Some chit chat.

I am so sick and tired of rain!

Every morning I get up and face this

It’s rained so much my lawnmower man can’t mow the grass and it’s getting so thick and tall. Looks like a wild field right now.

I miss the sunshine, the heat of it on my skin. I just bought some new sunglasses and haven’t had a chance to wear them. It’s clouds and rain, rain and clouds. At least it’s warm out.

I can always tell when the next batch of thunderstorms is about to blow in. The wind picks up and about blows me away!

If you’ve ever been in the south during one of these storms, you know how horrible they can be, and how scary. The thunder is so loud it shakes the house on its foundation and the windows rattle like they are going to jump out of their frames.

Then you hear the approaching rain, loud, almost deafening as it reaches you. In no time the yard is flooded.

With the severe drought on the west coast, I wish I could send them some of this rain.They sure need it and Oh how I long for the sun!

Sorry if I’m whining. LOL Let’s look at the bright side. With all of the rainy days, I did get a lot of reading done and blogging ahead. Got lots to share about books today!

I’ll be hopping over to check out your Sunday posts so be sure to leave me your link!

I’m sorry I didn’t comment on your posts last Sunday. My family decided to stay another weekend and we were too busy having fun. I promise I’ll do better today!

Since I’ve not been around much the last few weeks, I’ve combined several weeks of book news to share with you.

There’s a bunch of reviews and giveaways and wait until you see what I won! I have so many great new books to read. And I plan on reviewing every one.

I was over looking at my reading challenge page and I’m way ahead on most, especially Goodreads. I only add books that I have reviewed and I think I’ll break my record by the end of this year.

Other news. I had such a great time with family. We all stayed at my sister and brother-in-laws house and did a lot of touring, shopping, and eating.

And I got in the pool on Easter Sunday. Only a few of us got in but we did manage to coax my brothers dog in for a swim and she loved it.

I can’t wait for May. My brother will be back down to do some more fishing and my mother is coming to stay for the summer. Good times ahead!

Happy Spring ya’ll. It’s officially here and boy am I glad!

I came home from work the other day and spotted this.

I was saying the other day that spring is not officially here until I see green buds on my pecan trees. I was so excited when I looked up into the tree and spotted these beauties. Sorry I couldn’t get a better picture. Took it from my phone. Trust me, they are a pretty green.

In about a week the trees will be fully green again.  My spring fever is at a pitch and I’ve been cleaning gardens and mulching like crazy. It’s coming along nicely and I’ll take pictures when I’m done. Nothing fancy but I enjoy my little piece of heaven.

Some chit chat.

I must have sat for over half an hour trying to think of something to talk about. Nothing really new happened personal wise. Then I started thinking about summer. It looks like spring is finally arriving. I even had to run the AC this week. It was hot and humid. Looks like we’ll be skipping open window weather and jumping right into hot and sticky! This led to thinking about swimming.

When I first moved to the Gulf Coast almost 30 years ago, I didn’t think twice about swimming in the ocean. Well, Jaws was always on my mind. LOL I used to turn my back to the waves and pray there wasn’t some huge shark in there cruising for a meal.

It turns out the most dangerous thing I encountered was jellyfish. It seemed like every time I got in the water, I got stung. Some had tentacles so long you never saw it’s body when you felt that sting.

After going on many deep sea fishing trips and seeing some of the sharks out there, my fear of the ocean grew and I finally gave up swimming in it all together. I don’t miss it one bit. That’s because I have a pool and now I can walk out my back door and dive in with no worries.

Except for the time I fell asleep while floating in the pool. I woke and saw the shadow of a shark on the bottom and freaked out until I realized where I was and that the shadow came from a child’s float. LOL

So, what about you? Do you swim in the ocean? Are you afraid when you do? Which do you prefer, pool or the sea?

Oh, and watch out! There’s a jelly or two floating around in this post!

Did anybody wake up this morning feeling like they had lost some time?

Guess what day it is!

That’s right. Daylight Savings Time!

Do you set your clocks ahead before you go to bed or do you wait and do it when you get up? And does it affect you much?

I used to dread it when my son was younger and in school. He adapted pretty quickly though. Me now, that’s another matter. I’m always awake before dawn, and it takes my mind and body a while to adjust. I wish we could spring forward and NOT fall back!

I woke up this morning and there was this strange noise coming from outside. When I got out of bed to go investigate, I discovered my back yard and the trees were filled with birds. There were so many and they were so loud.

Most of them were big fat Robins and they looked so pretty. I couldn’t resist going outside to get a closer look and you won’t believe what happened!.

Yep, you might have guessed.  Right on my head! LOL

I love this gif. It even looks like a robin!

Some people say it’s a sign of good luck. That’s how I’m going to take it anyways. Maybe it means spring is right around the corner. If I could be that lucky!

That’s my big event for the week. Have you ever had a bird poop on you? Do you think it’s lucky?

Am I glad this week is over. I swear, it was so cold I froze my butt off, literally!  I work outside and with the bitter cold and gusting wind, I felt like a human popsicle. I really shouldn’t be complaining as so many folks had it so much worse. My mother said last night it hit 20 below.  I’m so glad I moved south!

Mardi Gras is over and now it’s on to the next big rush. Spring Break! Hard to believe it’s next month. Sure hope the weather cooperates and the beaches are sunny and warm.

I know I’m probably getting ahead of myself, but I’ve been getting my pool ready for swimming. I haven’t braved getting in, YET, but it sure looks sparkling clean and inviting. The gale force winds today are creating whitecaps. LOL

Here’s a cute video to warm you up:)

Happy Valentine’s Day ya’ll!

I didn’t do much for the holiday. I spent it reading and watching movies with my son.

You’d expect me to read or watch some romantic stuff, but nope, I binged on science fiction and horror. From fiction to non-fiction. And everything in between.

My eyes are blurring as I type this. LOL

Here we are again. This week went by so fast.

I spent this weekend wandering around outside, checking to see which plants survived the cold so far. I’ve got plans to move some this spring and want to buy some small fruit trees and plant an herb garden.

I got the idea for growing my own herbs when I decided to start trying the recipes from the cozy mysteries I’ve been reading. There are some really good ones and I’m collecting them. Herbs and spices can be very expensive so I figured growing my own would get me out in the fresh air, keep me busy, and save on money.

My son is excited as he’s the official taste tester and has enjoyed a few recipes I’ve tried already. I usually follow the recipe precisely the first time and then tweak it the next time I cook. It’s fun to see what I come up with, but sometimes it’s a disaster. LOL Hence the garden and saving on money.

I’ve also been playing with the idea of reviewing the book and sharing the recipe with pictures of my efforts. Should be fun and I’ll even post the disasters.

My wish is to one day to be able to make tacos that taste as good as Taco Bell’s. I love theirs and could eat them everyday.

Do you ever try the recipes from cozy mysteries? Do you try ones from the cooking networks?

And just for fun, what’s your favorite fast food?
