Good Friday

Yesterday was a gorgeous spring day, and today looks like it's going to be a repeat performance.   Easter weekend is here.  The trees are blooming in their spring pastels, and it looks like the grass could soon use some mowing.  I picked some hyacinths the other day, and every time I pass them, I get a whiff of that wonderful fragrance.

The Hubby is really struggling with his head cold.  It's hit him quite hard, and he says he probably won't go to the kids house for Easter dinner on Sunday.  He doesn't want to pass the cold along to all the relatives who will be gathered, including the 4 children, so we will probably stay home together.  I don't want him to be alone.

I have plans this morning to meet friends for a trip to the Arts Center and then lunch.  It should be fun.  We went there last year for this event - a charity event put on by the Seniors.  I should stop now and get ready to go.  Perhaps more later ...  This photo was taken at the Philadelphia Flower Show this spring.

I've Spread it Around ...

Oh dear.  The Hubby has come down with my cold - at least an extremely sore throat - for which I feel responsible.  He says it can also be the result of the woodworking he was doing yesterday with a saw and the dust particles.  He's doing all he can with gargling and a neti pot to relieve it, but had a bad night's sleep.  He started to feel it last night after dinner.  Oh dear, oh dear ...

I've been fussing around trying to attach a signature to my blog.  Had one finally figured out - that html code reading is like reading Greek to me - but it ended up splitting into the end of the post and looked a little garish and obnoxious.  When asked for comment, The Impudent Angel said it simply wouldn't do, and I nixed the horrid little gadget until I can make it more tasteful.

Until later ... (pretend signature)

Cough, Cough ...

Had a tough night last night. I've managed to pick up a cold, and coughed much of the night. Not much rest. I had so many things I wanted to do today, but I can tell there won't be much getting done. I'm going back to bed in a few minutes.

Spiffing up my Blog

I added some decor to my blog today. A little wallpaper, as it were. I think it looks nice. I'm grateful to the bloggers who offer free graphics for other bloggers. My new bling is from Shabbyblogs.com. Thank you!

Not feeling 100% today. I've managed to come down with a cold and have been coughing all day. My experience with colds the last few years is that a cold usually ends up as bronchitis for me, so I'm going to go to the doctor's in the next couple of days if the coughing gets worse. I need a Z-pack in that case.

It's very blowy outside. So much so that the outdoor the umbrella went over twice and the patio furniture took a tumble. The wind is coming from a different direction than it usually does, and it's still windy.

Hope everyone has a good week ahead.
