At 4:00 this morning I was awake...(welcome to my world)...it was 60 degrees out!!!!! I listened while an April thunderstorm rolled above us. Blinding lightning, rolling thunder, drumming rain. The normally beautifully melodic windchimes sang a new tune: ding clang blang. Ahhh a spring storm!! Wait...in January?
After breakfast Cowboy and I headed toward the home improvement store. On the way we saw a big lighted star twinkling on a barn above the barn door. I was completely ready to pass judgment or, at the very least, ridicule them for still having Christmas lights up. Ooops! It's still January!
"OK. Sorry, I'll just put this "get-out-of-judge-free" card in your mailbox. You're excused. My bad."
I was confused. But I'm being slapped back into reality. Forecast: temps are a-dropping, wind is a-howling. Yeah, it's still January....if it's gonna be winter, it should act like it. I'm a purist like that.
Made it to the home improvement store, oh yeah!....I have a pioneer-do-it-yourself-renaissance-woman spirit....so I am fascinated at the home improvement store. I want to learn how to do..it..all. Power tools, paint techniques, install some plumbing and electrical...build a barn and .... yeah, it's a sickness. While I was thumbing through the how-to books, one of the store's employees walked by and asked if I had built my house yet. I quickly caught on to the joke...I'm fast like that. I told him I'd already built the house and the barn and was moving on the building the greenhouse. We chatted about the price of groceries and gas...then tootle-loo.
I imagined remodeling all the houses and farms we passed on the way back ....still smiling....the world needs me...hahahaha
oh, yeah....thanks to all you wonderful readers who are following my blog. :)
tootle loo! keep on keepin on, Lisa!
