We’re having a ‘False Spring’ starting today. Hit 45, I think? I can feel my Spring Cold coming on - which usually hits me around Easter, but is ahead of schedule.
Yes, I’m all full of Zinc and extra Vitamin C - took a nap today, which is very unlike me. Ugh! I’m not ready to surrender quite yet!!
My PLAN for tomorrow - into the 50’s! - was to tear apart the greenhouse and make the modifications I’ve been working on. May or may not happen but I’m thinking positive! You only get a False Spring once a year!
We usually get another snow dump during State Finals for Boys Basketball which will be in March. I’m always concerned because they’re crossing the state in bad weather in those stupid school busses!
If I DO get this cold, I have a week to get over it before our BIG EVENT of the Season, The Pecatonica River Valley Coon Hunters Club Banquet. We picked up the trophies the other day and my Emma Jolene is the Big Winner again this year. She’s pretty much aging out of the sport, though. She’ll be 10 this coming Spring. She was in the first litter of pups that I raised, so she’s special to me.
Beau has been testing out a few new coon dogs, but so far hasn’t found one that he’s willing to buy. All of our current home-grown batch are trained on black bear, so they think hunting coon is a waste of their time and talents - which it is.
Mama don’t raise no Dummy Doggies, LOL! :)
Hit the Vitamin D hard, in addition to what you’re doing ... 20,000 iu for a couple of days.
Weather wise, 40’s tomorrow, 54 Saturday, 40’s & rain Sunday, then warming up for next week. Hopefully, the rain will help get rid of the snow.
Tomorrow, mom & I are traveling about an hour away to a vineyard for a Valentines luncheon. The place has several ‘venues’ ... we’ll be in the Irish Pub. Food is catered & should be very good. This should help diminish the somewhat depressing case of cabin fever I’m dealing with.
Saturday, if it gets into the 50’s, I am getting in the shop & trying to at least straighten it up, perhaps even get some serious organizing & cleaning done.
Sunday afternoon we’re going to a high school play. My cousin (3rd) is a Junior & has the lead. After church, we’re taking a ‘picnic’ sort of lunch to her grandmother’s, then will get her grandmother to the play early afternoon.
We had a nice surprise earlier this week ... notice from the mail carrier that there was a package, but no safe place to leave it - driveway situation kept her from getting to the house. When mom picked it up at the PO, it was a box of homemade cookies from our neighbor at the lake. He’s sent us some baked goods before - super nice guy & keeps an eye on the cabin for us. The cookies are GONE already :-)
