Welcome Spring

Spring is here! Wahoo! Soon the grass will be green, flowers will be blooming, and the ducks will be making their rounds through the neighborhood. Easter loves watching the duckies go by. And by Easter, I mean me. I've usually got my face pressed up against the window as soon as I hear their first quacks. Today was a lovely first day of spring..... to nap. I've been fighting a head cold and today was the day I admitted defeat. Sore throat, runny nose, watery eyes, and pressure in my ears. Easter and I slept in late today, and when we finally pulled ourselves from bed, I figured we had better keep moving because if I sat down, I'd be down for the count. We went for our morning walk, and then we headed out to do our Sunday errands, which included a stop at the dog food store. Easter tagged along and loved every second. We made great time! I accomplish so much more when I just want to get home! By the time we made it home, I was exhausted all over again. I made sure Easter had a full tummy and an empty bladder, and settled onto the couch. The tv droned on about something and my eye lids began to get heavier and heavier. Finally, I succumbed to the temptation of the nap. And it was a perfect afternoon nap. Except for the part where I woke myself up while talking in my sleep. I'm an odd one. I once woke myself up because I was moaning in my sleep. I thought there was a cow moo-ing in my room. Nope, just me. I woke up, made a little dinner, and settled in for my favorite Sunday programs! And now I'm in bed, writing this blog for you fine folks that read this crap, and I'm thinking it's about time to do a little reading and head back off to sleep. Who knows... maybe this time I'll wake myself up quacking in my sleep.
