A perfect spring day. People out working in their yards, the buzz of lawnmowers heard along with the singing of the beautiful birds. Kids outside riding bikes and playing ball. A lovely late afternoon.
Today Tina and the lady next door, Julie, planted the garden. There are some plants in a raised bed and some in large pots. I sure hope they grow and produce some excellent veggies for all of us to enjoy. I am especially interested in the Hearts of Gold cantaloupe that was planted this morning. I will be watching that one closely. That is the best of the melons. In Nevada, Fallon raised Hearts of Gold and people came from all over that part of the state just for the melons. So juicy and so sweet and so delicious.
Mr. Bumble Bee is out inspecting the garden and the other plants out there, checking on the flowers on the azaleas and the geraniums as well as the flowering vine. He is busy and friendly. He never bothers us if we are outside and he is around. He is big and beautiful as far as members of the bee family go.
The goldfinch has been here all day also. He(she) seems to come and stay for a day or so, then leave and be gone for several days, then comes back. So pretty and vocal. He was out dining with the cardinals and Blue Jays this morning. The warblers came and joined in the “breakfast crowd, then returned for lunch. I will have to wait and see if they come back for dinner.
Pamela is coming over to play games this evening, so have the card table ready. I am waiting for a phone call so can’t go running around and miss it. Do have paper and pen ready as well as games and score keeping pads and pencils. I am prepared, I think.
The Quote of the day: KNOW WHAT COUNTS No matter what you’ve done for yourself, or for humanity, if you can’t look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished? Lee Iacocca, Automobile executive
