I was there when it happened. Will you be there too?
The amaryllis are blooming. These are so fun. All from one bulb I picked out of someone’s composting.

It was too cold to work in the yard (what’s up with 40*F in TX in April?) so I decided to do a little cooking to get ahead for the week.

We saw a new sloppy Joe sauce that promised what I remember from school lunches. We’ll see. I haven’t made sloppy Joe since our daughter was still living here

Mr Lincoln rose. I’ve had this bush more than 20 years and have nearly killed it twice and still it blooms.

On my way to water the lawn. We’re not getting the rain we usually get in march. Hope this isn’t predictive of the year.

First poppy. I bought these on half price last week. They looked so sad but had lots of unopened blooms. Brought them home and perked them up and one has started to bloom.

Tumble from my desk and I stumble to the kitchen

Try to find some supper ambition

And yawn and stretch and try to find a knife

Cut up some veg and a chunk of my finger

Fry a little meat, we’ll call that dinner

Cause I had to work today from nine to five.

This pink witch hazel must be one of the first things I put in the garden. It’s been moved several times and has found a new happy place.

Found this little guy while cleaning up plants yesterday. Gave him a ride to a nice plant. He must have liked it because he wouldn’t move and I finally had to push him a little

Orange blossoms. Time to get married?

Watching a pair of cardinals play in the birdbath. He dove in and went under and flung water everywhere. She’s much more timid and flits across the surface.

We sat on the deck last night with friends. There was ash in the air from a fire near here. And so so so much pollen. Husband and I both need an allergy pill

We’re having people over for drinks and apps this afternoon and I’m diligently trying to clean the house and make us look presentable.

It’s gonna take a lot of polish.

Headed to the funeral home to pick up a friends ashes. I guess that makes me a friend to the end?

Thanking my higher power for that lasagna I made a few weeks ago and froze. It’s in the oven now. Tonight I’ll only need to make a couple of salads.

It’s so weird that we’re watching the total corruption of our govt and we still have to do work.

I don’t usually buy pink orchids. I prefer green backgrounds or white with a brown center. But this one was on sale and it was so pretty I had to have it.

Dickless Texas legislator calls Sarah McBride Mr and she replies by calling him madam and gets on with the meeting. Not sure anyone needed to stand up for her. She seems to have that covered. Respect!

Wow! 5 o’clock just sneaked up on me and suddenly the work day is done.

Flowers. Finally. My forsythia had a rough year last year. I grow it in a pot here or it gets out of control. Last year, it split its pot and I didn’t notice. It almost died from lack of water. Not a lot of bloom this year.

What? A Monday with only one meeting? What will I do with the time?
