Good Morning!

I don't know about your garden but here in mine, the weeds, grow where they feel like it and take over rows and all.  You have to admit the dandelion has a special place in our hearts.   We can find out if 'he loves me, he loves me not'  and make it  turn out just fine.    Spring is showing signs of coming early so maybe we will have a few dandelions to surprise us.

To those of you who are sick and tired of hearing the same old, same old words about down sizing;  cheer up, I've used them all up.

The ride over to Lone Ranch beach yesterday was timed to enjoy some sunshine.  It didn't last long but while there was a break in the clouds our Emma had a delightful run on the beach.   The pathway is a bit muddy right now, thawing, I would guess.  A lot of tiny buds are coming out and some of the wild purple flowers are already blooming.   A man was walking his two dogs on the beach and one of the dogs loved walking in puddles.   It kept returning over and over walking through the water oblivious to the waves rolling in.   Speaking of water, I had a beautiful picture of Lake Tahoe but it didn't come up when I tried to put it on the blog this morning.   It must have been taken by a different type or style of camera and not everyone works.    I was amazed at how high it was and the caption told the story.  Over 16 billion gallons has been added after the two huge winter storms of last week.   It must have been some storm , although I had no news from up at the Lake.   I talked with son Michael and found out the ranch was hard hit, several horse buildings, fences and all kinds of damage from the ninety mile an hour winds.   They are all busy trying to put things back to normal.

After all that housework on Monday, here comes Tuesday which used to be 'ironing' day many years ago.  Some probably keep up with the old routine for the most part as it worked wonders and everything did get done.   But this Tuesday the sun may shine so it would mean an open door to the outside . . . so open it and go out and have some time out doing what  you want to do.    Catch up on some shopping, take a walk through an Antique store and see how the other half used to live.   You might find a gift for a special person for Valentine Day which is coming up fast .    I hope you are laughing out loud at the ridiculous ad to buy a huge teddy bear at ninety nine dollars for  your Valentine.   How ridiculous can it get and how dumb we would have to be to spend that kind of money on a stuffed animal no matter how big they make them.    Sheesh!!!!  If I want a hug it is not from a stuffed toy.   So be free with your hugs today and have some fun.  Hugs to all.
