The dark clouds followed by rain quickly moved in, blocking the remaining traces of the morning sun. All of the trees were bursting with life. I think that one of my favorite trees is the Cherry Blossom. I love the pretty pink blooms.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994656I am heading into the heart of the big city today to take my youngest daughter and her husband car shopping. Joni made an appointment over the weekend to meet with the salesman today at the dealership. The traffic will be a nightmare, and the appointment will more than likely be boring for me, so...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994650Any sign of good weather hanging around until Easter Sunday disappeared late yesterday afternoon, but not before the day treated my area with sunshine and 80-degree temperatures all over SW Pennsylvania. Today is another story altogether. It is dismal, wet, cloudy, and downright chilly, with a...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994632I am thoroughly pooped out after spending an early Easter Day with the kids and grandkids. We delivered the Easter baskets and enjoyed a simple day. We took a two-mile city walk since the weather was beautiful and since tomorrow is calling for thundershowers, it all worked out for us.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994600I have run to the store twice this morning, after forgetting what I originally went for the first time. It doesn't happen often, but when brain fog checks in, I might as well go and take a seat somewhere until the fog clears. I took a short break by walking around my yard to see what new blooms...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994582I knew the instant I walked outside this morning that this was my kind of day for what I have been wanting to do since the first day of Spring arrived a few weeks ago. It is sunny and pleasantly warm with a high of 82 degrees expected by this afternoon. Yesterday, we mowed and edged the yard, did...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994567You would have never known by the sunny and warm day that anything was about to get out of control. What had started as a calm and warm evening suddenly began to turn, beginning with a drop in temperature. Then, out of nowhere, a weather warning interruption flashed across the television during...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994542There was a time not so long ago that pay phones were a big deal. Every once in a while, I come across one through my travels. Pay phones hold a special place in my memory bank and in my heart. It is how John reached out asked me out for a second date in April of 1986, from the pay phone on the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994527It was a nice surprise this morning to see that my groundhog has come back to visit for another year. There are usually two or three of them that return in early spring. Greta is very pregnant, so in no time at all, there will be little furballs running around. They normally set up a home on the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/994514Spring is one of my gnome's favorite times of year. They happily come out of their houses to frolic around the yard. A few of them look for mischief, but mostly they are looking to make repairs on their little teapot and mushroom houses. While looking to see what my gnomes are up to, I came across...
