Hi Potties! Slow week but nice spring-like days early in the week. Not quite as cold at night either.
Katie - From what I've seen on the news, y'all must be in the midst of another bout of nasty weather. Are you near St. Louis? That's the only place in MO that I've ever visited. When we were in the Chicago area we went to St. Louis to order our custom built mobile home so only saw the Arch as we entered town.
I went out to feed the fish this afternoon & their water level was down again - after staying steady for a couple of days. I added a bit more water & will see how they look on Fri.
Those thieving chipmunks were back in the bird feeder this afternoon. I haven't seen them for about a week & was kinda hoping a predator had gotten them. Have to go back to not leaving the feeders out all day until I can think of something to do to at least slow down the amount of seed they steal.
The rain we were promised started in as mist about 5PM. It rained most of the night but has moved on to the south now. All the spring bulbs are probably happy to have gotten a nice drink. May be below freezing the next couple of nights but is 50* right now. If I'd know it would be this warm, I'd have put both ferns out to take advantage of the rain. Missed my chance for that. At least it's a hint that spring will be here eventually.
Sales at the booth are close to covering the rent but this is a short month so I don't expect a super month unless something expensive sells.
I stopped by U-Haul the other day to get a few things for the booth & finally got lucky & have a smaller space reserved. It won't save but about $10/mo. but every $1 counts these days. All I have to do now is get everything moved to the new space - one of the fellows who works there may want to make a few extra $ & will "volunteer" his muscles. Now to get over to the old house & do a bit more work. I told Zac on Tues. that I'd like him to come over with me to move a couple of the trash bags over here for pick-up. Hope he remembers I asked - he has many irons in the fire & not much free time.
The zoo is fed so think I'll take my book to bed & catch a little of the wee hours Olympic coverage. Took time off earlier to catch the NASCAR qualifying races for this weekend's Daytona 500. The races weren't very lively this year but I'm sure that will change on Sunday.
Everybody take care - for those having weather - keep your heads down! Later.
Susan
