“The first blooms of spring always make my heart sing.”

Cowboy didn't set the clocks ahead when he went to bed last night.
He thought they would change on their own.
But the clocks didn’t change, and we were an hour behind.

Thankfully, Heron came in at 8:30 a.m. to shower before going to his girlfriend’s house, and that woke us up.
If he hadn’t, Cowboy would have missed morning church services.
Even I was sound asleep for once.
Of course, yesterday it would have only been 7:30 a.m., so I didn’t really sleep in.

I like daylight saving time because the evenings stay light longer, but it makes the day feel shorter.
Or maybe I'm just a nut.

Today was chilly and rainy.
It was 16 degrees cooler today than yesterday.
You could tell it, too.

That's just Tennessee for you. 
Sometimes we even go through all four seasons in one day.

My pear tree seems to have flowered overnight, and the neighbor's daffodils suddenly bloomed.
They're pretty to see when we're outside.

I don’t seem to have had any flowers survive the winter.
If it wasn’t for the pear tree, my yard would still be all dead and brown.

Cowboy went to morning and evening services. 
He rarely misses a Sunday.

It was mostly a take‑a‑nap, watch‑TV, play‑on‑the‑computer sort of day.
To be honest, it felt good not doing anything.

While Cowboy was at evening service, the rain finally stopped, and Badger and I took a walk around our block just to enjoy some fresh air and get out of the house.

We came home, and Cowboy got back from church.
We ate supper, and I’ve actually sat in the living room with Cowboy, kind of halfway watching TV.

I’m heading to bed, though.
I want to finish reading my book.
