Just as the sun is going down, the rabbits come out to play. There must be twenty rabbits in our neighborhood. They have quite the party every night in my front yard. When I come out the front door to take the trash out or do something outside, they scatter in 20 different directions. It is funny to see so much hysteria just because I step out of my door.

Robots are here to stay, but we don’t have much use for personal robots yet. I would really like to have an R2D2 robot and a C3PO to help me out.There are a lot of things I could have a robot do for me that I would rather not have to handle myself.

I guess the closest thing to a personal robot is the Roomba vacuum cleaner. My sister has one and loves it. It cleans the floors by itself and does great on everything except stairs.

Computers are great when they work. Not so great when all they do is sit there and blink at you. Mine locked up this morning and I wasted 2 hours tinkering with it. I was THIS CLOSE to grabbing a hammer to “fix it.”

Now that Spring is almost here, I’m thinking seriously about planting a little vegetable garden in the side yard. I think that is the only spot around my house that gets enough sun to be able to grow anything. It’s a small patch but maybe big enough to save us a little money on groceries and be a little healthier for us, too. We could plant some tomatoes, green peppers and maybe some pumpkins and summer squash. That would be a good start to test whether I have a green thumb or not.
