Another cool, windy, sunny/cloudy spring day in East Tennessee . The pollen is creating problems for people with allergies. Today is trees, grasses and weeds causing the sneezing, runny noses and itchy eyes. Other then the runny nose, I am fine. That is normal for me as I have had a runny nose for years. I do feel sorry for those who are suffering with the allergies, having to go get shots and are miserable. I still think I should of invested in the Kleenex company years ago.

WE bought the dark purple grapes last Saturday so have been nibbling on them throughout the day. I love them and they are healthier then cookies and candy for nibbling. Cosco had five pounds for $7.89. they go good in salads, Tina takes them in her lunch, and I nibble on them during the day. Sierra thinks they are fun to bat around if she can find one that has been dropped. All healthy.

Tina filled the bird feeders Sunday and the suet is already gone. We decided to not put any more suet out as it attracts the starlings and they eat it all and create a mess in the process. So that feeder will be put away until winter. I think that is when they should go out anyway. To feed the birds during the cold, story winder days. ???

Bill said that his hummingbirds are back so we will have to get out hummingbird feeder out. They are so pretty. They draw the butterflies also. WE put a tightly wrapped cloth dipped in dawn dish detergent around the bottom of the hummingbird feeder pole to keep the ants away. it works, believe it or not.

Quote or the day: “THIS IS A RULE FOR WOMEN THAT HAS NO EXCEPTIONS: if it has tires or testosterone, you’re gonna have trouble with it.” My calendar

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a bountiful, plentiful, peaceful, pleasant and fun day.

Blessings

Monday, the first day of the work week and the first day of the fifth month. It is the 121 day of this year. I must say, so far this year has gone fast and has been filled with events, both good and bad. That is life.

Today will be a short blog as I hit my toe and or side of my foot and now it is turning a purplish blue, I guess to match my jeans. It is also starting to swell which is making my shoe (flip flop) feel tight and hurt a bit. I think this is a situation that will call for an ice pack and the foot up. The recliner should work, at least for a bit. Sierra will appreciate the lap when I get in the recliner.

Weather is cool and a sweater is called for, even in the house. I miss the sun shining in the windows to help warm the place up. maybe tomorrow. i think the rest of the week will be about like today with rain towards the end of the week. We are so fortunate as our weather is perfect compared to so much of the country. No complaints.

Quote of the day: ” Learn to look for the joy everywhere you go. When your many troubles are giving you a giant headache remember that the iron crown of suffering precedes the golden crown of glory—that’s what we’ll be in heaven jumping for joy with our heavenly Farther!” My calendar

I hope that you had a fabulous weekend and a fantastic Monday. Make the rest of your day a cheerful, joyous, positive and fun day.

Blessings
