Arther, You Can Leave

 Ole Arther, aka Arthritis, you can leave tonight any time you want to.  Every since supper, my bad foot has ached something terrible.  I've held off taking my arthritis strength Tylenol until shortly before bedtime but it's time to take a couple and hope they kick in during their usual 20 minutes. 

Update From The Compound

 The past three days, the temperature has been 80 degrees.  When I've gotten home from work, the house has been a bit warm.  But on the sly after supper each night, I flipped the switch and had the a/c on for a few hours to get the humidity out and to make it a bit more comfortable. And the Old Man was non the wiser.  Score one for Puddin. 

Updates From The Compound

 I was sidetracked last night when our grass cutter came and the Old Man and I were scrambling to get the cash together to pay him, and forgot about posting.

There's not much to update on.  We both are still doing good after our second Covid vaccine, though this weekend we both felt achy, but we're fine today.

And speaking of today, it was the first 80 degree day this year here in the 'Ville.  You know what that means, faithful readers:  Thermostat Wars is on.

Stay tuned. 

Happy Easter

Sad News From The Compound

 After a great week with such awesome happy news about the Old Man, we had a set back last night.  In the chicken coop, we are now down to 3. 

I've noticed for the past two months one of the hens has been laying her egg either on the coop floor, the floor of the pen, or heaven forbid, on the ground underneath the coop.  So that led me to believe she was afraid to go to the nesting box to lay.

But every few nights, I would go and pick up each of the four hens and check to make sure there were no feathers missing nor any bloody spots.  And all was well until last night.  I went to get eggs and saw one of my pretty girls that had gone on to meet her maker. 

At this point, there's nothing I can do.  It's like Survivor - wait and see if there's one hen standing.

Stay tuned. 

April Fools Update

 Mother Nature really got a lot of people yesterday with a big April Fools prank -- snow.  We had some flurries here in the 'Ville around mid-day, and several opening day baseball games got heavy flurries. 

Thanks a lot, Mother Nature.  You pulled a good one on us. 

Happy April Fools Day

 I am really missing my Sweet Mama today - as I've mentioned before, April Fools Day was one of her favorite holidays.  She would get me at least 3 or 4 times throughout the day.  I guess because she was so sweet, I never thought of her pranking me.  If she was still here with us, I'm positive she would have gotten me already early this morning.
