warm sunny day

It's such a beautiful day today!!!!!! sunny and 40 degrees .... Leo just came in and told me what it was. Snow is starting to melt :)
We went to pay for my new dishwasher and look at the kitchen rugs etc.... I came home with a rug and an anti stress finger squeeze ... it tells you how to do 3 different finger squeezies.... a thumb squeeze and Finger flex and a finger squeeze...hahaha  I will have fun tonight watching the olympics and American Idol while exercising. :) I was looking at all the different exercise things and came home with this.... hahahahahahaha... well it should help the arthritis in my fingers a little anyway. My mother used to have one she used in between knitting and crocheting so her hands would stay nimble..... So I should be able to type faster on the computer too when I have exercised for awhile too... what do you think? :>) It is also called an anti stress grip.  So then I got a few groceries etc etc and came home and we ate lunch and Leo fixed up a little nick the dishwasher installer did while taking the old dishwasher out. Leo said he was so happy to have it out and the new one installed he didn't say anything to the guy... Someone said others complain and expect a whole new counter top but that is silly and besides I don't want any more work done in the house for awhile and Leo did a great job and if you came in you wouldn't even notice the spot.... he also repaired a small spot he burned about 20 years ago.... finally. You see when he burned it he was working a lot and now he is looking for things to do..... But not for long because he went to his fishing spot to see if anyone was there today. I could look at the site in the computer but he likes to go and see for himself. I gave him my little camera to take a few pictures to show me how the water or ice looks today. If they turn out I will put one in later. I hope he remembers to take one.
So now I think I will look over the new seed catalog I finally got in the mail today..... My very favorite one ~ "Thompson and Morgan"  I haven't gotten one in a couple of years from them and thought they stopped sending them because of the internet but I was happily surprised this afternoon. There is free shipping on my first order too. I wonder if I have to order $50 though to get that as is the practice on so many other catalogs. the trouble with me is I want too many and don't have enough room. I wonder if I can convince Leo to make me another little area for my seed garden.... Iwill have to think of that for awhile. They say you should be careful what you wish for... I will be careful ( maybe) If I am then this will be the first year for me with my flower gardens.... Soon I  will be watching for buds and the crocus and daffs peeking out of the ground again. :) 
Hope everyone is having a happy day today, Sandra

Once the snow melts you will see how much thing have come up under their blanket.  Strange we get Thomson and Morgan here too. Love Joan.

Sounds like you had a pleasant day. A lot of snow melted today. I went grocery shopping this afternoon and the parking lot was flooded....what a nice site :)
I saw a chipmunk this afternoon - long time since I've seen one of those out and about. He found a nice little snack of seeds under the birdfeeder I hung on the front porch.

It sounds like you are a lot happier now that all the work is done.  I'll have to try one of those stress squeezers as the arthritus in my hands is getting bad.  Years of typing and keyboarding don't help.  We mostly have things that come up everyyear in our flower beds.  We do try to put in a few others just for color, but we really don't plant many seeds.  It is good to think about working in the garden though.  We are enjoying sun again this morning !
