What Season Is It ?

I awoke this morning to find myself  buried under blankets and Laney snuggled right next to me.  I peeped my head out from under the covers and it was very cold in the room.   I looked up to see if there were ice cycles hanging from the ceiling. LOL!  In about a 24 hour period the temperature went from 80 degrees down to 28 degrees.  I looked out the window and said," yuck".  There it was again a winter wonderland.   It looked like there was about two inches of the white fluffy snow on the ground.  The only good thing was the beautiful sunshine.  The high today is suppose to be 39 degrees.  The weather station was predicting wind chills in the twenties.  Thank goodness I didn't pack away the winter coat. What happened to spring, baseball and fun in the sun?

It is hard to believe that over the weekend we were out working in the yard getting our flower beds ready for beautiful flowers.  I planted pansies in pots for the front porch.  Thank goodness I brought them inside last night.  We actually mowed the grass for the first time and visited with neighbors who we had not seen all winter.  Everybody was outside enjoying  a preview of spring and today everyone has retreated back into their caves. LOL!  It is suppose to warm back up by the end of the week.  

Laney was in  shock as I opened the door this morning to let her out.  She did not want to go out, so I had to chase her in the house and pick her up and put her out.  She is so spoiled and loves the comfort of the house.  

I am sitting here smiling, as I am waiting for a phone call from my husband.  I know the first thing out of his mouth will be that the house felt like a meat locker this morning.  I am laughing because I had turned on the air conditioner this weekend, as the upstairs was very hot.  So, as the temperatures fell last night the heat did not come on.  It was a balmy 59 degrees this morning in the house.  I'll remind him that at least it was warmer in the house than outside.  LOL!  I have to admit that it is cold and the furnace is now on.  

I just heard that there will be a hard freeze tonight.  So we can kiss the spring flowers goodbye and only hope that this was the last of the snow.  Where did you go spring?  Please come back and stay awhile.  Hope everyone has a blessed day no matter what season it is.

Life is beautiful !!

Go Reds

Yesterday was one of the warmest days we have had for awhile.  It made it to 72 degrees, but was very windy. The best part of the day of course was the sunshine.  Rain moved in last night and thankfully it has left and now we have sunshine.  I hoping we will continue to have a nice evening for some fun.  Yeah it is TGIF!

We are off to watch the Reds play the Rays this weekend.  You know spring is here when you can go to the ballgame.  I remember when my children were young it was always exciting to take them to the game.  We would always stand at the gates and get autographs of the players as they exited the ballpark.  That was years ago before they built the new stadium.  My children loved showing off their ball caps that the players had signed.  Now days there is so much security it is not easy to autographs.

Baseball is the one thing that keeps the family together.  My dad reminded us daily of the countdown to opening day at the Reds.  I don't think he misses any games.  He and my son are number one fans.  My son got the honor a couple of years ago to throw out first pitch.  I think he breathes, eats and sleeps baseball. Now if I could only get him as enthusiastic about some other things in life. LOL!

So, let the fun begin and pray for a win for the Reds!  I'll wave to you Dad as you watch from the comfort of your home. I love you!  Go REDS!

Life is beautiful !!
