Spring has Arrived
With 78 degrees in this late afternoon . . . spring is here.
We had Jan and her long green line mow the acre today. Her yard needed mowing as well and she zipped right through from ours to hers. It sure didn’t take her long. I went over and sat with her a bit afterwards and thanked her. That speaks to a larger, more powerful rig than what we have. Each year we have wondered how long our Sears would last. The deck is getting quite fragile.
I had texted Megan after the baccalaureate festivities. She was surprised by her receiving awards. Super Sweet. Tonight we will be watching the graduation ceremony via the live stream. This young woman is the same little strawberry blondie that spent so much time with us . . . until pre-school hit. Memories are mine and I cherish them.
Today I was so thankful that we do not have any carpeting in our home. I used the same Swiffer mop that I use for dusting, by just putting on the wet sheets. It had been some time since all the floors got hit at once. A satisfying feeling. One of the two beds has fresh bedding. The duet cover for my feather blanket has also been washed. I can tell you that I am not up to putting those two together today. My arms are telling me, “Get over it and use an afghan to cover with.” Good message from arms that have had quite the run of mowing yesterday and doing the tidy, tidy house today. The second bed is up for tomorrow.
Progresso soup has had its run. I have a tuna, green pea, pasta dish put together with Alfredo sauce. While the pasta was still hot, I whisk in some roasted garlic bullion paste. Just a bit more flavor.
We have a new flag! Friend Bruce picked one up for us from the VFW. We have a holder made out of narrow PVC piping that has been threaded onto a rod cemented in the patio. Bruce got the nylon one as he said the sewn cotton flags have a disclaimer that they may weigh up to seven pounds soaking wet. Out little holder would be challenged.
Everyone have a wonderful holiday weekend!
