.....at this time of the year.  Spring has sprung and the birds are nesting
and mating and the bees are all over every flowering plant within sight.  I
counted 6 bees round just 3 daffodil flowers in a pot on my back verandah.

I've got so much to do..............................

My pasture hums.  The swallows try to beat me into the shed to nest there

come.

:-)))))  Isn't it wonderful?  We have both been caught just standing in the
veg garden, doin' nuttin' with our backs to the sun soaking up some warmth.

I must be getting old as I know that the winter temps weren't that low and
that we have had lovely high temps way too early for Spring, but I just feel
like it was a long hard winter.

Yep, it's a bipolar world. As the sun slowly dips behind the top of my
hill, all I can do is sit around and wait for the laggards of the garden
to catch-up.

You have bees already? You should be where we are in February. Bees
would be another month away.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and
Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And
itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid
of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second
is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.
