March Winds Continue!

The March wind blew all night and a good part of the day...continuing still, but they seem to be lessening in strength. The temeratures are dropping...supposed to go down to 30° over night. Back and forth is the way "things" go at this time of the year! It's nice to see the pretty daffodils, jonquils, crocus, Dutch iris, and hyacinths are looking pretty as they peek their little heads up. Today the bunny's upstairs started hopping downstairs...also found a few more downstairs hiding out. I did a little cooking. I cooked two pork tenderloins...one to eat this week and one went into the freezer. I also made gravy which I need when I make enchiladas. I got home from church a little while ago. I was a bit later tonight as I had a problem getting my car started. But in the end I think that it wasn't a problem...just a feature to keep the battery from running down. I went out and got in the car after the Bible study. I put the key in the ignition, but didn't turn the car on, as I wanted to wait till some of the cars in the parking lot left before I backed up. I feel uncomfortable even with the back-up camera when it is dark and lots of families with young children are loading up into their vehicles. Anyway, having the key just in the ignition had things turned on. I think that after a few minutes and I hadn't started the car, it shut down. When I tried to start it, it didn't respond. I should have waited a few minutes more, but I knew that I needed to get back inside the church before the doors got locked and before most had left. I called Kathy, but wasn't thinking that we were out sooner than they get out of their church...but I knew that I could wait till they got out as long as I could wait inside out of the cold. But I found someone that I know who I was sure could jump my car...I have jumper cables...just needed someone with a vehicle and the know how! He headed off to get his truck and meet me where my car was. I headed back to my car. Abigail met me in the hallway, as Kathy had called her. Abigail babysits at our church on Wednesdays. She said that she would take me home, if I didn't get it started. I headed out to my car and decided to try it one more time...and it started with no problem. It started about the time my rescuer pulled up next to my car...but I headed him off and told him that I had gotten it started. I think under different circumstances I would have sat there longer and turned it off and tried again after a few minutes...but jumped the gun since the church was clearing out! Oh, well...alls well that ends well! I have had a bite of supper and now plan to do some stitching...I am very close to finishing a sampler. Now...close doesn't always take just a little while. I may have a couple of more hours of stitching left on it...but at the point it is...I can see the finish...just takes longer than it seems it should when it is this close! Ready to pick up my needle! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
