Spring planting season has arrived.  Our one tomato has been in place for a couple of weeks, surrounded by a beheaded milk jug to protect it from the fierce prairie wind.  Bytes and I rearranged the raised 2x4 foot planting beds that are about waist high.  One will hold peppers and another lettuce and carrots.  I'm thinking of putting a cucumber in the middle of the third so it will cascade down the side on a trellis.  Thanks for stopping by each week with your new ideas and awesome posts!

Things are opening up a bit in our county -- enough that we feel comfortable running errands in person. Going to the store for groceries instead of always ordering online. Buying flowers at the pop up nursery in the mall parking lot. The farmer's market. All the little things that used to happen regularly each week seem new and special. We appreciate them all! And I appreciate your dropping by each week to share your awesome posts!!

I saw my sisters yesterday!!  It has been almost sixteen months.  So wonderful to be outdoors in the sunshine at a quiet park and just talk.  Of course, we had a table full of fruit and chicken and cupcakes (to celebrate all the birthdays we missed).  And chips of course -- what's a picnic without chips?  It was great to relax and relish their company.  It was a very good day!!!  May this week be full of very good days for you.

Really chilly weather -- even down below freezing a couple of nights.  Everyone is anxious to get outside in the garden.  One of the grocery stores had seedlings of herbs, and other chilly weather tolerant plants.  People were swarming around the displays -- looked like a human anthill.  I dived right in and came home with dill (for the monarch butterflies) kohlrabi for Wheels, and flowers for moi.   Thanks for stopping by to share your spring goodness.

And the adventure continues -- I started physical therapy for my dizzy sinusitis.  Who knew there was physical therapy for that?  We had a surprise snowfall of several inches midweek that melted before the day was over.  And this week begins with plans to see Nate the Great ("I'm almost ten") and his mom -- so looking forward to real hugs!!!  Hope your week is full of warm anticipation and gratefulness for whatever makes your world better!

Got a ride in the ambulance this week.   Sat up in bed Friday morning and the world turned into a tilt a whirl and I found myself on the floor -- I slid down so I wouldn't fall down, could not stand or even move.   I was back home before noon with a diagnosis of sinusitis which upset my ears and my balance -- another version of the annual bout with spring allergies.  I am lucky it was nothing worse and there is medicine to help.  Nevertheless -- let's not do that again, 'kay???  Hope your week was better!  Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!!
