This past weekend amazed me with the growing of nature stuff. Seriously, it was like you could watch the flowers bloom. My yard went from a few leaves to full blown flowers. I took several walks around the yard to check out the progress and each time more things had grown or got leaves or went from tight green buds to bright red tulips. It was kind of wild. I guess that’s what happens when the weather goes from a high in the 40′s to the mid-eighties for a couple of days. Of course, yesterday it was back in the high forties.

Saturday morning on my walk to the post office to get a couple of the boys passport cards I noticed two cherry trees whose leaves were just starting to sprout. On Monday night (when the temps had already started plunging) I walked to the library and the same trees were in full bloom. That’s some wild growth right there. Mother nature is amazing.

While Mother Nature was doing her thang I was… not. Not a stitch of yard work was done. No, I napped. I did laundry. I didn’t shop or even cook. I was TIRED. Oh so very tired. I did knit. And read. It seems I forgot to get my B-12 shot the previous Monday or you know, decided I could wait another week and guess what… nope. Every two weeks or I end up sleeping and dragging around. So I kind of lost a beautiful weekend to the fatigue. Still, I did enjoy it even if I didn’t get any of the eleventy billion chores done that needed to be done. Anyone want to come over and paint? Prime? Replace a garage roof? Garden? No? Fine, be that way.

Today finds me making lists. Lists of things that need to be done before I leave for my Girls’ Weekend on Saturday. Lists of things that need to be packed. Things like laundry and shaving my legs. Packing wine and the Grey Goose. Download all the photos off the camera and charge the batteries. Stopping at the liquor store and some place to pick up a gift for the hostess. These are the things I must do in the next day and a half. And must not forget to take a photo of the boys to show off. I think the last time I took one of the four of them was last Girls’ Weekend in the fall.

There was something else I was going to write about. I have no idea what that something else was though.
