this morning, while I was searching for something in the garage, I came across an envelope of morning glory seeds that had been there for at least a year… apparently a critter had chewed open the end of the envelope, but left the seeds… not so tasty maybe…

I sprinkled them over two planters along the deck and then covered them with soil… will watch and see what happens…

no idea if they will sprout, but I thought it was worth a chance…

will be fun to watch;-)…

been a quiet day, although I did get dressed, lol…

this afternoon, as I sat reading in the living room, the doorbell rang… sounded odd as the doorbell has not rung for quite some time…

on my steps was a brown bag with Happy Easter on it and a dear friend standing on the sidewalk… she had made hot cross buns … which she does every year, and usually brings to our Monday night gathering closest to Easter…

she was dropping off these treats to each of our doors so that we could enjoy them;-)…

I couldn’t wait and warmed it up, buttered it and enjoyed every bite…

what a wonderful Good Friday surprise and treat…

had a wonderful day outside yesterday…

topped up the hot tub and added chemicals to it…

found my gardening gloves and planted an avocado…

although it is still messy on the deck, I sat in the sun and read for a while…

noticed that there is actually water in the pond;-)…

Spring is really coming, yay…

I went grocery shopping this morning…

I was almost out of tea and spinach and decided that today would be quieter (with less people) in the grocery store, rather that on the weekend…

while there I wondered whether I should keep my gloves on when pushing the cart… I tried to stay away from other people in the aisles… I picked up items with just a few fingers, and wondered how many people had punched in their codes at the credit card terminal…

as soon as I got home I hurried into the bathroom and washed my hands…

I could not believe how stressful the whole thing was…

brought home a pot of Spring flowers to help make the kitchen a brighter place…

planning to stay home for the next while unless really needed;-(…

had a bit of a giggle on Monday night…

while I was having a visit with my BS buddies, one of them noticed that I had a dryer sheet attached to the back of my shirt… when she took it off, there was a second one as well…

what made it particularly funny was that I had removed two sheets from the sleeves of the shirt in the morning when I got dressed… apparently that particular shirt likes to collect stuff…

I rip the sheets in half and reuse them a number of times which means that there could be a number of them in a load of laundry…

I also went out for lunch… there were no diners behind me and luckily my friend didn’t notice, I hope, lol…

the next day I put on a pair of Spring-looking leggings which I thought I’d worn before… at the end of the day I discovered they had the plastic size information still on the leg…

lucky for me, I spent the day at home;-)…

my beloved would have noticed these things…

forward…

had a lovely wander around the living room and dining room to check on the plants…

a few of the orchids are starting some new buds and the other plants are doing nicely…

it was a nice treat to wander around and see the growth…

we just sprang forward on the weekend and I think Spring is really coming…

I think Spring has finally hit me…

spent time cleaning a cabinet and shelf unit in the bathroom…

also did a bit of work in the garden…

cut back some of the Virginia creeper… always feel such satisfaction trimming it, and find it rather addictive, lol… sometimes it is hard to stop…

and then, while I was watching some tv, I touched something on the remote and the screen misbehaved for a while… eventually I unplugged everything and when it started up again it was fine… not that I am addicted to tv…

as I walked up the street tonight I saw a few couples…

the mallard couple have been coming to this creek for many years… these might be the children or even grandchildren now…

a few steps further along I came across the bunny couple… they weren’t sitting quite as close together, lol…

nice walk…

looking forward to gathering with my BS buddies tonight…

apparently the Easter bunny stopped by a bit early as I won’t see them closer to the holiday…

although we will be celebrating Easter, it is snowing like crazy right now…

the ground was clear when I got home from work;-(… all of those gray spots and lines are snowflakes coming down…
