This side of the Road: Sunday in March

I noticed when I opened up the front curtains this morning that a few rocks surrounding the garden area underneath my window seemed to be out of place. I'm betting the deer came into the yard last night to eat those yellow flowers I stuck in the ground. Plastic may be the solution I've found to discourage their midnight meal snacks.

I made up some fresh nectar for the hummingbirds, did some paperwork, ran the dishwasher, and uploaded four Rolling Stones CDs to my Itunes library. Mary helped me yesterday to learn their new layout so now I can go back in and clean things up. I'd gotten in one of my OCD moods and was trying to file songs in folders. Since I had my own system, I managed to screw things up royally and couldn't find them again. She did some fancy copying with instructions to stop trying to fix things. ha ha
My library had maybe 1200+ songs in it and with all the copying she had to do from the various places I'd put things, I know have over 6000 songs. Which basically means I have a lot of deleting to do over the next few weeks.

I used to use Itunes quite a bit but when I couldn't find my music, I gave up on that website. Mary found it again for me but meanwhile, they'd changed their webpage and I didn't recognize how to do anything like copy a song or burn a new CD. Going to be fun getting back into that again. I think. I've got this gadget thingie in the back bedroom where you're supposed to be able to transfer cassette music to your hard drive. I tried it out but have to try again because the songs I worked on don't sound right. I know I just need to monkey with it more and learn the controls. And that is something I really want to do because I have a couple hundred cassette tapes with some WONDERFUL music on them. If and when I get that technology learned, that project will take a lot of time to complete.

Meanwhile, I've started to get my genealogy notebooks in order again so I can restart the search for relatives. The last few days I've been feeling awfully blue because my arms, shoulders, and neck were causing so much grief. I could barely lift Jacob when he was here visiting yesterday. I slept in the recliner last night and will probably do the same tonight. I'm hoping my doctor has a game plan when I go in to see her on Tuesday. And by the way, Linda F...I am going to make an appointment with that chiropractor you mentioned. Jenni's been to him before and also thought he was awfully good.

It was dark and gray out a few hours ago and I thought rain was going to occur at any minute. It didn't, though. The sun is out and shining. Hope it stays like that for a while. Hunter may come over later to put together the second stool that Mary gave to me yesterday when she was here. She got them free from Coca Cola because her company has them for a client. I love them!

Her and Andy thought they'd look better in my kitchen than theirs cause I collect Coke memorabilia.

Below are various pictures that either Jenni, Mary, or I took the last couple of days.....
