Mary gets our day started with hot coffee!
Step 1: Open your eyes; Step 2: Make your way to the kitchen; Step 3: Make coffee! Now, the world can start!
Astronomical spring began on March 20, 2025, at 2:01 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time in the Northern Hemisphere. We were ready with our shovels, seedlings, and other gardening necessities.
I heard a scream and thought local wild animals like a Wombat, possum, or an albino alligator had attacked Mary! It turns out that when she turned the corner to go into the kitchen, Mary was face to face with Mr. Froggy, dressed up for Easter! That was indeed a shock!
Hi, I am really the Easter Bunny.
Tit for tat, Mary found her wabbit ears and wore them the rest of the morning. Scout was a little dubious about this change in Mommy’s looks!
Coffee, anyone!
Speaking of wabbits, we found two more little critters hiding in the family room plants! They ducked back under the leaves when they saw us and continued hiding.
What’s the difference between a clown and an athletic rabbit? One is a little bit funny, and the other is a little fit bunny.
S-h-h-h-h-h-h, we are hiding from Scout.
Speaking of Spring, the garden awaits us. It looks small from 200 feet up, but it is 30′ x 50′, and we are in the middle of getting it ready for summer planting. Turning the soil and adding amendments is always fun—especially when you accidentally unearth a garden gnome that has been hiding out since the last ice age!
Speaking of the Summer Garden!
At 11:00 am, we headed to the dry cleaners and Elks for Girls’ Night Out. Bill brought Sandy so she could understand what “Girls’ Night Out” was about. We had a great time.
Bill and Sandy
Bob often brings something he finds in the newspaper or magazine and reads it to us. His articles are always funny and bring down the house with tears of joy; today was no different.
Our own Poet Laureate!!
A new person joined us, and I asked Mary who it was. She did a double-take and said, “It is Sydney!” Yep, Sydney turned blond, and I did not recognize her at all!!
Sydney, how you have changed!
It was nearly 1:45 pm when we finally decided to leave for home. Who knew time would travel faster than my grandma on a bingo night?
Going home!
Sydney operated the camera, and we got many shots of us cavorting in front of the Elk!
More fun today!!
Scout was expecting some deliveries from Amazon, so he stayed by the front door so we would know when one occurred.
I’m watching for the Amazon deliveries.
We visited Jeff for a while and then we worked in the yard for a while before going into the swim spa for a while. After dark, we went to the TV room and watched “Reacher” until 11:00 pm and then crashed. We never made it to the swim spa this evening.
