Finally. we are getting some nice weather.  The winter has been dark, cold and endless.  The winter lasted so long I started bonding with my snow blower - and there is something evil about that.  Worse yet, I've gotten snow blower envy for my neighbors snow blower.  However, today there is no snow and the weather is warm and the sky is blue!  This morning I had to run out to do a few errands and I noticed the following things people were doing on this nice day.

1. spreading mulch - nice smell, hard job,
2. shopping at yard sales - Antiques Roadshow here I come,
3. picking up debris in the yard - "wait a minute, didn't this come from the neighbors yard" 
4. trimming old plants from last year's garden,
5. taking a ride on the motorcycle - as I get older this gets more and more appealing,
6. spreading fertilizer - no way, this only enables #7,
7. mowing the yard - way to early for this in my opinion,
8. sitting in the sun and drink iced tea - maybe this is what I did.

I also got plenty of time to work on a new manuscript idea, an adventure for 9-12 year olds, titled, The Sacred Mountain.  This is step out of my children's picture book norm.  We'll see how it goes. 

But, tonight is tough.  Do I watch the Ten Commandments or the Final Four Basketball Games?  It would make it so much easier if Charlton Heston was coaching one of the teams or if Moses was referee at the basketball games.  Decisions, decisions.
