Lazy day on the prairie today. Not quite as warm as it was yesterday. The wind is in a big hurry again today though. Got a text from emergency services telling me I am in a high fire alert area. I think they even used the word catastrophic fire danger. A bit scary as my local fire department doesn’t have the equipment to fight a fire on this house.
Finished knitting another shawl this morning while I watched a video. Make the time go fast and I enjoy movies better if my hands are busy. May start another shawl or blanket this afternoon. Love getting this yarn worked up.
Got the light fixtures in the dining room and kitchen cleaned yesterday. They are clear glass and difficult to reach to clean. I love when they are clean and sparkling but don’t like to clean them as it involves a ladder. I always get window cleaner in my eyes as it drips down on me. It is hard to get them clean without them streaking and it is hard to tell if they are streak free while I am under them.
Sure wish it was time to mow my yard. I feel like getting out on the mower. Maybe I will just ride it up and down the driveway! I really need to find something productive to do. Left to my own devices I can get into trouble!
Got my taxes back from my accountant Friday. I signed the permission slip so he can E-File them. Should take about three weeks to get my money back from the Fed but who knows how long from Kansas. Good to have that project wrapped up for this year. Grateful I am getting money back and don’t owe anything.
Tomorrow I have an appointment to get the oil changed in my car at the service station in Cottonwood Falls. I so appreciate the fact that they vacuum my car out and wash the exterior as part of their service.
Sometime next week I need to go to the lab in Emporia to have blood drawn so they can check my thyroid levels.
Sitting in a quiet head space again today. The wind is wearing on me a bit but I need to get used to that as the forecast shows high winds for the next couple of days.
Kathy is leaving Friday for a three-week trip or longer back east. She is bringing a friend back with her who is going to stay here for a couple of weeks.
Spring is coming to the prairie. My tulips are starting to pop their heads out of the ground. I think spring is my favorite season. Can’t wait for the spring rains to arrive and the grass to start turning green.
Grateful for a lazy day on the prairie, grateful my taxes are done and grateful I have nothing urgent on my to-do list so I can enjoy this empty space.
