I was looking forward to the writing workshop yesterday afternoon, so I wrote a poem about spring. But I got a call that it was cancelled--Sara was sick. I hope she is better soon.

My Dad brought a load of manure for the garden and stayed for about an hour. He worked on his computer and peeled a winter squash for me while I put some bread to rise. Then I drove him home and met Deb for lunch at Lumpkin Cafe. We had a good time and then we wandered down to Suska to look at clothes, since there was no writing workshop. I was half-heartedly looking for something to wear for the wedding. They had some fun things, but very few in my size. I did find a cute skirt for $15. Deb says I can wear it to the rehearsal dinner, but it is a dancing skirt...I could possibly wear it to the wedding with the right top. if my daughters approved.

I drove home. It was cloudy, breezy and cool, but nice when the sun was out. My Dad drove back and worked in the garden some more, until he got into fire ants and came rushing in, shedding clothes. I suggested he get right in the tub, which he did. He will be itchy today and tomorrow.

I went to pick up Ray at the bus and we came home. I had a good start on supper: chicken teriyaki from the freezer and winter squash souffle, with frozen broccoli. Captain went home and Ray and I had an early supper. It was about 6 when we sat down to watch TV and I didn't fall asleep. After 3 programs, we stopped watching TV and went to our computers. About 9:30, I went up to read and that put me right to sleep.
