Week Past 04/02-04/08/07
The weather has been erratic this week. Spring began two weeks ago. Yet we're back to freezing temperatures. The temp was above normal (60s to 70s) first days of the week. Now it's below normal (30 and below). A newscaster said since we're experiencing above normal temp then going below normal temp, then everything should be normal.
Wed 04/04 as I was driving out of the gym's parking area there's a farm house across the street with a pond besides it. It was frozen and I saw ducks walking on ice. Two days before, Mon 04/02, those ducks were wading and enjoying the morning sun. I can imagine those ducks talking to each other like Daffy Duck: "What's up, are we in MN or Siberia? Did somebody set the clock too early for our migration?" Fri 04/06 weatherman said it's official that 2007 had the coldest temp for the first week of April.
Sun 04/08 was Easter Sunday. After mass W and I tried the Wilds Clubhouse Sunday brunch. They were busy being Easter and a time for family gathering. We did not wait that long though to get a table since there were only two of us. I told W we should try it on "ordinary" Sunday that way we can also use their discount coupon :) and perhaps a bit "quiet". Can't complain about the food but the lines at their main buffet table were long. I was thinking of getting a second helping but decided against it and went instead to their salad and cold cuts table and dessert.
After a satisfying meal W and I decided to work in our backyard. Since it was a nice day we thought we'd start clearing some thorn bushes. Our plan was just to cut some bushes here and there. We became engrossed we didn't realize that we were at it for almost six hours. Since days are getting longer and the sun is up late it was almost seven pm when we decided to call it a day. We started a little past one pm.
