Weather & Mystery Fan

Rosey, your last post hit the target for me. We are having an early spring way down here. It seems as though we never had a winter. The rhododendron are blooming a month early. The forest is green and the wild flowers are ahead of schedule too. We recently had a freeze warning but it never materialized. I hate to think of how hot the summer will be. Al Brown was right when he accused me of having a 2 degree comfort range. That's Fahrenheit degrees.

I, too, am an unapologetic mystery fan. Thank you for endorsing Louise Penney some months ago. I found the one book of hers that I read one that I couldn't put down. I will surely read or listen to more of her work. I haven't been working out at a gym in a long time and that's where I listen to books on the IPod. It's also a good way to pass the time on a long drive. (No headphones in car of course, but most if not all cars have the ability to play the IPod or MP3 through the speakers in the car.) If you haven't tried Alan Bradley's series about the precocious 11 year old named Flavia, who is an amazing sleuth you're missing something wonderful. The series is not only gripping but very funny. I suggest reading his books in the order in which they were published as you get to know the quirky folks who populate her village.

Whelp, I need to get outdoors with the beasties before the rain which we need and appears to be nearby. I'm still in a fair amount of pain some of which is in the wrist which that doc insists is healed but the fracture caused some problem the the joint and the parts don't meet properly. It's especially painful while typing. I might take that problem to the amazing hand specialist who saved the crushed hand four years ago but need to get the shoulder finished first. Still no driving for at least three weeks. That's since 2/8 and I have an advanced case of cabin fever.
