Connie's Corner

Catching up...

Here in Florida the temps have settled into the 80s for the highs everyday now so the grass is growing, and my job as yard tender is in full swing. I had a difficult time yesterday edging the curb at the front of my yard. I had let it go too long and it took some oomph to get through it. But I do enjoy being outside in the warmth again. Winter seemed interminable this year.

There's a new restaurant opening near me (yesterday actually), Bangkok Square, Thai food which I love. Can't wait to try it. I think it's the tamarind sauce that happys-up my taste buds, sweet, sour, and salty. I don't know whether to go alone the first time to try it out or ask a friend to go with. Sue is usually my go-to buddy but we've always gone to seafood places before, not sure if she likes Thai.

I had good news on my last eye appointment, 20/20 in both eyes with my glasses and little bit lower on the pressure readings, 21 and 22 (26 and 27 the time before). My left eye has never been better than 20/40 before. No opinions on what to attribute this to but I'm certainly not complaining.

I've been posting a haiku daily during poetry month on Facebook, 27 of them today...looks like I may complete the month. It continues to be fun and I think that's the reason. I know why poetry month is in April, nature at its best.

until next time...c
