It has become obvious in the last month or so that our weather forecasting has become really bad. The massive cuts at NOAA has affected the accuracy of the national weather prediction and monitoring service. But the stupid Trump cult will just blame the Democrats? Immigrants?

Those of you living in Rabun County might (like me) have checked the weather app to see how long this rain is going to last only to find that according the the weather app is isn’t raining at all.

Spring is here and we are loving the warmer weather. Of course with warmer weather comes pollen and allergy season. However the bees are buzzing and the squirrels are making nooky in the trees. So all is good today. Just as long as I don’t look at my retirement savings in the stock market!

Pennies? Apparently our President has ordered the mint to stop making pennies. For years and years I’ve read that it actually cost much more that a penny to make a penny but that the copper industry has a robust lobbying arm that has prevented this move.

The acoustic guitar is made from koa we bought on vacation in Hawaii. The electric guitar is one that he made for a friend as a copy of “Big Red” from Queen.

The wood glows outside. The outer edge is koa and the inner pieces are cherry, hickory and maple.

My husband is an incredible woodworker. He took scraps of wood from his guitar making to make me this cutting board

We have a very small and shady garden but we really enjoy the fire pit with a bottle of wine and some snacks. Can you tell I’m ready for spring!

One picture shows a bit of our bottle tree which I brought from Mississippi. The legend was that a bottle tree at the entrance of your house would catch the evil spirits. You can hear those bad spirits when you blow across the top of the bottle!

Our garden gets partial sun so my selection is limited, but when we lived in Mississippi we had a lovely flower and vegetable garden.

With the warmer weather I’m looking forward to working in our garden. Just a few weeks away and the blooms will start.

I’m down in the Stockbridge and Fayetteville area for a few days visiting family. I’m looking forward to getting away from all this traffic down here. Jeez it’s bad here.

Ice is finally melting and most roads are becoming safe to use. However beware black ice is lurking under the trees and in shady places.

@atlanta-falcons.bsky.social a lot of fans are calling for Raheem to be fired but many successful coaches had one or two years of losing years before achieving ultimate success, lets give him another year at least. However I do think Fontenot should go.

@atlantafalcons.bsky.social Does Raheem know what he is doing? I really like the guy but clock management and some of his coaches/friends are not helping the team.
