Spring!

What a gorgeous day! It hit 70+ this afternoon. Tomorrow is suppose to be even better. It should hit the midwest and eastern seaboard later in the week. Enjoy it while you can.  I got a bit of yard work done today - mowed the lawns again. The sun did it's magic on the trees. The maple tree out back has been close for several days but it wasn't until this afternoon that the buds finally started to  blossom.




We've seen the buds on the "tulip" tree in the front yard. (I don't know exactly what it really called, we call it the tulip tree because of these flowers it produces every spring)




We bbq'd for the first time this year for dinner tonight. That first time always smells and tastes sooooo good! I hope it made the neighbors change their plans for dinner.

I've sent my resume off a couple of times in the past several weeks. I haven't gotten any responses, but at least there are some positions out there. It's just a matter of time, right? I'm signed up for unemployment benefits now. Every little bit helps. If not now, it surely will in the long run.

Tomorrow, after the dog walk and the days chores we just might take a ride to the coast. There's a little place that serves a great cup of chowder. It will be a beautiful day for a ride. It will be just what the doctor ordered for attitude improvement.
