Beautiful Sunday

Not much to talk about today.   It is really a beautiful Sunday.  Gorgeous and sunny.  And warm!  Well, relatively warm.  It's barely hit 70, but after another week of cloudy gloom and sub-freezing temperatures, it's pretty wonderful to have low 70s and I'll take it.

This is my flowering quince.  You can see that it's just beginning to bloom.  Last year at this time it was in full bloom so the cold temperatures this year have made it a little slow.  I'm hoping we don't get another freeze and kill the flowers that are now coming out.  You can see in the lower picture that everything else is still quite dormant.   I think I'll keep my surviving aloe vera in the house for a bit yet.

I got a bid from my lawn service to replace the shrubbery damaged (killed) by the foundation repair work.  I decided to have it done by professionals rather than struggle with it myself.  I suppose I could be lazy also.  I'm waiting to hear from them as to when they want to do it.

Yesterday I went to the National Reptile Breeder's Association Convention, which happens to be being held this weekend in Arlington.  It was quite interesting.  I can honestly say I've never seen so many snakes in one place at one time.  Nor so many colors and varieties.  And turtles, and lizards and frogs.  It was amazing.  Although I thought I maybe wouldn't be able to leave there without buying a bearded dragon, I managed to resist the urge for a while longer.   The chameleons and various monitor lizards were also pretty cool, but I suspect if I get a lizard, I'll stick to the bearded dragons.   Other types are significantly more aggressive than the laid-back bearded dragons.

My friend who went with me yesterday didn't escape the lure.  She went home with a little Ball Python.  He's gorgeous - piebald.  I kind of knew she'd succumb because she's talked for years about getting another one. She had a snake years before.

Not much else going on.  I think I may have missed my dose of INH yesterday.  I honestly can't remember if I took it or not.  Oh well, if I come to the end of 180 days with an extra pill this month, I'll know I missed that day.  *laughing*  Okay, I'm a little slow.  I went and counted the pills.  I have twenty-six left and I'm on my fourth day of the month.  Obviously I took the pill yesterday.  I don't know why I was fretting about it.  Even if I missed one day out of nine months it wouldn't be a big deal.  I just didn't want to mess up my perfect record.

Time to go exercise.  Later.
