Wednesday, already?
- Have I mentioned recently how much I love spring? All the flowering trees and early flowers…*contented sigh*
- I have a bird feeder which I finally filled a few days ago. The birds have found it, and yesterday there was a goldfinch and a pair of cardinals there. There were also some less pretty birds, but those ones were fun to watch!
- I woke up to my radio this morning (which is unusual), and it was playing “Let it Rise,” a lovely praise chorus. What a great way to start the day!
- I graded all but four papers yesterday. This is quite an accomplishment. I also had sorted them so I could grade them worst-to-best, so these last four won’t take long at all. And then I’m done grading until the final portfolios next week. Lovely!
- I made pies yesterday. One I have to take to CU with me. That one’s cherry. I also made a fresh strawberry pie which I gave to our next-door neighbors. She was very excited. It is so nice to do kind things for people. I should do them more often…
- I’ve been able to exercise outside all week. I
outside exercising in the morning!
So I think that’s about all the happy thoughts I have this morning, but I thought I’d share them with you. Enjoy your Wednesday!
Pies = mmm! Do you run or walk outside?
I love feeding and watching the birds. Goldfinches stay all winter if you give them thistle. They change to brown during the winter. We have a bluebird family in our box, too, already…..I’m still waiting for hummers…..
@shannahhogue – I should, too!
Oh wait…. I am! How in the world did that happen??
@chrissdeb – I actually just edited out all my crabby comments. I’m so naturally negative that I purposely mentioned only ‘good’ things today. I guess I’m good at “spin” – I should be in PR!
@chrissdeb – I completely agree! but that’s those Campbell girls for ya!
A little too chipper if you ask me.
aren’t you very chipper this morning!
I do not understand why people invite birds into their yards. Makes no sense to me at all.
Exercise — I should do that!
@mtaviano –
You know she just knows. You’ve taught before. The best part of doing that is that sometimes you’ll get one in the “worst” end of the pile that is surprisingly good. That is very, very fun!
Ooooh, I love bird feeders! And spring. And strawberry pie. How kind of you!
I’m smiling at you putting the papers in order from worst to best. 🙂 Do you glance through them or just know whose will be which? 🙂
i want to be your next-door neighbor so that you will make me a strawberry pie!
and maybe knit me a pair a warm slippers for the wintertime. 
(and also i’d just really like to meet you in person!)
We’ve been loving feeding our birds lately, too. This morning I had a downy woodpecker, a cardinal, and a nuthatch.
