the fires in the Smokies that have destroyed buildings, including homes and businesses. The people have been allowed back in some pf the ruins to see what is left and what can be done. Some are still being kept out due to hot spots. There will be a lot of rebuilding and putting lives and businesses back together. It is sad as Wear Valley is a very popular spot for tourists as well as people who live in the area. There area has cabins to rent and a store, and restaurant, a coffee/ ice cream shop, a fabric store, hiking trails, wild life and just plane beauty. Of course, that is only one place in Wear Valley. there are many other interesting and beautiful place in the area.

The cats are reminding me that their dinner is late. Pamela has been here and we played PUSH TEN, a card game. It was new to me and it was fun. She is gone for the weekend, and then back to work so I believe our afternoon games are over for awhile. It was fun.

Have a great rest of your day. Make it a Happy, kind, Generous, and fun day and evening.

A DOGWOOD TREE ADORNED IN BEAUTIFUL PINK BLOOMS.

Wednesday, April6, 2022 Cloudy Windy, Rain coming Under a Tornado Watch 77 degrees 6:14 p.m.

It has been a mostly cloudy day with a couple of hours of sunshine. The weatherman said we are in for thunder, lightening, high winds and lots of rain. I took in the bird feeders, our one flowering pot, and most anything that could blow away and cause harm to something or someone. The birds are still out and singing . Once they disappear I will get a bit more concerned.

I am going to make this quick as I don’t want to be sitting in front of these windows, on the computer when the lightening starts. The wind is picking up and it is getting darker . I will report tomorrow

have a great rest of you Wednesday. Be safe, Have fun.

Blessings

SUCH BEAUTIFUL TREES IN SO MANY SHADES, WHITE, PINK, RED, YELLOW

Tuesday, April 5, 2022 Calm Cloudy Rainy beautiful 62 Degrees 6:21 p.m.

We had a busy and fun weekend, and a very busy Monday so I missed my blog yesterday. Saturday we picked up Dotty and went to Knoxville, shopping. It was fun but we didn’t buy much. Then lunch at Chevies and that was good and fun. The next stop was at an Amish store where we bought jams and a jar of spiced peaches that are wonderful. So good. The jam that we have opened is also very good. then to Dotty’s where we left her and came on home.

Sunday was quiet and spend mostly doing nothing. Tina worked in the am and I attended church on line. then we binge watched NICS Washington DC until news time. Bed early both nights as getting up at 3:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. tends to make bed time early.

Monday Tina had an early morning doctor appointment in Knoxville so off we went. Had breakfast after the appointment at ‘First Watch”, then off to COSCO. The morning exercise. After an hour and a half in there we headed home. Put the groceries away and took off for Home Depot for plants for the start of the garden. Then a stop at Kroger and finally home. After putting things away and I sat down in the recliner and promptly fell asleep. Woke up to eat a bit of dinner, watch a show on TV and off to bed. So tired.

Today has been busy catching up on things that I didn’t get done all weekend and yesterday. The polling count is up for cedar trees, and a few other things. there is a big cedar tree right outside and I am noticing it. I have a runny nose, watery scratchy eyes and know that it is allergies. I remember from last year. But the tree is so pretty and home to so many birds and probably a squirrel.

Have a terrific rest of your Tuesday. Make it safe, healthy, profitable and fun.
