Welcome Friends

Got Spring Fever Symptoms?


I'm not the only one; have you got spring fever too?

How can you tell when you've got spring fever?

For some of us it is the warmer, milder weather. Maybe you're suddenly inspired to start cleaning up the yard. Or, perhaps you get a yen to travel and go on a trip; You might be packing away your winter clothes, trying your summer clothes to see if they still satisfy you.

If a gardener, you might be checking your supply of seeds. Any left from last year? Which ones will you need to buy?

I've seen some folks out and about striding along in shorts, with bare legs exposed! (That's not me!)

But yes, I do have strong case of spring fever. How great to go outside without putting on boots first. Yesterday, after supper I raked the front yard. (The forecast is for rain showers the next two days!)

My computer issues have let up, so I'm gearing up on the deep-cleaning of this room, especially as I'm expecting a cousin and husband to visit from Scotland next week Wednesday! (Wondering when I'll get to do the basement!)

I'm checking my seed supply, and getting big ideas; like sowing most of my front flowerbeds with Marigolds!

So which of us has spring fever the most; you or me?

What's New: Checking Things Off is Fun!


I've made myself five lists (by categories) of things I would like to squeeze into slots between my regular daily agendas.

Do you know how much fun it to check things off on a list? You can see more easily that you are definitely making some progress.

There are bigger projects on these lists, but being able to check off the smaller ones does give me the sense that I'm making progress.

Of course, it is important to keep those lists handy so that I don't somehow forget that I should keep checking them for the next "little project" or that I've in fact finished one or two today already.

Not everyone appreciates the idea of making lists and checking items off when done, but I do recommend it. If you have never tried it, you may be in for a good surprise.

Seven Fruits that Prevent Cancer

I saw that heading under a Youtube video last week and checked it out. I have already made a habit of eating an apple every morning, and was pleased to see it at the top of the list of seven fruits.

Now I want to start adding more of the others too. Maybe not daily, but more often.

7 Fruits that Prevent Cancer:
apples
pears
grapefruit
blueberries
strawberries
avocado
tomatos

I can't say I'm terribly excited about avocado...

I just did a search, and find that others have different fruits and vegetables on their lists. So if you keep looking, you might find exactly a list of your own favourites.
