March Blahs!

-
I am falling into bad habits again.  I meant to write more frequently and I have not been doing that.  We are approaching the middle of March - and we are again waiting for snow to fall tonight.  Hopefully it will not be what is predicted - 4 to 8 inches.  Our bathroom has been completed for about a month now - and we are still happy with it.  Now it is time to put on a new roof and gutters.   The contract has been signed.  Kristin has started a new job - I have two more weeks until spring break.  I have been trying to clean up the guest room in anticipation of Mom coming for Easter.  That is life these days.  Looking forward to warmer weather so I can get out and walk.  After standing outside for an hour in the cold at lunch - I really don't feel like walking much later.   I am looking forward to going to Cape Cod for spring break to visit Mom.  Finished the month of February with February birthday celebrations - dinner at Maggiano's downtown.  Anna joined us which was nice.  Looking forward to another family get together.


Taken on March 12th - supposedly had over 6 feet of snow over the entire winter.
Beye School's playground today.

Old Main behind the leaves Tredway Library  Enjoyed a great day wandering around Augie's campus and a few other Rock Island places.  The weather was cool, the sun was bright and there was a fall feeling in the air.  We walked down by the slough path - there was a lull in the regatta slough races so we wandered up the other side of the slough.  Walked to the top of the path and discovered new residence halls - Parkander North and Parkander South.  Walked back down the path, wandered into Old Main and Denkmann Library - both buildings we spent lots of time in while we were students at Augie.  Had lunch at Brew by the Slough - the coffee bar located in the library building.  Continued our walk on the other side of slough - from down campus to up campus - wandered past Westerlin Hall and walked by Ryden House which was Ruthven House when I lived there my senior year of college.  Drove around Rock Island a little bit afterwards - by Sunset ...

Enjoying the Backyard!

We have probably spent more time so far this summer sitting on our patio or the deck and enjoying our backyard than we have in previous summers. The biggest reason for this is that we have been home much more with nowhere to go. Both Paul and I have been enjoying watching the different birds that come to feed at the bird feeders. We have also watched a couple of rabbits and lots of squirrels. We have added more flowers to the yard and flowering bushes. It has changed quite a bit in the seven years we have lived in the house.     Backyard Photos
