Sonny’s Sunshine Corner
March! At last! My
birthday month! And Spring is right around the corner here in Georgia. Soon the
azaleas, dogwood and peach trees will blossom and allergy sufferers will head
to their allergists. I suffer some during this period; but it’s all worth it to
me with all the beautiful fresh colors surrounding me.
Up north I know Spring
will be a long time coming by the time they get all that snow melted. A couple
of my Southern friends welcomed the little snow we got here and wanted more. I
informed them that some northern folks were selling snow to whoever wants it.
They said, yes, send it on. They’re nuts I think.
Our boy, Butchie, is all
healed up from his sore face from scratching incidence. He has his M back on
his face (the Mark of Mary) and is back to his handsome if grumpy self. He did
not enjoy the cold weather here lately (in the 20s) and he poked his head
outdoors only to back off and come back into the warm house. He’ll be glad to
sit in his porch chair in the sun soon.
Readership of the blog
space is now up over 62,000 and Village Soup showed over 1,000 views for the
last four stories posted. The most popular story of February was the Grange
story. It was nice to hear from Aaron Englander of Erickson Fields, who I
mentioned in the story. He is involved with Maine Coast Heritage Trust which
focuses on saving small Maine farms.
Look for special St.
Patrick’s Day recipes this month. Ted’s column relates the reconstruction of
Memorial Pier down at the landing which resulted in its present look. Also
mentioned is the “building” of Pen Bay Hospital and formation of the ambulance
service in the area. I don’t have any ideas for special blogs at this point,
but I’m sure I’ll come up with something. Of course, I always welcome
suggestions from you, my reader. I would be very interested in sponsoring a
guest blog having to do with nature, focusing on Maine. It would mean a monthly
commitment. If you have ideas along this vein please email me at: southendstories@aol.com.
My personal news
includes no bronchitis this winter. My sinus infection did not turn into that
dreaded condition. I took it very carefully and stayed home until I was out of
the woods. However, being idle like that has set my PT back a little. I will
return to PT next week.
The good news is that Nanci
and I will head to Savannah next month so she can try out for Jeopardy once
again, we think this is the seventh or eighth time she’s done this song and
dance. We went to Savannah together once before and I thoroughly enjoyed that
old city. It will be a fun trip. Wish her luck. We sure could use a trip to
California. If I can be on Wheel of Fortune at the same time she is on Jeopardy
that would be a dream come true.
So here’s to Spring and
the promise of good things to come it brings. See you next time. Head bumps
from Butchie.
