I can't believe I'm still wearing sweats and we've got the heater on. I love it, but I'm afraid that once I go home I'll have a terrible adjustment time. I've never been good with heat and humidity, so I usually try to keep active outdoors to acclimate myself as the heat descends. <BR/><BR/>Am I complaining? Sorry. I know you're sick of snow -- I'd heard it was coming. Hang in there. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-26391450274382227982008-04-08T14:32:00.000-05:002008-04-08T14:32:00.000-05:00So nice to see a post from you today.

Ours are just beginning to bloom. Of course, we haven't seen the last of winter yet. We're supposed to get snow on Friday. :(<BR/><BR/>Take care!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-84697527764630584842008-04-08T13:23:00.000-05:002008-04-08T13:23:00.000-05:00Nikki,No squirrels in Italy?

And when I went home for Christmas I had a freak-out-excitement-attack when I saw my first one.

It's probably a good thing he got to chase a rabbit, since we had storms all night and nobody wants to go out and play with the dog when it's muddy. I tossed Buddy's toy for a while, yesterday, and actually managed to wear him out a little. Shocking! LOL<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed The Olive Season. I hope you like the book as much as I did, if you do read it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks. It was nice to finally just get out long enough to take photos. Hopefully, I'll have plenty of time to fill in the blank spots in some of the other posts, this week. <BR/><BR/>Booklogged,<BR/><BR/>I liked the lighting on the squirrel's tail, too, thanks. Wow, it's hard to believe you're still getting snow. We've had lots of vicious storms. I'm getting spoiled on the cool temps in OK. Back home, the humidity level is 100% and it's supposed to hit the 80's. Yurgh. It's just 50 degrees, here. I'm in a sweatshirt! Weird!<BR/><BR/>Wendy,<BR/><BR/>Thanks; it was so nice to get out. <BR/><BR/>You know, I think Buddy is just so eager for someone to come out and play with him that he spends most of his time pacing around, peeking in to see if anyone's ready to play, and wishing. LOL He did chase a rabbit, this morning. I missed seeing that. Maybe that's a good thing. I'd probably end up worrying about the rabbit.<BR/><BR/>I threw Buddy's toy for quite a while, yesterday -- long enough that he actually got to the point he wasn't sure he wanted to fetch. My sister was so surprised. She said, "Hey, he actually looks kind of tired," when I walked in. LOL<BR/><BR/>Nat,<BR/><BR/>Thank you. I had such fun. You'd probably love the current background image on my laptop -- a close up of some buds on a redbud tree. They're all pink and pretty. <BR/><BR/>Buddy is definitely a bundle of energy. I don't care for the muddy paw-prints on my pants and the dog-slobber smell, but I like playing with him. When I told my sister I smelled like dog slobber, yesterday, she said, "Well, that makes you part of the family." Hahaha. I like the lack of stink on a cat. ;)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-90546762542027145362008-04-08T09:25:00.000-05:002008-04-08T09:25:00.000-05:00Glad that you were able to take a little time out ...Glad that you were able to take a little time out on the weekend.

It's good that Buddy lets you squirrel watch. :-) I"m not sure my dog would be so nice about it--unless you are playing fetch with him.

This morning I noticed he was sitting beside the fence, watching the neighbor work on his garden, again. He just loves people and wants to be as close to anyone as he can get.<BR/><BR/>I know how you feel. I've been reading, but only sporadically, so it's been a slumpy month. By the end of the day, I'm often so tired I'm literally staggering. You don't read much when you can't see straight. But, like you, I keep piling up more acquisitions. I decided to let the book diet go until life eases up. <BR/><BR/>Hope your reading picks up, soon. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-60298033418590631322008-04-07T13:22:00.000-05:002008-04-07T13:22:00.000-05:00Good to hear from you :) That is the cutest little...Good to hear from you :) That is the cutest little dog. I know I've said that before, but he's just cute...Sounds like you and him get along fine! I'm having a really slow start to my April reading. Though I think I'll finish my first book of the month tonight. I don't know what's going on this year, but I've been in a non-stop reading slum! Yet the TBR pile continues to grow...Hope things are going well for you over there.chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-78108797669209368012008-04-07T12:46:00.000-05:002008-04-07T12:46:00.000-05:00Stephanie,It was soooo nice to feel the sun on my ...Stephanie,<BR/><BR/>It was soooo nice to feel the sun on my shoulders. I'm glad spring has finally arrived farther north! I know how anxious you were to see signs of spring. :)<BR/><BR/>Andi,<BR/><BR/>Buddy is definitely adorable. You'd love him. And, I know he'd have a rolicking fine time with Daisy. He seems to have one particular favorite dog on the neighborhood walking path. They sniff each other and wag, wag, wag, but they both look just a touch dismal about the fact that she can't come out of her fenced area to play. It's been over a week since I walked him, though. Yep, that nasty weather. And, more to come.
