Thinking of You!

 

I keep seeing all of these pictures of the snow, and my goodness, I thought February was bad but March just seems to break as many snow records, but I do see that next week the whole U.S. seems to have a nice weather pattern coming. Then I won't feel so guilty of posting pictures of spring. You know I do feel really guilty right? Just so you know, because the next few pictures are what I would call just not nice at all.

As I mentioned, I have a household of sick people. My cures when people are sick are, " Go sit out in the sun, drink lots of water, and eat chicken soup, and this drink I make up for them."

The drink is this:
Take the juice of one blood orange, one regular orange, and a lemon. Put it in a cup, add boiling water and a teaspoon of honey. Drink it all up and can be repeated when ever you feel like it.
The other thing is I think because strawberries are high in vitamin C it is good to have them. I was out running errands and I went by this man selling flats of strawberries by the side of the road.  I knew they would be so expensive, but with sick kids I knew it would be worth it.

 

So I stopped. They were lovely. Oh so worth it. I came in the door and the boys started eating strawberries
and eating and by the evening, there was only one basket left which was gone by the next morning.

 

Early strawberries don't have good flavor this early but these were lovely. My grand children will all here this weekend and next week I will be returning I know they will love these strawberries.  I am so out of jam now, I know where I will be going once the price comes down, I do hope it does.

 

I know this isn't a very good shot, but I walked outside yesterday and there were two giant clumps of buzzards flying around over the pasture, just soaring. My memory card was acting up and by the time I got it fixed this was the only group close enough to take a picture of. They do that in the spring, for a couple of days the sky will just be full of flocks of them. Last spring, I stood and watched hundreds of them fly over the house for 45 minutes. I have never seen anything like that either. I never knew there were so many. They just kept flying in to come to this place to soar. I thought it must be the warm air that the pasture has right now causing the up and down drafts.The swallows do the same thing in April. Maybe they are courting.

I have been making a birthday present. It will so nice once I am finished, or at least I hope so. Me and sewing with a machine, lets say we are acquainted but aren't real good friends. I will show you a picture once the birthday recipient receives it. I thought yesterday I would be finished. Nope. Now I know it will be a couple more days.
But I have miles and miles to go before I sleep, so I need to get this day going, times a wastin'.

Have a lovely Friday,
