What a crappy time to have summertime allergies kicking my butt! Friday and yesterday was the sinus dripping and draining, raw throat, and blowing my nose every five blasted minutes. Today my nose is plugged up, I'm coughing up crud and still blowing every five minutes. I've already blown through a whole box of Kleenex! Enough already!!
Feeling so puny, I had to miss the first meetup yesterday of Springfield Chill Wine Drinkers at Oovvda Winery. From the posted comments, sounds like they had a fabulous time. Have you heard about this group? They are new on meetup.com and not hoity-toity wine snobs but regular folks that like hanging out and sipping wine with new friends. I can't wait to feel better and get to meet them. Some of the group are headed out to 7 C's Winery in Walnut Grove today for their Sunday free music under the tent. Get on meetup.com if you want more info. It's a great free website. You just list things you are interested in, and Meetup sends you emailed updates on groups you match and events they are having. Give it a try.
On the home front, DMan has been working like a wild man to beautify our new place. Where we had the dead trees and overgrown bushes taken out, he's planted flowers and laid down mulch. He even put in shepherd's hooks and hanging baskets with pretty petunias and mowed the yard in a swirly crop-circles pattern! If it was just me living here, we'd have big old bare spots where the bushes were, piles of dead leaves everywhere, and a yard full of scraggly weeds. I don't have an eye for fancying up the yard like he does, or the patience to do it. And I don't like to sweat nearly as much as he does! He's such a blessing. Mama also painted up a concrete turtle that had seen better days to put in our front rock garden. She decorated her up with jazzy-colored puff paints and named her "Tillie the turtle from Tijuana." Tillie does look like a turtle tart, but she adds a nice pop of color to the front of the house. Mama has quite a flair with those puff paints!
Wishing yall an allergy-free Sunday. Stay cool and crrr-azy!
