Saturday!

Some Saturday happy things:

  • Last night I did a good thing and turned off my morning alarm. I actually got just over eight hours of sleep.  I even had a short nap this afternoon.  Sleep is so important!
  • The weather forecast said rain for today, but it didn't start until the afternoon. Between Zed, Gideon and I, some of the lawn is mowed, weeded and trimmed.

Paperwhites and irises (not yet blooming)

  • Keziah participated in a local pottery throw down. It is a small workspace so the rest of us stayed home. Thankfully a friend live streamed the event so we were able to watch parts of it while working in the yard. She won the first round and scored third place overall. Yay, Keziah!
  • It looks like sometime in the next few days there might be some irises blooming.
  • We met with friends for dinner. Great food and better company is a wonderful thing.

Narcissus

My Friday is ending with me almost as tired as Thursdays tend to be. The day started slow but became busy in the afternoon. Here are some happy things: 
  • Keziah and I went and set the pavilion up for the demo this weekend. We had some great helpers and it went up well.
  • TF had surgery a little over a month ago, started back at work last week with limited hours, and this week with extended hours. I heard from her today and she survived her busy week. She is looking forward to sleeping this weekend. It was good to hear from her about her week.
  • I noticed some more blooms today by the tulips: narcissus/paperwhites. All these spring flowers are wonderful to see. I hope they continue to grow and spread. 

  • There are also violets growing in the yard.
