Cold!

Well I made it almost all the way through the winter before I caught a cold. Tuesday night I had to get up and sleep in my recliner when I had some charlie horses in my leg and I was all stuffed up.  The heat pad took care of the cramps and I just have a head cold so far, I am getting lots of rest so hopefully it wouldn't get any worse.  I spent most of Wednesday in the recliner.

I was up pretty early this morning and puttered on the computer most of the morning.  Then I went in to watch Let's Make a Deal and promptly slept through the whole show.  I managed to stay awake during the Price is Right.  After lunch I was back on the computer when I heard a helicopter coming so I grabbed the camera and got several pictures of a Chinook flying over.  When I looked at the pictures later I thought there was dirt on the lens because of the two specks on the right side.  When I zoomed in on the picture they turned out to be two bald eagles.

That got me started and I was filling the little pond when I noticed the wild strawberries were in bloom.

I couldn't resist taking a picture of the sunshine, it was close to seventy out there and really felt good.

The sunshine perked me up so I took a short walk looking for a purple Easter lily, this was the nicest one I found.

Some of our patches of lilies have them at several stages of their blooming cycle.

After I took the pictures I edited some of them on the computer, when I finished that I decided to go out to the shop and refill the stove.  When I came through the kitchen I discovered Vera had made a batch of Cocoa Mounds and boy are they good.

When I came in from the shop I noticed the moon was out, this is the best picture I got of it.  Well, I hope I can sleep tonight because I am pretty stuffed up.

We got some new solar lights that I really like so I took a short video of one after I took the pictures of the moon.
