It was hard to have Kelly and Chase leave this morning. But I’m EVER SO GRATEFUL (as Grama Violet used to say!) that they come up so often and spend time here. I love it! Last night (Thursday) Autmn, Noah and Cameron came for about half an hour and we had fun with them, too. Cameron is such a ham and loves to pose and smile for the camera any time! He sure loves his cows and duckies!
Cameron loves sitting on the chair!
Almost always happy!
And speaking of animals – we saw our first robin of spring (well, almost spring) yesterday morning! It’s hard to see his red breast but there were 3 or 4 playing in the yards. And the black bird was identified by my camera as a Common Grackle. Never heard of one but it was beautiful with deep shiny blue and purple feathers.

Grackle?
When we came downstairs there was a note on Chase’s brown bear (or whatever it is!). He needed the seam in his back sewn. So I preformed surgery and the operation was successful. All is well. Two emergency stitchings in less than a week! I need to raise my prices!! 🙂
The note Chase left the ‘surgeon’!
The note the ‘surgeon’ left Chase!
I had a follow-up dentist appointment to make sure my gums were healing properly where the bridge will be. All is well. And while I was waiting I had a beautiful ‘view’. I wouldn’t mind being there for real.
Doesn’t this look delightful?
My step-sister Barb posted about February being Skunk mating season. Kathy copied it and sent it to me! It was an interesting read! I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt – but I haven’t seen it except for that one time last Thursday.
It was sunny and bright most of the day but very windy. My weather app on my task bar says rain/snow ahead. Ugh. I did get a chance after the dentist to be outside for about an hour. I swept the patio stones and part of the driveway, pulled dead vines on the hill by the house, and pulled some dead branches out of the lilacs by the fence. Now I’m itching to get outside for real and clean up! Come on, spring!
Pulled the dead vines out.
Pulled a bunch of dead branches out of here.
I’m listening to Dan + Shay and Brad Paisley Christmas Albums while I work. I haven’t watched TV since Tuesday evening! I don’t think I missed anything – and if I did it wasn’t as fun as being with my family.

TODAY I am thankful for family time!
