Thursday's Things

 It is suppose to warm up today enough for us to thaw a bit. The morning sunrise looked smudgy for some reason but we do now have clear sunshine. 

 The is a view of my hill in my backyard. It is a long story as to why I don't have a flat backyard but I get use to it and then take photos and see the strange lean of the land. I should plow out the land next to the fence and create a giant flower bed. 

 

 The birds leave their tracks as they search for fallen seed from above. The seem to be hungry today even though we just are not  that cold right now. Having been under the weather the past seven days for different reasons, it was fun to step out of the house and take photos while trying not to step into the snow with my stocking feet.

 The catalogue lays open from where I left it days ago. I did not buy new ones this year. I have three or four that I bought last year that I am counting on to be blooming in the late spring. 

 The photographer and editor of the catalogue do such a great job to get people to buy. The know their trade and know color is a big design element to catch people[s eye. I follow the reel of this company and it is fun to see the beds that are developing through the year. 

 I am feeling better and yet still have sore throat residue. I went for groceries yesterday as we were just out of everything.  I was strong enough to shop and yet it was a long job putting things away. My wife has caught what I just had. Each person gets different symptoms but she is sick. She is sleeping it off day and night. I never had this kind of cold that lasted for so long. Each day I developed a new different ailment. One night I had to sleep in an easy chair vertically as my throat was so swollen and my breathing was being impaired. Now I am keeping liquids going as often as possible to get the throat cleared up. My energy level is almost normal now but I am not going to do any brick laying today.

Thanks for checking in today.
