Still waiting

for the medicine to kick in. I am feeling slightly better in that my cough is not as bad, but the headaches and body aches are still a problem. I truly expected to be feeling much much better by now considering the amount of pills I've been taking. I am at least propped up in bed on my laptop rather than trying to do everything with my iPhone. Well it's no fun reading about someone's ailments and aches and pains so that's enough of that.

I might do some knitting this afternoon. I could get the lace border done for the dress if I put my mind to it. Or I could sleep.

We had a big wind storm here yesterday. It was funny - just quick and it was gone as fast as it came. However it did blow some trees over on some houses. We have a couple big old trees in the back. Last year an arborist was going door to door to offer to check out the trees to see if they were healthy and we had them checked out. I would hate for that to happen. I would often think about that possibility at my old house because I had two huge old poplars on my property and one of them was looking a bit peaked.

March always makes me think of a trip to Versailles. Spring not really ready to show up, especially after the big storms that year, but the groundskeepers were trying hard to force it by planting primroses and violets around the muddy grounds. My companion had skipped work that day, I believe. And we had a wonderful lunch in a restaurant like a greenhouse .... my memory is fading there. The rest of the day and evening is still sharp in my mind though. That was one of the best days ever.

Oh gosh ... I just realized it's St. Patrick's Day! Happy day everyone.

In Paris only this week - sunny, bright gold sparkling on the bridges, Seine glistening. Warm-ish but with a hint of cold in the air - quite simply the best ! Thoughts of yesteryear.
