Fact: The world’s longest concert by multiple artists took place from March 17 to April 5, 2017. – The concert was part of Canada’s celebration of their country’s 150th anniversary. Participants included the Epidemic Music Group. It lasted for 453 hours, 54 minutes, and 40 seconds.
* Wednesday first came to be known as hump day since at least the 1950s. The expression figures Wednesday, the middle of the workweek, as the hump people get over to coast into the weekend. Throughout the 20th century, Wednesday was specially referred to as hump day in an effort to liven up the drudgery of the workweek.
We were up and facing the world bright and early. We had to clean the house since our house cleaners were coming this morning. I walked outside and ate some loquats from the neighbor’s tree; it hangs over on our side. The loquat is called a “Japanese Plum”. Loquat produces fruit that is a rich source of dietary fibers, vitamin A, B6, and B9, and minerals such as potassium, iron, and copper.
Thye are a bit tart so I love them!

They are a little tart and have a large seed.
I bought a dishwasher from BOSCH about 18 months ago and sometimes it does not start without fiddling with the controls. During the move, I lost the manual so today I downloaded the manual and sent it off to Staples to get printed. We shall get to the bottom of this mystery!
We visited the flowers and saw the daffodils being naughty in the front yard. You have to get down close to be able to hear what they are saying.

Ah, isn’t that sweet?
Well, as we ALL know, sometimes things change! They were having a lover’s spat. We shall visit them later and make sure they are on speaking terms.
Odd as it sounds, plants can communicate with each other. Just like animals, plants produce all kinds of chemical signals in response to their environments, and they can share those signals with each other, especially when they’re under attack. These signals take two routes: through the air, and through the soil.

Oops! We spoke too soon!
in the front yard, our maple is beginning to come to life after being dormant all winter long. The bark turns bright red when it is dormant. The next 60 days will be interesting to watch!

Our maple is coming out of its hibernation!
Oh, BTW, we got wind again. The entire day was at 7-10 MPH with some gusts to 20 MPH. The flags were having a great time waving in the breeze. The St. Patty’s Day flag may have had one too many beers!

Waving proudly.
Our neighbor brought over a shopping bag full of oranges and grapefruit so I got out the trusty old juicer and went to town! This juicer is over twenty-five years old! I love it because it allows me to juice and keep the pulp!

We made fresh orange juice!!
The day was magnificent. We took Scout to his beauty appointment; he wants to look good for Irene! We then took off for our PT appointment and after that, we went to Staples to get a copy of the dishwasher manual and drop off some return items for Amazon.

The day was cold but beautiful!
MAry read and I went to pick up Scout around 4:30 PM. We watched TV, talked to Robin, and crashed.
