I think I’m allergic to children five and under. Isn’t that awful!? We went to Florida the last week of February and spent several days with our granddaughters. Dear Husband was the first to fall, but we both came down with the same upper respiratory gunk that our littlest grand daughter had. It took weeks to get over it.
Saturday, we attended a first birthday party for one of my great nieces where there must have been easily a dozen children 5 and under, and Sunday we were with two five year olds and two one year olds. Monday…..I started hacking. Do you suppose I’ve been living in too rarefied air these past few years? You’d have think I’d have picked up some bug when I visited Elegante Mother in the nursing home.
At any rate….I’m having my pity day, and tomorrow I plan to get on with my life. It’s a gorgeous, sunny day today. It started out a little gray and just kept getting better as the day rolled on. We are expected to go from the mid to low forties to SEVENTY DEGREES by Friday…and then back down to the forties. My daffodils won’t know what hit them!
I have pots of Johnny Jump-Ups (mini Violas) to plant. Frankie selected four inch pots of purple and yellow flowers and used squares of plastic cut from a pink plastic table cloth, with pastel curling ribbons to create wrapping for the pots. These fresh little flowers graced the tables on Easter. I plan to transplant them this week into pots for the front entryway.
I’m SO glad that taxes are over. I’ve mailed those that have to be mailed, and provided e-forms for those that need to be sent electronically. I’ve even made the first of the estimated payments, and noted when the rest are due on the calendar! We’re cooking with gas! It’s good to have that nasty chore done.
I hope you have all made it through Tax Day unscathed, and can enjoy the beautiful Spring weather!
