It's getting cold again

I knew if I cleaned up my yard the weather would change. It's not freezing or anything drastic like that but we're back to "The wind chill is..." temperatures. Current wind chill is 40. Classic.

It hasn't rained but the sky is that ugly steel gray color that usually brings snowshowers/sleet combo-type precipitation. I'm just hoping for plain old rain and making some cocoa. At least if we do get any cold weather type precipitation and crap... it won't be around for long. Then again... there were places in the Dakotas that got 24" of snow. It hurts my head just to think about it.

Ludie is snoring so loud on the bed that I had to turn my music on. He hasn't been sleeping well because I haven't been sleeping well. Poor baby... it must really confuse him when I have to keep moving throughout the night. But, being a cat he probably just thinks I'm insane.

There is a pair of robins building a nest in the rafters of my carport. I wonder if they're the same pair from last year? Hopefully this year the damn crows won't get the babies. I was just sick when those bastards got them. If I wasn't within the city there'd have been many a dead crow around my place. They also killed the female cardinal and the cardinal baby. I hate them!

When I was visiting my friend over Easter I loved sitting on her porch and watching all the different birds... probably the prettiest is the pair of Bluebirds they have. They're lucky to have a nesting pair... their setting is rural/wooded enough to surpass the delicate nature and nervousness of birds that generally avoid urban settings.

I guess I should get in gear and get some things done. At the very least the weekend may be rainy so I should finish up outside. Of course, if I put it off... I'll have the excuse of... "Oh... bummer. It's raining and I can't work outside... guess I'll just have to read my new book!"

Yeah well... who can forget the quote from "The Big Chill"? "Try to make it through the day without a rationalization!" (or something like that...) Hey... is that snow I see or do I need to clean my glasses?!
