May 17

Welcome to May 17th, the day I build a fire to warm up the house while snow is flurrying around outside.
Usually my husband builds fires at night just to keep the boiler from coming on to save on heating fuel costs. That usually stops around the first week of May. Not this year. Many have started calling this Macember.
This is the type of weather that really gets me down. Dreary yet light outside and chilly. I know that December-February will be dark and cold.  This gives me SAD more than winter. Fortunately,  the forecast says 60° next week. Here's to hopping they got that one right since they got this one correct.
Anyone for baseball tomorrow? Yep the baseball playing Blessings are scheduled to play tomorrow.
In other news, wacky storm systems somewhere have caused an influx of migratory birds that normally do not stop here  to stop in on our neck of the woods. And I guess there are crazy numbers and a variety of species. I wondered what was going on when I saw some snipe shore birds hanging around our puddles that I have not seen in our yard before.
Now, where's my parka, mittens and wool hat? I'm off to watch baseball or look for birds tomorrow.
