Hello Again

A couple more crocuses have bloomed.

 

Good morning, everyone. Are you a morning person? Do you wake up ready to go? If you are, then you and I are opposite, just like my husband and I are. I have sleep inertia where I wake up slowly, and over the last several years, I usually wake up with a headache. A migraine-like headache because it's always on the left side of my head. Fortunately, it usually dissipates after a couple of hours. 

So that's probably more than you wanted to know, but if you haven't guessed, this is another speed-blogging/stream-of-consciousness session. I've been intending to visit with you here for several days now. But you know what they say about good intentions. (The road to hell is paved with good intentions.)

We finally have all of the holiday things stowed away for another year, and everything is back in its normal place. Without the lights and other decorations, the place seems bare, but it is good to be back to some order. 

And it's especially good that we have order back in our kitchen. We've had mice in there, and the pantry and a couple of drawers have been emptied for a few days while we caught the culprits. All seems quiet on that front for now, so after a thorough cleaning, the kitchen has some order again.

We've had a few days recently with temperatures in the 50s, so we took advantage of the warm weather and visited the boats on Carroll Creek. Carroll Creek Park is a river walk with walkways, sculptures, and landscaping. For a couple of months around Christmas, they feature lighted boat sculptures in the water. It's a charity event for local organizations. Wally and Theo went with us, and we had a nice dinner at a local pub afterwards. Below are some pictures.

There goes my timer, so I wrap this up before I go another week without posting. 

Until next time...
