A Capricous Spring

First it is hot and encouraging us to go out on a limb and
plant tender plants, then it is cold again and we have to
cover them. I did not have a decent tomato last summer so
I planted one last night with great optimism and it is very
cold this morning.

The weather is about to do me in anyway. I am living on
benadryl. The pollen is blowing around from all the trees
and is so thick you can see it in the air. I need to work
outside but am unable to stay long because it is so nasty.

My cousin and my sister are coming to see me Friday. They
will want to shop and I should buy some pretty flower pots
while we are out. We will go out to lunch and make a day
of it.

Losing Fredo? I can't bear it because he always makes me
laugh. I'll bet he will have to tell us about his trip to
Tuscany. Blog friends come and go but there will never be
another like Fredo.

Yesterday, I was busy all day. I went to the commissary and
bought a month's groceries and then picked up some reading
glasses for Ted. The commissary was so busy that I had to
stand in the checkout line for ages. I always plan my
shopping to use up my coupons and I saved nearly 50.00.
Aldi's just doesn't have the best meat or some brand names
that I really like. The produce at Aldi's is not the best.
I like the house to really smell good and after experimenting with everything available, Glade Sense and Spray does the best job. The white linen fragrance is my
favorite. By the time everything was put away, it was time
to pick up the girls and think about dinner.

We are taking Ashley and friend to the circus Saturday.
Adrienne has a band trip. We will have to think up something special for her.

Last summer my allergies were just horrible and nothing seemed to work. One of the over-the-counters that used to be prescription only even gave me hives! Then all of a sudden in August I realized my throat wasn't sore and my sinuses were clear, and my eyes weren't dry and hurting. Wonder what this year will bring, hope yours clear up soon.

The Bradford Pear tree just over the fence in the backyard is the worst of
the allergins for me. It is such a beautiful tree when it blooms that I
don't resent it all that much.

Aldi is not for everyone. There, you do get what you pay for! Luckily, I'm undiscriminating. I'm headed there tomorrow in fact. And permit me to wish you an early Happy Birthday!!!!!!!! (lest I forget or get busy). Mine was yesterday (24th). 68 years old and getting better with age. You, too, I'm sure!

I heard about the fires in Oklahoma. Are any of them near you? It has been awfully dry. Fortunately, spring will come. It always does. The pollen has been awful here too. We get pollen from the live oak trees. Awful!

No, they seem to start in grassy wooded areas. However we do have a baseball diamond in back of us. The Tinys were playing last night and it
is fun to watch. Their star was up to bat and made a good hit with all
the bases loaded and they forgot to run.

I know, I will certainly miss Fredo. I hope he changes his mind... Yes winter is holding on for dear life right now. Bleh.

When do the cherry trees bloom? I love Virginia when the flowers come out.
My aunt used to say she didn't know which was better, road trips in the
spring or fall to Virginia for optimum beauty.

Nobody has to search for conversational material when they live in Oklahoma. The weather has always done something wierd.
