Word of the Day

Silly-bo-dilly - A person who is either oblivious to a situation or causes some attraction that appears funny and/or ridiculous. Usually used in a friendly manner.


The weather has turned....icky. Soft weather. It's raining, drizzling, dreary. I'm thinking fire in the fireplace. We had planned to make a trip into the city to visit Ma and T-Square and check out the new Gordy's but Ma called to cancel, citing the dreariness of the weather. It's actually going to be this "soft" for a few days. I'm hoping for some storminess to break up the dreariness but, as a stated previously, this is a fire in the fireplace kind of day. We are going to go out and do some much needed shopping today but we'll probably wait to see Ma and T-Square and check out the Gordy's until next week.

Despite the weather...or because of it...I noticed as I was gazing out the window this morning that the trilliums are starting to bloom out in the woods and my dwarf irises are putting in an appearance too. Beautiful!
