Early snow crocus. It was in bloom on Monday, Feb. 6th with more buds coming. I put a basket fence around it to protect it from squirrel or what ever at the bud the week before. There is a problem though. Now that I have the deck, I go in and out the back door and don't see the crocuses that are along the front walk. I will have to plant more in the fall. It was 20 degrees this morning so winter is still here. I saw a flock of Robins and thought, "Oh good, the Robins are back, a sure sign of spring." Then I rethought, "Robins leave the flock in spring and the males start building their nest. They are territorial so they would not be in a flock if it were spring." Bummer.

Thursday was a busy day for me. Exercise at 9am. Help with preparing the fellowship dinner at 3:30. Jeannie had hotdogs and French Fries ready to be cooked. Her granddaughter, Jamie, made a full sheetcake pan of brownies to be served with ice cream and chocolate syup. Jeannie brought pickles and relish she had made an oh boy were they good. I looked around for what I could do and there sat two onions waiting to be diced. I hate doing onions but it needed to be done. I was fortunate that the fumes didn't get into my eyes. I also got the coffee ready. Carol came to help so I was off to Yoga class at 5:30 then back to Trinity Church for dinner. Jeannie gave me a hugh slice of brownie with a generous serving of ice cream for my dessert. Pastor Mark was away so Jeannie, Carol, and I did our Bible Study together. Choir practice was at 7:30. Only five of us showed up including the organist and director. None of the men were there. I hope they show up on Sunday as the men start out singing the first page before the ladies join in.

I was beat when I got home. Erin said that Danny didn't eat his dinner so I gave him at treat and then he ate all his food. Sometimes a treat stimulates his appetite or if he sees he's not getting any table food, he goes away and pouts. Erin had soup for supper. I did see a tiny piece of white bread in his bowl but he won't eat white bread. He only eats wheat or whole grain bread. He must know something that we don't.
