Springtime Saturday.

.....It sure has been a nice day. I actually had a real dose of Vitamin 'D' as I spent several hours on the roof cleaning off the winter debris. It was rather warm up there. The warmest I've felt in months. It felt really good.

.....I was a little worried about the roof as I hadn't had a chance to clean it off last year. I was expecting moss monsters with huge gaping holes in the roofing shingles. When I walked up there though I was pleasantly surprised. There were sections where the moss was running rampant, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.

.....I swept down the roof of needles, branches and loose debris. Then pulled all the moss I could. Then spead moss killer all over the place. I went and cleaned the gutters as well. Although the gutter screens I had put in several years ago are still doing quite nicely at keeping the gutters relatively free of debris. I'll go back up there sometime in May and sweep up the remainder of the dead moss.

.....The yard and driveway have piles of moss and rood debris scattered everywhere. :-) I would have cleaned it up right away, but Mom needed a ride to the store for her weekly shopping excursion. She went and had her hair cut as well. Shortest I've ever seen her with her her. The stylist cut away the last of her red hair. It is all white now. She already misses it. She had flaming red hair when she was young. Just a shade lighter than my brother. His hair is a bright, deep red. Although the last time I saw him his hairline was receding faster than mine is. :-)

.....If I had gotten my act together I would be in Seattle listening to His Holiness, The Dalai Lama. He is a remarkable man. The Gandhi of this generation. You can hear a lot of what he is saying at the web-site seedsofcompassion.org. It is amazing to listen to him speak. He can say things remarkable profound in ways that are easy to understand and full of humor. He is so REAL as well. When you listen to some religious leaders, they seem so wrapped up in the trappings of their religion that they forget the intent of their religion. The Dalai Lama doesn't have that problem. His humbleness helps carry his convictions.

.....Yup, I'm a fan.

.....Off to go work on some circlets and spend a little time with TBT. Hope you all enjoy this nice weather. :-)
