Today looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. If all the allergies would clear up I would love to be outside working in the yard and getting all the Winter mess out of here. Instead I will be taking the car to get a face lift at the body shop from hail damage we got in Florence during the tornadoes, and buying some groceries. Can't forget that Kelcy made me promise Chinese food for lunch.
But beginning today I can really start some projects I have been putting off for a long time. I can get the living room ready for a new coat of paint. I have a new comforter and curtains to hang in the bedroom. Checking on getting a used stove installed that will be bigger than the one I have now. I want to get my hair done in a color I have never had before but think I will really like. If not maybe I have the guts to pull it off like I really don't care when people stare at it. I want to get the pool and deck sold and moved out of here and maybe get at least a couple of trees cut down and a built up garden area built. I know I'll have to wait a little while for the veggies to get put in but can't wait to start on that either. In the meantime I'm going to start Spring cleaning on the house and get the stale air out and the fresh air in. This usually means a trip to the doctor in a few weeks for shots and antibiotics and some time for me to stop hacking my head off. I have no idea why doing the things I love to do in the Spring tries to kill me. Maybe if I say enough prayers this year God will show the germs another place to light instead on me and my family. Not asking for forever just one Spring.
I think I got in this mood when I went for a walk with Alyssa Saturday before we left. We just walked and talked and looked at all the pretty houses and the birds on the streets up there aren't scared of you. We were standing in touching distance of a blue bird and it just chirped and hopped around. Easter is in a couple of weeks and that is when I usually start looking forward to the prettiest weather. I know it has snowed here as late as April but I am holding out hope that doesn't happen again for a long, long time. But I have to admit the weather has been strange this year.
I wish I could learn how to post a picture on here so you could see just how pretty it is outside. But then again with all the brown leaves and dead looking limbs, maybe I'm just seeing the potential it has right under the surface waiting to bust out and show everyone else. And that's ok too I hope me and mother nature have some of the same ideas. I know I have been seeing her work in a different way lately. Excuse me but I think I just added one more thing to my to do list.
