Cold Spring

So far this year in So Cal we keep getting rain and cold. I love what it does for my lawn and flowers. My allergies have taken a beating.

With my goals of walking the dogs a lot, it has put a stop to some of that. I did take them out on Monday and Tuesday morning, before it started to rain. It did help to get time tired. If it doesn't rain tomorrow I will take them out again.

One of the benefits is that the house is nice and peaceful and I can get things done. It was hard to cook a whole turkey with them in the kitchen yesterday. (left over since November, when the price was discounted.) It was still manageable. Since I am still unemployed, making meals that stretch has been a necessity. One of the good things about being home, is having the time to make these meals.

The other thing about being home is also getting to the projects you have been putting off. Monday started my spring cleaning effort. If the job situation stays the same I could be done in record time. With a full time job it takes me a month of Wednesday evenings to finish. I am not a neat freak by any stretch of the imagination, but every once in a while, it feels great to purge. What ever your projects are. Planting new tomatoes or lawns, I hope all the rain helps! It might be a cold spring, but its so good for us.
