A beautiful spring day. Birds busy, bees checking out the flowers in the from flower bed. The squirrel is working hard at getting seeds from the one bird feeder, and the chipmunks are scrounging all the ones dropped on the ground by the birds eating from the feeders. We found that the wood bees have returned so will have to go spray for them again. They left one area and moved to another.
WE had a busy and fun weekend. Saturday we did projects around the house and the yard. Of course made a trip to Hobby Lobby which is always fun. WE got what we went for and enjoyed looking at all the pretties we didn’t need. I came home with one Christmas gift. Starting the shopping early this year. So fun. Oh, yes, we got a couple of showers but nothing major so will have to water this evening.
Yesterday we enjoyed or Sunday morning ritual, then I put a big chuck roast in the oven, along with the potatoes, onion and carrots, and garlic, We dug out the spring/summer items from the shed and got them up. So summery and cheerful around here now. Jerry came over with his new puppy, Dallas. she is so cute and sweet and a puppy. Sierra wasn’t happy but only slapped her once when she came right up to her, wanting to make friends and play. Miss Grouchy wasn’t having any of that. Dallas loved the shade trees and green grass. She has all that at home but appreciated having it here also. She is going to be a big puppy dog. She is friendly but Jerry said she is supposed to be a guard dog. Well, Murphy is the guard dog so he might have something to say about that. Of course he is a miniature schnauzer who guards the place very well because he believes he is as big as a lion.
After Jerry arrived Dottie arrived. Poor Tammie had to work a Vols softball tournament so couldn’t be here. Jerry did a few honey-do’s for us which we appreciate so very much, then we sat down to dinner. the roast turned out good as did the veggies. Tina made a peach cobbler that was really good so enjoyed desert also.
After everyone left and all the evening chores were completed we sat down to the news and TV programs. A relaxing two hours or so, then off to bed. Monday morning arrives quite quickly.
