LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW....Today I see SPRING! The sky is blue and the sun is bright!! Current temperature is 74* This is what I call a nice, spring day. Yesterday our temperatures reached 90* Unheard of for this early in the year! Sure hope this is not an indication of summer to come.
AS I PONDER....
I am still harboring a "big" surprise! It's probably not going to fulfill the hopes of 'many' of you out there in blogging land but it is huge to us here at my house!! I will share with you all as soon as I can!
WHAT I AM LEARNING...
I am still learning all there is to learn about creating altered books. I cannot wait to get started on this process. But for now I will just keep learning!!
WHAT I'M READING....
I am reading in a dark, dark wood by Ruth Ware. So far I like it. I am also continuing with my other daily reading selections. I stopped listening to the book I was listening to. Just not enough time in the day!!
WHAT I'M WATCHING...
I am currently watching Press Secretary Sean Spicer hold a briefing follow the FBI director confirming that YES Russia was involved in the 2016 election. Let the deflections begin!!
WHAT I'M HEARING...
I am hearing the washer spinning in the other room. I will soon need to transfer clothes to the dryer. That is my goal for today.....laundry!

A peek into my week...
This week I am catching up on some chores here! And getting ready for a road trip soon to Oklahoma to see family. This will be our first trip away since Richard died. I think we are due!!
A final thought...
Isn't it wonderful when spring finally comes? I love having the windows open and a cool breeze blowing through. I do NOT love having the A/C turned on. Is anyone planning to see Beauty and the Beast??
I want to see Beauty and the Beast, too.
ReplyDeleteSpring came to Maine, too, it was 44* and sunny today!
LOL! If that is what you call spring. I would love to come visit Maine though. But not in the winter!!
DeleteGN and I went to Beauty and the Beast on opening day at 8:00 a.m.! I had my windows open a bit here today too. It was about 55° when I did that, but the fresh air was worth it! Yea for your road trip! You have the car to do it! Harley is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am thankful now to have a good car to take a trip with. Thank you for the compliments on Harley. She is a beauty for sure!!
DeleteI am not seeing Beauty and the Beast, not because of any controversy or boycott, just not enough hours in the day to do it all. How fun with the road trip! I know what you mean about running the air conditioner, was hoping for more days of not running it. Oh well. Looking forward to hearing news when you can share it.
ReplyDeleteBetty
I understand Betty. I am thinking of taking Harley. Might do us both some good!
DeleteNo windows open here, yet, but spring is coming. Have a great trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne!
DeleteHave fun on your trip. Enjoy the weather.
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz! We will!!
DeleteHi Paula - sounds like you're busy and ready to spring into Spring - and yes enjoy the preparations for that trip ... and the fun photos you get from the kids ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI am ready for spring, for sure!
DeleteIt's cold and damp and foggy. And speaking of opening windows, mine are filthy. I am waiting for a warm day so I can wash them.
ReplyDeleteOh my windows need washed too!! Yuck Hate that job!
DeleteI hope to see Beauty and the Beast but will need to wait until it is available on NetFlix. We don't go to the actual movies anymore. Too hard for my husband. Miss that.
ReplyDeleteWe might go while we are on Spring Break!
DeleteBeauty and the Beast has always been a favorite of mine, as a child. The absolute best was the disney Beauty and the Beast animated. The music everything. I fell in love with the Beast. I won't see the new movie because I am loyal to the other one and I don't like remakes - It would be like going to see the remake of Gone with the Wind - Ain't gonna happen
ReplyDeleteYes, the animated is great. We also saw it preformed at Walt Disney World. Loved it!!
DeleteOklahoma! Don't they have tornadoes there? Hang on to your hat!
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! We have tornado here in Kansas too Susan!
DeleteDang, I wish I felt comfortable enough to open the windows at night. 'Always concerned about break-ins or (more likely) one of both of our dogs hearing something and barking up a s***storm in the wee hours.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of dogs. Is that, perhaps, your big surprise!? Your blog friends could even throw you a cyber puppy shower!
I guess I am just too old to keep worrying about such things. What will be, will be! No a dog is NOT my big surprise!!!! OMG that is not about to happen for now. It's hard enough to take care of a teenage girl. I don't need to throw a dog into the mix!! LOL
DeleteIt's strange to hear of your temps in the 90's. Here we finally went above freezing and may see 50 degrees later this week. Nice you have a trip in the future. Here I'm just trying to settle into my new place. That seems enough for me for now...It's going to take awhile.
ReplyDeleteIt was strange for us too. But nice!
DeleteI'm jealous of your warmth! We had some warmth but it went away. Tonight's low as back down at freezing.
ReplyDeleteMy latest drink of choice is chrysanthemum tea. My tea connection in the local market kept recommending it each time I stopped by, and finally I gave in and got some. Then I looked into the health benefits and I am hooked!
Do the seasons coincide in China? We are back today to being more cool! I am not much of a tea drinker!
DeleteI'm anxious to hear more about your surprise and I'm excited about your trip. You are way overdue.
