Tax deadline day! Well, mine is filed and already got the refund. But more than that, today is the anniversary of my wedding. Forty-nine years ago. The best thing about that marriage was my children: Kelly Sabrina and Nathan Wade. Love those kids!

Mom and I (she made my dress)
The kids weren’t there…. haha

After breakfast I went outside and didn’t come back in until 2:30pm. I worked in the yard and got the totes of little yard decorations out. I always deliberate over where to put them. Some things go in the same place every year but others I just let the lawn spirit lead me!

A view of the yard from the deck.
My solar flower – took it last night after dark
Bright blue sky and the trees that are finally getting leaves!
Purple bunny – top right. Cat in the wheelbarrow (bottom left) and purple star….
Garden sign
Fairy village
Tazz memorial
Windchime that Kelly made out of painted clay pots
There ARE fairies in the garden – but there’s also a duck in a tub in front of Snoopy!
View of the back – look at the clouds!
PLAY IN THE DIRT – one of my favorites!
1776 bricks, and Pigpen, Snoopy and Woodstock
The squirrel was faded and scratched – so he’s black now!

I noticed this morning that the tulips were in tight buds. Not so now! And these delicate little blue flowers are a favorite…

Bright pink
Purple – there are several, some still in bud!
Delicate and beautiful!

I had a salad when I came in, then got out my packing list and started gathering up the miscellaneous items. I hope there’s room for Kathy and I in the car! I won’t actually pack my clothes or food until next weekend but this will be a busy week. In addition to work, Kelly and the boys are coming up for three days, and then April and I plan to spend Thursday in Smicksburg. It will be a fun week but I’ll hit the ground running!

This doesn’t even include clothing or luggage! Yikes!

TOMORROW April 16th is:

National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day; National Eggs Benedict Day; National Bean Counter Day; National Healthcare Decisions Day; National Orchid Day.

I don’t count beans (haha). I have wild orchids growing on the hill but they don’t bloom until about August. I don’t work tomorrow so I can’t wear my PJ’s to work. Maybe I’ll just celebrate Kelly and the boys coming up! God bless…
