From Winter to Mid Summer

 There is a wild switcheroo approaching, for mother's day weekend.

We may be in the 90's.  Are you shocked?   I am happy.

I've been holed up since Smolder's passing.   Received some kind words online.  Longed to chat with someone, found no one.   I don't have friends left who I actually talk to in person or over the phone.  I might get a text or facebook message, but nothing else.  I finally gave myself a pep talk, that this is the way it is, and that's that, either mope or understand its the way it is and face up to things myself.  You don't need a support system, I told myself rather sternly, since I do not have one.   

So I holed up and dealt with my sadness. and will deal with it for awhile, as I always do.

The sun shone yesterday.  Temps in low 70's.  I weed ate the backyard and cat yard.  Not as easy for me these days.  Looks nice though.

I may put up the kiddy pool today, to prepare for the 90 degree heat.   Why not, I thought.

The reservoir is still 20 feet too low to even look inviting.   They can't start filling it til mid May, due to the lawsuit.  Only one boat ramp open and barely.  It's one of the steep ones.  They just dumped a lot of doomed hatchery trout in the water that's there.   It's like catching tame cats to catch a hatchery trout.  Human fed all their lives, at designated times.  No real clue how to survive when suddenly dumped into a larger body of water. 

Half the people who catch these trout never eat them.  I sure know a lot of such people.   I don't like trout or bass, so would never fish for them.  But a lot of people fish to fish, not to eat, a practise I find disturbing and wasteful of life.

Anyhow, going off track.

Warm weather coming.  Be here by Friday, I believe it is.
