Annabelle was outside, begging to get in. Usually she can't wait for the door to open and she's out like a shot, but today she wants no part of it....too windy. We had planned to finish our hanging baskets and get them hung, but that will have to wait...too windy. We had also planned to go to the driving range this afternoon, and unless the wind dies down, we probably won't go.
It's not like there's nothing to do...we can go swimming at the indoor pool, walk the indoor track, work out on the equipment we have in our garage, go to the Trilogy library and bring home some interesting books...have lunch at the club. There's a long list of things to do if we choose. Doing nothing is a choice also, which I may choose to do today. Most days we have some kind of commitment - today, none. We have 3 Netflix movies - maybe I'll watch all three today. . . I have a painting I started weeks before Christmas... maybe I'll work on that. Maybe not. If I sit here long enough, I will have made a choice.
Picture(s) of the Day
These are pictures taken from our garden last year. We get some very interesting insects visiting our plants...this dragonfly was the most beautiful green with very lacy wings. She was on the cucumber plant that we grew on the trellis...check out the cucumber just behind her.:>)
The colors on the petunias were rich and vibrant and the plants lasted all summer, into the fall. We trimmed them back twice and they kept producing these gorgeous flowers.
We moved the rose trees from Modesto (with the help of Mike and Bev) in large pots and were concerned that they may not survivie - here's one of the beautiful blooms. During the winter the roses took something of a beating from the sub-freezing temperatures we had, but we think they've survived. We had the gardner plant them in the ground a few weeks ago and so far they look ok.
Marigolds are one of Jim's favorites. These did well last year. We've planted some seeds this year and are hoping for this much success.Maybe tomorrow the wind will have died down and we can work outside.
Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
