Another morning where I am racing the clock to check in before I head off to work. All is good here. The weather has been spring-like, which has made all of the plants happy - the grass, especially. It has entered the 2x/week mowing phase. But it's very pretty with its lush, emerald green color of new growth. So with cleaning up last year's beds, preparing this year's beds for planting, and mowing grass, our focus has been in the yard.
When it's raining, or I want a break from the outside work, I've been working on a project for my FIL, who turns 90 in a couple of months. I'm sorting through boxes of old papers and pictures, trying to put together a memory/tribute book for him. It's still in its infant stages, but I have found some interesting things.
Tomorrow we celebrate Wally's birthday. We have a cookout planned, but the weather forecast is for rain and thunderstorms all day. While I'm at work today, Ward is going to work up alternate weather plans in case we need them.
So time's up for this morning. Off to fix my lunch. Below are pictures of some of what blooming in the yard now.
