Winter Summer Spring Fall...

...all in the span of three days. On Sunday I woke up late, it was warm, then by late afternoon it was very cold, about twenty-five degrees. The hummingbird food froze yesterday morning then it warmed up to about forty degrees. Then yesterday afternoon it rained, but only for a few minutes. We really need more rain.

I haven't done anything useful in the past few days except read some stuff. I did read one book that was interesting, called Whole Grains, Empty Promises, by Anthony Colpo. It's a good source for looking into studies that show that whole grains are really a load of bunk.

I need to fill up the deer feeder but haven't gotten around to it.  I need to get the oil changed in my car, but it always takes so long I've been putting it off. And it's so coooollllddddd... *brrrrrrr*

The in-laws are leaving for Venice, Italy tomorrow. I have to take them to the airport. They go every year and rent an apartment for a week and a half. We have to take care of their dogs while they are gone. The dogs are a pack of idiots. A couple of them are crazy, especially Rosie the chihuahua. Of all dogs, chihuahuas are my least favorite. They're so yippy. I love labs, they're quiet and sweet and want to cuddle. Chihuahuas want to rip your face off. The dogs are really a handful, but we love them anyway.

I woke up this morning (actually it was after noon, on Sundays I don't set an alarm and get up when I wake up) and realized that I really needed to blow out my computer with some canned air. The thing attracts dust like there's no tomorrow. I took it out on the porch, and it was looking like it might rain. It was about sixty degrees. I came back in and cleaned off my desk, for the first time in months. I should really keep it cleaner, but I've always been the sort who 'has better things to do' than clean. After breakfast I noticed that the temperature had dropped to fifty-five. Right now, it's thirty degrees, and I just checked the weather and it's supposed to be twenty-five tonight! It was nearly ninety the other day. At any rate, good thing I cleaned out my computer first thing. We didn't get any rain, which really sucks. We need rain badly.

That is all I have accomplished today. Breakfast and cleaning my desk and computer. I feel like I should do something, but it's cold outside. That's a good excuse right?
