Leaving the Grocery Store parking lot I noticed a family walking down the sidewalk: Papa Goose 7 little goslings and Mama Goose. Line of cars stopped with everyone getting a picture. So adorable!
National Gardening Day. It’s a little too early for that here . And it’s going to be pretty chilly today too.

International Laverbread Day. After reading what this is, I’ll pass on this one.
International Laverbread Day celebrates this food with a long history made from seaweed.Laverbread is the cooked version of ‘laver’ – porphyra seaweed – a diaphanous red algae found abundantly along Wales’ rocky coastline. For centuries, the Welsh have traditionally cooked laver to make laverbread, also called bara lawr and Welshman’s caviar. Not to be confused with sliced bread, laverbread is prepared by cooking the seaweed and creating green gluey sludge. So what’s appetizing about that? Well, for some, laverbread is considered a delicacy. For others, it may be an acquired taste. And still, for others, it’s neither acquired nor a delicacy.However, laverbread can be added to various recipes. Despite the long cooking time, (8 hours!) laverbread enhances the flavor with a salty sea taste. Add laverbread to soups, dried and crumbled over vegetables, salads, eggs, and even baked into bread. Traditionally, the Welsh roll laverbread in oatmeal before frying or spreading it on toast.Humans have been consuming seaweed for thousands of years, including laver. Since laver contains more vitamins and minerals than any land-based vegetable, it makes a healthy addition to any meal.
Today, unfortunately, I’ll be celebrating ‘National Ex-Spouse Day’. I have two, from over 40 years ago and it looks like I’ll have a third shortly. Last April my wife of 28 years moved back to NC, not liking living here in Maine. Oh well, 70 and single….at least I’m not 6 ft. under!:-)
Oh please hire Rufous! He is one of my favorite characters! The cataract surgery went well – I think. I barely notice a difference and my prescription glasses seem almost the same, a little distortion that is barely noticeable when reading. I see the doctor on Monday.
I really hope this is the last installment of my kidney saga. I was supposed to pull out the last one today. I couldn’t find the string so called his office. He had me go in so he could do it. He said sometimes the string goes back up into the bladder. While in the odd looking chair, I told him all of my dignity and sense of decorum left the building some time ago. He just chuckled and said it happens all of the time. My final instructions were to continue with a lot of water to flush out any remaining stone fragments. IF I have vomiting, a high fever or back pain like before, get to the ER. He sent the stones to the lab and once he gets the results and knows what kind they were (there are 3 kinds) he’ll call me. Then I’ll know which foods to avoid.
Tonight I feel better than I have since the middle of Feb when the bronchitis started. It’s been a rough nine weeks.
I’m surprised they let him out of there in one piece. They must have been really impressed by his attitude. On another note, saw a vole and a robin while out walking today.
