It's such a beautiful day today that it's hard to stay inside..... so I didn't. Leo left very early to go fishing... we were going to do the windows but the fish were calling him. :) Thats just fine because I found a lot of more fun things to do... First I put the rest of the patio furniture out on the patio. We got a nice box Saturday to put the cushions in so that is great.... no more running back and forth if it rains to bring the cushions in. And the family room won't be so cluttered in a rain. They all fit just perfect. I have 4 chairs and a setee and a footstool that all have cushions and they all fit with room to spare... I will probably be able to put the grill cover in there too. Then I watched Joan Rivers on QVC and bought a pretty pin, after that I had to go outside again and I cut back 2 rose bushes that don't really matter but they look bad so I cleaned them up and then remembered I got some buttercups that can be planted now.... such strange looking tubers. I planted 60. This is the second try for me. None of the first ones came up but the company sent me more so I figured I should try harder to plant them. That was last year..... I planted some in the ground and some in a planter. I planted them all in pots last time but we got a lot of rain after and maybe they just got waterlogged or something.... I sure hope they grow this time.... it said it would take 5 or 6 weeks for them to sprout.... that seems like such a long time doesn't it? It said they like cool weather and sun, so I wonder what that means. It has to be above freezing to plant them... I say it will be above freezing from now on at night.... if not I can bring the pot into the garage so we shall see....
Then the lady next door was coming home and I went over there to help her bring her groceries into the house.... she has such a hard time walking, so I did a good deed for today... and it felt good.
So now its already noon so there is still time to wash some windows.... but I'm not going to do it. I washed a mirror and the patio doors so I figured thats enough. Hope Leo doesn't come home still planning on doing it. Oh and he put another of my bird houses out in front yesterday... it looks pretty. I want 3 together to make a little statement.... I saw it in a book and I loved the way it looked.
I hope everyone is having as nice a day as I'm having. Sandra

I hope the bulbs come through this time ,I'm like you thought the windows need cleaning and then did everything but lol ,its still not that warm .My partner is a fisherman ,did I tell you I think I did ,I go with him and read and knit ,.....Jan xx
That a good idea for your cushions I have the same problem running in and out when it rains. I'm sure what you did was more intesting that cleaning all the windows you have made a start the rest can wait for another day.Enjoy your afternoon Love Joan.
I couldn't stay in either....too nice. First thing Tom and I went to a little breakfast at school that the little children had for the missions and then changed the altar cloths. Then when we got home, I fed the birds, did a little wash, and jumped back in the car. Took a ride to the library and then on to Kaukauna to browse. I got some seeds.....morning glory, four o'clocks and sweet peas. It says to soak the sweet pea seeds in water overnight so I'll plant them tomorrow. I have a little cold so will just take it easy this afternoon and read my new Rosamunde Pilcher book. I'm so glad you're getting out and enjoying this wonderful weather. That box is perfect for your cushions.....lucky you to have cushions!! I hope your buttercups come up and flower this time. I can't wait to see them. It should be the right time to plant them according to what you said. And I'm not doing the windows until the April showers have come and gone :) Angel
Know what you mean about the cushions...too cold to sit out just yet, but when we do, and leave the Cushions out..it always rains!
Still quite cold here in South Yorkshire..but we have the Sunshine!
