I can deal with the current 43 degrees, knowing it will be 69 degrees by day’s end. The trees have begun to bud, and perennials are trying to figure out if winter has taken wing.

It was a slow, uneventful weekend filled with resting, loving on five wonderful pooches, watching documentaries, and some household attention. Saturday evening, Mama Kay, Laura, and I went to El Toro for dinner, and until it was time to teach on Sunday, that was the only human contact I had since Friday evening.

In 1865, Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the succeeding states, fell on April 2. The next week is filled with incredible historic moments from The Civil War, the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the sinking of the Titanic, President Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, and Lincoln’s death and funeral.

This week is slightly less busy, and I am okay with that.

I felt like I got a good night’s sleep but as I sit here to write this blog post I am yawning and feeling the desire to return to bed, which, of course, I cannot. Hopefully, the shower will give me some drive.

Make it a great day!
