the sun came up

150px-University_of_Kansas_Jayhawk_logo_svgwell the k u basketball team got beat and the sun did come up again. life does go on, no matter what. it probably was better to lose to okie state than to lose either of the last two games coming up. our team has to beat k state and missouri.

i took advantage of the warmer weather to log some miles walking. i walked 3 times last week. i have found that you have to exercise when you have the opportunity, whether you feel like it or not. spring is getting here. i am always busy with my garden when spring comes. it is so close that i am looking at seed catalogs. i will start some of the seeds i saved from last years garden, especially  the heirloom seed.

i didnt tune in the olympics until yesterday. i was sorting porky hair and needed something to watch in the background. they had cross country skiing. it lasted for two hours. i watched it even though i am not that much into winter sports. i did switch the channel when hockey came on. my brother larry used to watch hockey. i told him all they do is skate around for awhile then punch someone in the face. i missed what they called the game of the century or something. didnt matter. my kids were home for the weekend so i spent time visiting with them.

 i watched the olympic highlights later just to see what i missed. i noticed they had indians dancing once. then at the closing they introduced some more indians. they were the host tribes of the land where the olympics were held. that was a nice touch i thought. i like to see indians.

my woodpile is dwindling down. winter is almost over now. i like to keep a fire going. i prefer the heat of a wood fire to that of a gas furnace. keeping a fire reminds me of my younger days. we had to used a wood stove to cook on. and we used a pot bellied stove for heat. with modern conveniences today we dont really need to use woodstoves anymore. i just like them.

dont know what this new month will bring. well it is per cap month. thats always a treat. and denver pow wow is this month. i am planning to go to that. i am not a die hard pow wow fan. i go for one day then check out the big flea market they have. pow wow is just the excuse i use for a road trip. i may head into the hills to see the casinos. i also have to go find a hot spring to soak in. i get alot done in the short pow wow weekend. with all the snow we had it has been a long winter…..
