Nothing exciting - just idle thoughts

The bluebirds are back! They visited a couple weeks ago and again this morning. Looks like they are working on the nest. How I love watching spring happen. The ground is turning green rapidly. The car is turning yellow with pollen. So are all the other outdoor surfaces. In a few days I'll grab a water hose and wash down the porch and begin sitting out there rather than watching from inside. Geese returned this morning. Ducks seem to be in hiding right now. ----- Genealogy writing class last night was fun and informative. All ten of the class members have interesting insights and learnings to pass on so I'm getting excited about actually writing about the family.....as soon as I get my Happy by Myself book under control. It is still testing my ability to get it organized. Somehow the organization seems to me to be very difficult - much more so than the writing. Perhaps Lisa, my writing coach, can get me untangled when we talk in a week or so. Until then, I'll keep struggling. ....Today I'm off to Asheville to spend the night so I'll be there for early morning appointment with Dr. Biddle. I'm not comfortable driving at night now and besides, it's always fun to spend a night in a motel. I always sleep well and I finally figured out one reason - the rooms are dark. So, I've placed room darkening shades on my bedroom windows - and it makes a big difference! I don't have the heavy drapes that shut out all the light, but much of it is gone. Time for more tea.
