9:00 am and we are off and running! This time to the DMV for a 10:40 am appointment to get Mary’s driver’s license renewed. We departed at 9:00 am, arriving an hour early, thinking MAYBE we might get through early. That didn’t happen, and after making 3,457 circles around the parking lot, I went to the local Del Taco and had a taco and Diet Coke. Mary did not get out of there until 11:15 am.
We had to be home before 1:00 p.m., as our door expert was coming by to make some adjustments. We made it by noon and went to work in the front yard, weeding and planting spring flowers. Mary planted many new flowers and did some serious weeding/trimming.
Scout was providing adult supervision!
The door folks showed up along with Domilita and the crew, so the house is clean, and the sliding back glass door is back to normal. We love the bi-fold door, as it is 15 feet wide and opens up the entire family room to the outside—perfect for a day like today!!!
The great out-of-doors! When the doors are open, it’s like being outside!
We worked in the patio garden, digging out last year’s rambling herbs and replacing them with lettuce, basil, and several other herbs.
We also removed the dead or dying plants from the vertical gardens and replaced them with new dirt and new flowers, vegetables, and herbs.
The towers are now populated with strawberries and herbs!
We noticed that our multi-fruit tree was coming on strong. It is a plum, apricot, peach, and nectarine tree all in one!
The fruit tree is blossoming and smelling good!
We did not work in the big garden today, we will save that for the upcoming warm weekend!
Garden, did someone say garden??
Since Easter is coming, we redid the internal lights to be Easter-like and set the timers to go on at sunset and off at 2:00 am.
We changed our lighting inside to be Easter-like!
We did the same for the front of the house. The house is much brighter than the movie shows, and we may rethink the lighting before Easter arrives.
After going to the swim spa for three cycles, we dried off and made several calls on the bat phone talking to family and friends. By the time it was 9:00 pm, we were destined for a long night’s sleep!
