That was a day! Doing my regular routine, I read the news, although it isn't like the old days... I loved newspapers!

| Feb., 2012! |
It's not too exciting a life. I checked the trailcams in the morning, and there wasn't much going on. I did some reading on the back deck, then washed the kitchen and bathroom floors. That felt good. I refrained from doing the floors just before the kids came, as that takes the pressure off! I don't worry about spills.
We had our vaccines last week, last Wednesday, I hadn't been feeling well Monday. Reading on the lower back deck, I lay out on the bench swing, and read about the KKK in Canada. Seriously. I was achy all over, including a headache, took some Advil and hoped for the best. It was a horrid night, too. JB brought me more Advil at 4:20 a.m. Let's see what I'm like today.
JB has had a cough. It's been worrisome. I phoned Friday, and he had a COVID–19 test Sunday. The results came online, he's negative. This is a good thing. We think it's allergies. The pollen has been terrible.
We had a massive rain storm, thunder and lightning! During this time, we had 21+ mm and it was wonderful. It just POURED!
The rains moved in and moved out. Glorious rain!!!!

I lay down at 2 p.m. and slept, tucked into my bed, until 3:45. I was cold, despite the heat wave. I seldom have naps. JB nuked me a quick frozen dinner. I took a couple of Advil, and used his Dr. Ho on my neck.
We still have our robin family under the deck. The cats have been confined to barracks to protect the birds. Here are my baby robins from 2007! They nested on the eavestrough pipe in Bala.

I just wanted to save these photos here. The LDD damage is horrid.

The favoured spot at the house where I grew up was out the back door for nests. There was a clothesline mounted above the stairs out to a post in the back yard. Birds often would start building a nest on top of the mounting against the wall. So for a few weeks in the spring we would just leave via the front door.

I hope you feel better.

It is just NOT going to reach temps to tempt me into water of any depth, let me tell you. Your rain matches ours - though I appreciate it is more required your way. I am back in my winter jumper and knee blanket. Scottish summers suck. YAM xx
Beautiful photos. I hope you have a great day.

This seems to be a bad year for leaf eating caterpillars and pollen. I am trying to convince myself that bad or annoying things help us appreciate the good things in life.
I always enjoy your life stories, seem at least interesting, if not exciting at times. Life is pretty dull here.
Sorry about your reaction. Let's see how I do after tomorrow.
Lucky you to get some rain. Sorry to hear your were sick.
I hope you are feeling better now. Sleep is always a good thing when you aren't . I used to love reading the paper but it is almost a lost art now ? LOL .. That is cute with the kids in the pool, good for you patching it up !
I'm sorry about those poor trees .. yuck ! We had glorious rain here in Kingston too .. after being so darn dry, we really needed it.
Who knows what kind of weather this season will have, cross our fingers and hope for the best I guess.
Jenn - we are fortunate in our family not to have allergies, because the pine trees around here are FULL of pollen. I can see pollen blowing on the wind ... I hope you feel better soon - my son and I also had strong reactions to the second shot for 24 hours afterwards. We have many aspens here, and I need to study more about them - we have "healthy" trees right next to ones that are full of brown leaves ...
What? You have KKK in Canada too? I thought it was exclusively a nasty U.S. thing.
