Happy earth day!

73*, feels like 72*, 30 in and falling barometer, S 9 mph wind, fair

Its earth day, and I had so many plans for today but everything is getting in my way! Like today's sky view photo, for some odd reason when I try to post it here all I get is a red x. Well my plans for the day included looking for the Mink that visited our patio last night. I'd like to find out where he lives. I really should get a critter cam! I've never seen a mink before. My plans also included getting my bike out of the shed, inflating the tires and oiling everything that needs it, planting seeds, watching the one sparrow that does visit my bird feeder, and watching clouds while laying on the grass.

A stupid strep throat infection had to knock me down and ruin my day.....I've never had strep throat before. I thought I would get over this nasty cold flu thing going on that I've had for a week now. It got better but yesterday suddenly got much worse. So Mr. Hyper DRAGGED me to the clinic and I got a fargin lecture from doc that my throat looks like ground hamburger and that it WOULDN'T of gotten better without medicine. SIGH. So no work outside, no bike riding, no nothing though I did sneak out to water the greenhouse seeds and snap a couple pictures.

And here they are...My tulips are finally blooming. Aren't they great?

I think they really out did themselves this year.
OK...so those aren't my tulips at all. Those are tulips outside the hospital where I work. I WISH they were mine!


All I have in the way of tulips to look at is this leftover from last year, which was nothing to brag about then, either.

Still...it's something.

I think I like the pansies better.

Oh, And Mr. Hyper thinks we really should adopt Mooch the cat, get him taken care of and snipped and all that since obviously he plans on sticking around and spraying my greenhouse!

That means he needs a real name. I'm thinking Boxcar Willie. What do you think?
