Sunny and breezy today with temps in the mid 60’s.

I cleaned the sinks and toilets and tidied up the kitchen.

Spending the day watching the blackbirds devour my mesh feeder of food. Can’t keep them away. I did not have them around last year once it turned warm. I spend the day tapping on the window to scare them off but they come right back. Even though I have a second feeder the smaller birds can use I still get tired of seeing them.

The forecast rain for last night and this morning missed us again. Temperatures are in the low 60’s with mostly sunny skies.

Frances and Al left this morning to head down the mountain for home.

Sunny and breezy today with temperatures in the mid to upper 50’s.

This morning Frances and Al helped me with the household chores. We did my laundry and washed a load of towels. Al vacuumed and cleaned my shower. Frances helped me dust and empty trash cans.

They just left for the grocery store to do my shopping and to pick up something to go with the kielbasa we are fixing for dinner.

The forecast rain for today did not show up. Instead, just partly cloudy and cool.

My CNA came this morning to help with my shower.

James is mowing right now. Frances and Al will be here later this afternoon.

Mostly cloudy and breezy today with temperatures in the mid 60’s.  May get some rain later tonight.

Quiet morning. I did wash up a few things that do not go in the dishwasher, made iced tea, and tidied the kitchen.

Jo stopped by this afternoon to bring in my FedEx box. That’s how my medicine and flushes are delivered. She stowed the medicine in the fridge and filled the bird feeders for me.

Partly cloudy with temperatures in the upper 60’s and breezy. May get some off and on rain showers.

This afternoon Pratt stopped by for a visit and brought me a container of Panera Potato Soup from Food Lion. An easy heat up meal for a couple of dinners.

Joyce is stopping by later to bring me a library book and pick up one of hers I had borrowed. My neighbor is getting in my mail.

I am very grateful for all the support I’ve had from neighbors and friends.

Warm and sunny today with temps in the low 70’s and calm  winds. Tonight will only get down into the upper 40’s.

A slow morning but my RN is coming this afternoon to draw blood and change my pic line and my CNA to help with my shower. In between those visits I have to get my afternoon antibiotic infusion done.

Another light snow overnight. Less than half an inch it covered the deck, lawn, and natural areas. This morning is sunny but cold with temperatures in the upper 30’s and windy. Today it will warm up into the low 50’s but still breezy.

This morning I did manage cleaning the sink and toilet in my bathroom and in the foyer. That’s it for the chores I can do today.

Cold and windy today. We had a light dusting of snow overnight but was all gone by 10 am. We may get some off and on snow showers this afternoon and tonight.

James came yesterday afternoon and mowed for the first time. The grass was pretty high in some places. He came in and visited for awhile after he finished.

I am flying solo this weekend. JoAnne came over around mid-morning to help with the laundry and to haul off my trash. I can do the laundry but getting the clothes from the bedroom to the laundry room and back would have been a hassle. I was glad to have her help.

Al has been taking the trash down to Winston. I get trash pickup on Monday but it has to go out the end of the driveway. Since I only have one bag each week I do not have an outside trash can to roll out. I have always put the bag out early that morning. I did not want someone to come by Sunday and put it out because animals would get into it overnight.

She just left. Nothing else to do today except fix dinner and load the dishwasher. I will be so happy to be able to walk again on my right leg and not have to hop around on a walker.

Brief thunderstorm last night. This morning more off and on showers but not much in the way of precipitation. High today in the mid 50’s and windy. Dropping back down into the upper 30’s tonight.

Yesterday late afternoon, Keli brought me homemade chicken Alfredo and garlic bread for my dinner and stayed to visit while I ate.

This morning I did  few odds and ends in the kitchen to keep things tidy.

Home health is coming this afternoon to help with my shower.
