Where is the Sun, la, la,la ,la

Our place looks stunning right now. All the trees are glowing with water logged moss. The leaves are opening and we are getting shelter from the world in our little forest. Every morning I am serenaded awake by the birds. 15 years ago I planted For-Get-Me-Nots and they have spread all over the front yard along with the pink Bleeding Hearts. Our sugar peas are up about 6 inches and reaching for the sun that isn't in the sky. The lettuce has sprouted but very small still. We are hoping for sun in the next day or so.
Friday is book club day and I am really looking forward to it. I heard that Ken Follett's book "World Without End" is going to be one of the books offered for us to pick. I was on page 316 before I heard this bit of info so I stopped reading it until after Friday. Joe and I really enjoyed Ken F's first part of the story, the book "Pillars of the Earth". Ken tells a gripping tale that is hard to put down.
I read Sea Glass these past few days and I really enjoyed the story. I think Anita Shreve is a good story teller. The book was about the
1920's and 30's and the mill workers and the strikes put on by the unions and communists to get better wages and conditions for the factory workers. I wondered how it was going to end and I was surprised. It could have been 50 pages shorter. I find I feel that way about a lot of books lately. I don't know what that means. Either the writer has drawn out the ending or I have lost interest. Today because of all the rain I will need to find a small book to read until Friday (today is Wednesday)

A new day

I was pleased and alarmed after listening to Barack Obama's speech last night. I was glad he said what he thought about people helping the country or not and I was alarmed because he said those same things and upset the Republicans and those few idiot Judges. I wish people would get on board and help this President out. A lot of greed by people got the world in the state it's in and I don't think it is right of people to blame Obama for not saving their asses. People need to figure it out for themselves and figure out how they can change their thinking, fix their lives and help others.
Aside from politics the weather is sunny. Soon it will even be sunny on our house. I bought Joe a bunch of vegetable seeds to plant in our garden this summer. I even got a few he can plant in March. I got them for his birthday present, I will see how this goes over...lol.
I really need a new book to read. I have hundreds to choose from but I am still holding out for book club choice. It didn't come in the mail yesterday. What did come in the mail was a great little Valentine, an ATC Valentine. That was fun to get. That is why I like doing these swaps on the computer. I get surprises in the mail. I found great Dove candy to put on the Valentine's I am working on. They are hearts in pink foil. They are a perfect addition.
I gave one of my 29 gifts out yesterday. I had this half of a box of 12 cokes that I had bought and it was the wrong kind???How do I keep doing that? I was thinking all the way to town who I could give it to. I pulled into the Rite Aid parking lot and there was a young girl with a husband and a baby sitting in the car next to me. I asked them if they wanted the coke. They were a little confused but the girl said she would take the sodas. I told her to pass them on to someone else if it was something she didn't like. It is fun to make someone have a unusual experience.
