Spring is here!
Or as much as it can be in April here. My daffodils and hyacinths are blooming and snow is forecast for tomorrow. The nice weather is giving me spring fever, so I went downstairs to clean up around my summer plants and took a few outside on the deck, right next to the door, so I can take them in again tonight. I feel like I want to be outside taking care of last year's garden trash, but I still have laundry in the washer and dryer, and dishes in the dishwasher.
Jim is gone for the week on an our of town job, so Lynette and I could live in complete squalor until Friday afternoon and only do fun things. Except, really don't like that, I want a better example of house keeping for her to see, besides she has to work and has loads of art homework to do.

I've been celebrating my birthday for weeks now. Sunday, we finally had my "birthday dinner" at Red Lobster, I had crab fettuccini, and discovered that my throat is not ready for garlic mashed potatoes. The crab was good though.
I got this absolutely darling yarn bowl in the mail from my sister-in-law, and promptly put it to use with the yarn Jim gave me for my birthday. It was just the thing for all that ribbony, fluffy and easily tangled up yarn. I love it!
I didn't take many photos of the boys while I was sick, and sometime I want to chronicle those boys' development last year, but here they are on a recent visit to Gramma's house. These boys have more fun with balloons. Barry just throws his in the air and chuckles. Zane likes to have one blown up and let go before tying and laughs watching it spin around the room. After an adult blows one up, Zane can blow it up himself.
Papa's Boys
I picked up Barry for the first time since I was sick this week. I'm so glad I can really enjoy these boys.
Spring Jonquils
April 8, 2023--Not very good photos of the boys. I'm glad I have any.

Oh, Shelley, I just kind of got a lump in my throat reading this...it is so so so nice that you are getting to enjoy the "normal" life joys once again. UP here, we are remembering your visit a year ago, when you had a sinus headache that just wouldn't go away. Ashley and I keep saying how wonderful it is that the future is hidden from us. We're trying to get spring too, but we definitely haven't had as much success as you. No jonquils anywhere in sight. So, yesterday we went through the Como Conservatory (remember that?) and got our eyes full of spring flowers again.

Ah! love those spring flowers--& the pot is darling! :)
We've had green shoots coming up for a while now, but they'll be delayed now with this cold & snow that returned.
