It's only 28 degrees this morning. I hate this cold weather. Yesterday we had rain, snow and sleet all day and it was so windy. Those trees were whipping in the wind. It's a wonder the squirrel's nests stay up in the trees like they do. I feel bad for the little babies that might be in them. They have to be cold. Even if the mother tries to keep them warm. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather that is supposed to be coming next week. Not going to be a very nice weekend either I guess. It might rain on Easter. Not good for all the pretty Easter Bonnets and Easter egg hunts etc.
I had such bad pain in my right hip and back last night when I went to bed. But this morning it feels better, thank heavens. I have to go out later and was so worried I wouldn't be able to. These back and hip problems are getting worse it seems. I think the pain last night was from lifting my 27 lb. jug of water onto the crock. I really shouldn't be lifting them but no one else is going to. I'm here all alone and when it's time to put a new one on there isn't anyone I can grab to do it. Besides, I've been doing it all along. Just sometimes maybe I lift it wrong. It takes a toll on my back because I can't bend my legs to lift like normal people because of the polio and not having the leg muscles. Hell! I sure have lifted heavier things in the past when I had the bar..Ha!
I have to go for now. Got to uncover my birds and get their cages clean and get them breakfast!
Hope you all have a nice weekend! Take care.
Update:
I did get out today and the sun actually was out quite a bit today! It got up to about 52 degrees. My back was bothering me a little but the more I walked the better it got. I had to go to Aubuchon Hardware for my Parina Bird chow and then I went to Walmart to pick up a few grocery items. I wasn't gone long. Not even an hour. But the fresh air felt good.
I didn't see the squirrel around her nest at all today. I could have missed her though. I'll watch for her tomorrow.
Saw the daddy fox tonight but then it was getting too dark to watch for the mommy. Can't get very good pictures when it's almost dark anyway.
Last night one of the skunks sprayed and stunk up my bedroom. I covered my head..Ha! Ha! It helps. There's only about three skunks that come around but if a male tries to get near a female she will spray him.
It's going to rain again tonight and tomorrow. Might get a few sprinkles on Easter Sunday also. But at least we have next week to look forward to. It's going to be a lot warmer. There's only one more week left of April. The time is going by so fast. But I'm happy to still be here and feeling good enough to get out now and then. I will cherish each day for I never know when it will come to an end. The trouble with me is, I know it's coming soon. Most people never know when the end might be and it comes suddenly. At least I've had warnings so I know and am prepared for it. Well. Not sure if any of us is really prepared even when we know. But at least I got a few things taken care of beforehand.
So it's off to bed soon and tomorrow is another day!
Have a great weekend everyone! Happy Easter!
