ismoThis morning, we enjoyed another unexpected weather event--but a harmless one this time--a thick fog over all the land. And when it dissipated as the sun rose, it revealed green everywhere. Suddenly everything is green. I saw a very large brindled bunny hopping around in the undergrowth. After three days of doing very little, I'm finally starting to feel better. I'm also in the process of cutting my dose of spironolactone in half, to see if my stomach will hurt less. So far, my blood pressure remains good. I don't know for sure if the medication is exacerbating my stomach problems, but I'm pretty sure that it is. It's worth a try, anyway.
I put various things away, made the bed, answered email, etc. etc., and then got ambitious and did a shopping trip, which I haven't done in awhile. I got half a pork loin for 1.97 a pound. I feel very disloyal whenever I buy pork products from anyone but our cherished farm ladies and their happy pigs, but 1.97 a pound is hard to resist. That's cheaper than lettuce.
We sat out on the back porch for the first time this year. I would have liked to sit in the yard, but I realized that the ground is still so wet that lawn chairs would simply sink into the swamp. We enjoyed the songs of house sparrows, cardinals, and goldfinches. And also the annoying roar of some misguided individual's massive leaf blower. What are ya gonna do. Make use of the opportunity to practice patience. The cardinal was so bright and sang with total commitment and sincerity. If I could write like that, I'd consider myself well off. Of course, he's singing to find a mate, and I already have one of those, so I can't help but be a little more complacent than our red-jacketed friend. I made an egg dish for supper, with mushrooms, potatoes, peppers, parsley, and cheese, and some blueberry salsa and tomatoes on the side.
