Warm Spring Weather

82 degrees in April?  In Idaho?  Setting aside thoughts of global warming, I am enjoying this beautiful, sunny day.  My arthritic body is much happier in the warm weather.  This morning I walked outside to enjoy our huge bushes of lilacs that are in full bloom.  The lovely fragrance is the first thing that hit me.  I stood there for a few minutes, admiring the various shades of purple.

The birds have been singing all day.  Perhaps they are enjoying the weather too.  Our birdhouse has been checked out by both chickadees and sparrows.  We’re not sure which ones will take possession of it.


This afternoon I spent some time in the front yard cutting off dead branches and pulling weeds.  I only spent about an hour at this task but the warm sun felt wonderful on my back and the front of my house looks so much better. The weather forecast is for even warmer weather tomorrow.  I plan to take advantage of it.
