Whispering Horn

Hi Everyone!

I am writing this on Sunday evening as usual... with a big welcome to March in my heart! Told February bye with love.

Was a ordinary week. Very busy at work. Mostly just coming home and not doing much of anything else.

The weather is beautiful. Temperatures in this area of sixties. Sure makes spring even closer.

This morning while I was outside, I heard the familiar honking and looked up to the sky and there were two huge formations of Canadian geese and they were headed north.

When I was a teenager in upstate New York, we lived on their migratory path. I remember the entire sky would be filled with the V formations. Thousands and thousands of these incredible birds.

One of my daughters, Mara, lives in England. With WhatsApp, MarcoPolo and the internet in general we have daily contact with one another and its so wonderful!

Every now and then we have a virtual Tea Party, with a live video and we each have our tea and just talk. On Saturday, our tea time lasted over an hour.

I had my phone set up on its tripod and I sat at this spot with her right on my screen, in her spot.

We have decided to set this as a monthly tradition between us.

I am such a homebody. And it's hard to get myself out and about sometimes on the weekends. I really wanted to go to Ollies. I hadn't been there in a long time. The weather was beautiful and I had a full tank of gas... so there were no excuses.

I only picked up a few items but really enjoyed walking around the store.

Drove back home in the beautiful sunshine and took a short nap.

Spent the rest of my Saturday doing some housework, scrolling the internet a bit, watching some favorite YouTube channels and then I started watching the show Eureka again. Only a couple of episodes per day tho.

Woke up very early Sunday morning.

Spent some time organizing my journal and art stuff.

Had my coffee out on the back deck in the sunshine.

Then decided while I was out there, to go ahead and clean it up a bit.

I have a bunch of cardboard that I was going to burn but have decided to take it to the dump instead.

I knew that I should not put off my grocery shopping trip that I needed to do because when I do that on the weekends, then I have to do it after work.

I drove to town and went to Wal-Mart as my list was quite long.

A couple of my favorite purchases....

Duplin wine is my favorite. Bottled in North Carolina.

But I also like Arbor Mist blackberry wine... so........

I adore the blue throw pillows for my couch.

Also bought those blue placemats at Ollies on Saturday.

My favorite color is red, or literally any fall color... but for some reason I am drawn to blue lately so I am going with it.

I hung my bird feeders higher in the tree outside my living room windows so the deer couldn't reach them. Any birdseed I put in the standing feeder is gone and I know how much the deer love it.

On Sunday afternoon, I looked out the living room window and front door and I had some afternoon visitors. They are always all over in the neighboring yards and my back yard but they were right up next to the house. There was a little guy and he kept returning to the standing bird feeder, which I had not filled. He would look up into the tree at the hanging bird feeders. Hope he doesn't work too hard to reach them. I would have to place them higher then.

Lots of little chickadees all over this afternoon and many other small birds.

Frankie stayed right at the storm door watching them.

According the the weather forecast, the temperatures are going to hang around all week.

Work is going to be very busy with month end closing and I will have to make a trip to take the trash off after work tomorrow.

I plan to walk down at one of the parks in the closest town to me on Tuesday and Thursday. They have a beautiful walking track. You can also head through the woods and there is a path along the creek that runs through there.

My set up.......as I write this blog. I have a large dining room table and one end is the computer space. I have a spare bedroom but I don't like being cooped up in there. So I choose this space.

My journaling and art has been moved into my bedroom. I have a small table and chairs in there.
