After such a wonderful rather strange upbeat kinda weekend, today was a big disappointment. Can’t really go into it, but it was a let down, big and small. It was really grey and wet when I came out of work today and it totally matched my state of mind.

Came home, woke up the sleeping computer…. uh, hello – computer – wake up…. c’mon, time to wake up. Hmmm no sleep indicator. Nothing. It’s warm but nothing. Had to hit the reset button for the first time ever. Woke up but icons missing in the dock etc. So I spent the rest of the night backing files up to CD (which I had planned to do on Saturday) and running Norton’s blah blah blah.

The only thing most people can agree on today is that it would be a good day to have stayed longer in bed. Not sure if it is the business of the weekend, or the greyness of the morning or the prospect of **huh** snow and sleet on the morning commute. Yup. Nothing like New England weather.

Mrs. Robin was on duty this morning with the eggs. she flew only as far as the hedge so those eggs will be toasty today. Good thing since it’s winter coat weather!

First off welcome Wanderlust visitors! You picked a good weekend to peek in here – earthquakes, robins, quilts, lots of blog posts.

I did do some of the things on my to-do list this afternoon, and it felt good to do that AND it was tiring too. As a reward, I started changing the two inch wide strips as shown below into two inch squares. I probably got about half the greens cut. Not very exciting stuff. So while I was doing that, I thought about the April journal quilt. I had stuck some stuff up on it and while I took a break from cutting, I stitched the stuff down. It’s done.

We are worried of course, about worrying the mother robin too much and forcing her off the nest. What an internal struggle that must be for any bird – sitting in one place too long, wondering if fate is about to come and carry you off — versus – the overpowering pull of those mysterious small ovals. The internal clock that pulls you back from food to keep them warm enough…

Today — a fourth egg!
