Started tree shift to Easter eggs, mostly Ukrainian, and finished this morning after a nice walk fo Minni who is now napping in the doorway sun. Too if door screen is letting in pollen (9.1 for ash trees and juniper),but we spend so much time shut in, that we will live with it.

Thanks for the start, Chele. Has most of your snow melted? Enjoy your warmer temps. I hope they don't mess with your sinuses.
Linda, interesting Covid article. I doubt that many people around here would pay any attention to what it says. They don't want to be inconvenienced and think it's all behind us anyway. Dale and I were just talking yesterday about how not even doctor's offices wearing masks now, let alone the general public. So you don't have St. Patrick's decorations for the tree? It has to be difficult to decorate the tree multiple times each year with no assistance. But it's pretty. I hope your pollen count will decrease quickly so you can get some relief. Those "snow bunnies" are having way too much fun.
I guess you had more rain yesterday, Kathy, because the UT softball game was canceled. I did see about Daytona being rescheduled to today. I hope the inclement weather has moved out for you. How much rain did you get?
We had a different instructor at iTone this morning and she wasn't particularly organized and the workout was a lot tougher than usual. A couple of people even left during the class and most of the rest of us were making up our own modifications, which she had to notice. I hope those who left will come back. One of them has only been coming for about a month and is probably in her late 20s and about 60 lbs overweight, so this has been really good for her. I also called to make the eye surgeon appointment this morning. The guy the optomitrist referred me to was booked through July. But they have a new doc who works out of my local office who has the expertise to deal with my problem and I see him this Friday morning. All their patient forms are online, so I was able to fill out and print them, so they didn't even have to mail me anything. We had no plans for Friday because it's supposed to be raining all day. So that couldn't have worked out better. I have MG meeting tonight, so I'll be back tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good evening.

We have lots of Valentine Day and St Pat's Day stuff, but I am sick of doing it.
after eggs we will have birds, flowers, butterflies, a combo of two . No ocean summer stuff. Nothing until Sept fall stuff. I would love to tape the tree stand bottom of the tree to a board.. Pull a tree cover over it and Dolly it to the garage for the summer.
Hope your class gets a better teacher! That is no fun.
Yeah. It takes forever to get a good eye dr who can also do surgery.

Linda, the tree looks beautiful. I would need a ladder for a tree that tall. I’d probably just leave the lights on it, leave it where it is and not decorate it. Love the snow bunnies. I leave windows open in early spring before the pollen gets too bad. I like to “air” the house out.
Karen, I used to hate it when an instructor assumed you were at an advanced level. I hope the students weren’t permanently intimidated. Good news on getting an appointment this Friday instead of July. Have a good meeting.
Kathy, I hope you’re drying out today.
Iggy hurt his back again, so I was on cooking duty. I just sautéed a bunch of vegetables that I had to chop. (Iggy usually chops for me.) I put them over noodles and sprinkled a little Romano on top. Tomorrow I am picking up carryout from somewhere. Maybe fish tacos. I am not in a cooking mood for so e reason.
