Arrived at my now home in Florida.
Glad you got your house on the market, and made it home (Florida!) safely.

Took the pugs to the dog beach today. That's such a blast! But at one point one of the sisters squatted to pee in the sand, and all we could see was blood. Ended up spending a couple of hours at the emergency vet. Severe urinary tract infection. So now we've got antibiotics and she should be OK. But if we hadn't gone to the beach we might not have known until she got much worse, since she goes outside in the grass and we wouldn't have been able to see it. Lucky.
Around here our Fish & Game Department recommends taking down bird feeders at this time of years as the bears come out of hibernation and are quite hungry.
The local forsythia bushes are coming into bloom, and that's the signal for the first weed spaying around here, so that's what I did. Filled up the four gallon backpack sprayer and had at the weeds that are sprouting. I'll have to do that two or three more times before it gets too warm to have an effect.
In a few days I'll have to mow for the first time this year.

Did my annual ritual of taking the snow blade off the tractor and replacing it with the mower deck. Mowed the lawn. Gorgeous day for it, so I didn't really mind. Like Philliefan33, it seems like the snow was just here yesterday.
Saw the first dandelion in bloom in the front yard. Oh, joy!
Ronstar, that sounds like you had a great day!
Just watched the original version of the Sound of Music. Pretty interesting. I can see why Rodgers and Hammerstein changed the story some.

Back from my usual workout. Poking through thre internets for music found the owner of a voice that I heard in Aleutians in the 70 ies. Someone had a tape playing, and the voice stuck in my head ever since. As did the song. It is IMHO the most beoutiful woman's singing voice.
Well anyhoo it turns out that voice belongs to an Aussie singer who now is in her seventies. Judith Durham of the the band then she was with, the Seekers. The tune was 500 miles. And I was more than 5000 miles from home.

Thanks for the link. I remember seeing this at primary school during history class. Must watch it again. I visited Salzburg in 2014 so many locations will now be familiar.
