A Rhyme and More

Spring is sprung

The grass is riz

Look right there

The flowers tiz

That's something my dad sang for many years when spring happened. He loved spring. I don't know if he made up that little rhyme or if it came from somewhere else but I now sing it to the kids.

I really don't have anything to write today. I found the following on The Captain's Log. She didn't tag me, but I'm doing it anyway. It fills my blog for today.

What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was working and feeling very alone. I hadn’t yet met Harry (I met him 23 October 1998). I actually looked back in my journals and found a travel order (work related travel) that sent me on what we called a “Round Robin” – I flew out of Huntsville, AL to White Sands, NM; Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; Washington DC; and return to Huntsville. That was a two week trip. It was just “business as usual.”

Five things on my do to list today:
1. Find someone to de-thatch our zoysia lawn.
2. Go to bank to deposit dental insurance checks
3. Price materials for rose arbor – maybe purchase
4. Make accurate measurement of bedroom – prep for paint, etc.
5. Spend some time just relaxing and spending time with Harry.

Five snacks I enjoy:
1. Cheese and crackers
