Upset!
The tree in the side yard called to me today saying, “ See my buds there almost blossoms so Spring is truly here”.
After a few days of having to fix things in before I could do the planned on chore I was getting pretty upset. First Jay and I were working on getting the barrels ready for planting. We needed to move the tractor but found the battery was dead so we had to take time out to charge it. Next we tried to hook up the mower drive shaft but that tale of woe is on Jay’s blog.
Yesterday I went to mop the kitchen, bath, and utility room floors when I noticed lint all over the utility room . I moved the dryer to find out that the vent hose had come off and there were holes in the end of it . I tried taping it and reattaching it but to no avail. I finally decided that a five mile trip to Millington Hardware was in order and took time to drive there to find another hose. I came home with a great item that takes up only two inches behind the dryer but unfortunately I could make it work with my setup . So it was back to the hardware and I ended up with an aluminium pipe that I. with Jay’s help was able to make work. The only bad things were that I wanted to plug the dryer back in before we connected the pipe but Jay said it wasn’t necessary and I ended up climbing half way over the top of the dryer to plug the darn thing in. The other bad thing was the time wasted because I ended up getting only two of the floors mopped last night and had to do the other this morning
. 
I took a walk around the house after shopping this morning and found the flowers all ready out.
The Sand Cherry that was ruined when a storm spit it’s trunk has started life again as a bush after I cut it back.
On the far side of the house the forsythia was flashing it’s yellow blooms my way. How can one stay upset when the flowers start, the sun shines, and your coat gets too warm when you stroll outside?
