It must be spring
fever because I am sitting here and have no idea what to write about!
At the time of this
writing, I “should” be outside working in the yard or garden. On the one hand, it’s still a little early,
yet on the other hand, the weather is so nice.
I did go out one day
and started putting the second layer of gravel on my labyrinth path - the task
I didn’t get done last year.
I “should” also be
spring cleaning the house, but housework never goes away so I always figure if
it has to wait a day or two (or weeks) it won’t hurt anything.
I “should” pull out
my bike and get some more exercise after the limited activity of winter - we
didn’t even really have a lot of snow to shovel. After two great summers of biking, my bike
didn’t even see the light of day last year, so fingers crossed I feel well
enough to try again this year.
I “should” be
sorting my seeds for the garden and making of list of what I need to buy and
what seedlings I should get. Though, I
prefer to do that just before I need to put them in the ground as there is no
point having everything in place too early.
I “should” be doing
my income tax. Thankfully, when I do get
to it, it will be fairly quick and straightforward.
I “could” be having
an afternoon nap - and I’d probably feel better if I did, but I haven't been
able to nap during the day since I was a preschooler.
I “could” be
working on any of my umpteen unfinished projects around the house.
There is LOTS I “should” or “could” be doing - besides getting this Ponderings written for you to read - but truthfully, the only thing I feel like doing is curling up in the chair by the sunny window and listening to the birds sing, so that’s just what I’ll do.
