Odd yet very pleasant . . .

 

We've suffered through a rash of grey days. This morning was not an exception. I'm nursing some kind of dry cough cold that just won't break up so I lessened my exercises and listened to two CDs, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, for two and half hours! Then the sun came out, the sky turned bright blue and the temperature reached 60 degrees. I went out to pick up branches that had fallen across the top of the hill. After an hour the sky was completely covered with clouds once again and the temperature is falling. Glad I went out.  Even got in some swinging on Kiddo's dogwood tree swing as the garage swing has been put away for the winter. Now the wind is up and we're back to grey. Puppies' Pop even threw 33% at horseshoes and went flying too.

Went out for dinner with Oneco friends last night at The Tavern on Main in Chepatchet, RI on Route 44. It's and old stage coach inn that has been turned into a bar and restaurant. Very old. Made me remember The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.  Here's the link, I think! http://www.tavernonmainri.com/aboutus.htm The food was very good. They even had fresh popovers! You don't see that often at home or in a restaurant. Hearty fare.Didn't stay out late as I'm still dragging and moping! I hate feeling like something the cat dragged in as Ma would say! I'm supposed to see my card playing cousine tomorrow and my younger sister Wednesday but I may have to cancel so I don't carry this crazy cough bug to them. Cousine had the flu over Christmas and I don't want to spread germs to either of them. Our Oneco friends cannot go to visit their parents because the convalescent home has been closed to visitors. Rough going this year.
