I know there will be some backsliding with the weather, but right now it is sunny and warm. I mowed the lawn for the first time of the spring season, though it needed it a while ago already. My little mower's battery did not last the entire yard, but I may not have charged it fully. Now I have to finish today, ugh. The plans for the season: resituate my greenhouse, fix patio, add border/trim around house and around trees by house. Transplant lithodora for groundcover from front to back. I've had limited success there. To be honest, I'm tired just thinking about it, because the sinus headaches and drainage have begun in earnest. None of the current allergy meds help anymore, so the head hurts pretty much constantly and I have quite a lot of yuck in my sinuses. The cat allergy really kicks up, too, when the outside allergies encroach. I have started doing some lymphatic massage to help with it, so we'll see if it does anything. It feels nice if nothing else. I think I need to practice technique.

Curious Hank

Finally put together a little herb garden kit (sans the cilantro - I have THAT gene) gifted to me. The cats NEVER sit on that window ledge and it gets good afternoon light, so I thought it was a good spot. Haha. The minute I put it up, it was the only place Hank wanted to be. Little turkey.

I think I settled on a window contractor, they came in at nearly $10K lower than the other bid from decent company. I was happy with that, especially since I've done my taxes and got a fairly sizeable kicker from the State; really helps out, though I have saved enough for it already. I am even entertaining the idea of a bay window in the kitchen - imagining it as a small catio for the critters. They love to sit by that window already... We'll see how much it adds to the cost, but it might be worth it anyway. It's a nice little feature.

Well, daylight's burning. Gotta get to it!

This might be the most tumultuous spring I've experienced since moving here. For weeks now, the sky will open up at random times and it'll be a torrential downpour. Then it stops. Twenty minutes later, another great maelstrom... And on.

Today started out nice. See:
Hank in sun
Hank enjoying a sun spot. Oh, his face. I just want to kiss it. He hates that. I do it anyway. Kiss, kiss, kiss.

Maybe an hour later:
Hail!
It's a vid, click it to view.

The hail then got big, and has covered the ground. But not all at once. It hails. Then it stops and brightens for a second. Then boom! More hail.

Pickle in sun ... yawning
^Back to sun.

Ah, spring. May this mean that March exits like a lamb. I have stuff to do outside. ;)

But for today, the weather can do whatever. I slept incredibly poorly last night and am very tired. Every time I shut my eyes to nap, though, I can't sleep. Ugh. Age. I've heard this happens. Talk about design flaws.

Random add: what is up with the commercial with the singing hood ornament, and also those weird Jake-from-State-Farm kickback commercials?
