Spring finally arrived today after a month of Summer! Most of March and April the temperatures were 90+ degrees while today---and he said it with a straight face--the weatherman said we were having a 'cold wave' with a high of 83 degrees and a cool breeze from the ocean plus low humidity!


I haven't been doing too well with the grow kits I got at The Dollar Tree so I decided to get two more and see how they do. So far of the 6 kits I bought 4 are doing well.


I took a walk along the canal this afternoon and spotted a bird with a strange colored beak which I will have to find out about and another school of minnows which seem to be all over the canal.


I don't know why, and I never asked, my health insurance company gives me 2 boxes of frozen dinners plus cups of juice, fruits and some bread, which arrived today. Not complaining but I have so much food in my freezer I am going to have to do some eating!


On top of that--in the interest making room for the recently arrived food--I had to eat the pasta with huge meatballs and sausage that Cathy made for me. Though we don't often listen to our mothers I always remember the command, "Clean your plate or no dessert!". Sometimes life really gets rough!
