First Day of Spring

It's the first day of spring, and even though it started out partly sunny and mild, later in the afternoon it got a bit windy-cool. There are winter weather advisories for the western part of the state, but we are expecting only rain and colder temps in our town.

Slept late this morning, until around 8 a.m., then did a treadmill session after breakfast. Mother came over later and made greeting cards. Once I was ready for the day, I continued working on the scrapbook pages I'd begun at our meeting last Thursday. Our new great-grandson is the subject of the pages, of course.

For lunch, I put noodles in the broth left from our boiled chicken dinner earlier this week. Daughter and Granddaughter will appreciate that we had chicken noodle soup without chicken again...and we did it on purpose this time.

After lunch, I went on a photo safari around our yard to take pictures of flowers in bloom. Took lots of shots of the daffodills (see previous blog). Besides daffodils and jonquils, the hyacinth, hellebores and forget-me-nots are also blooming.

Continued scrapbooking after that until time to prepare supper. Supper was easy tonight, since we had leftover lasagna. Served this with salad, using one of the tomatoes and some of the lettuce I bought at the hydroponic farm, along with canned whole kernel corn, and mini wheat bagels toasted with margarine blended with herbs and Parmesan cheese.

Mother went home after supper, and Hubbie and I settled in to watch TV, as usual. We saw the movie, "Shadowheart," a 2009, PG-13, western starring Justin Ament, Daniel Baldwin, and Courtney Gains. After a teenage boy sees his father killed, he leaves town. As a man, after he serves in the Civil War, he returns to his hometown to find the girl he left behind, and deal with the bad guy land baron who killed his father.
