Kathy and I met this morning at her house – to have breakfast, catch up, and look over our plans for New York. The one thing we forgot to discuss was if we wanted shirts – maybe, We love NY or something. I’ll check with her and Kelly. She also shared a small cup with me so I could use it as a vase for tiny flowers.

Kathy went to Millie’s school to see their ‘wax museum’ this afternoon. She sent me a picture of Millie, who was Martha Washington (of course!) She had a board with information about Martha, as well. Max participated, and he was Willie Stargell (again, of course — baseball!). It was fun to get the pictures.

Once I got home, I went right outside and started on the yard. There was a nice breeze so I was comfortable even thought it was very warm. I was able to get all the weeds dug out on the right side, then cleaned up around the trees and flowers. Then I trimmed back all the buttercups so now the right side is totally done – for now. The weeds will be growing again as I breathe.

Far right along fence line.

It looked pretty cloudy, but I moved to the left side and finished cleaning out the middle of the hill. It looks very nice! Only 2 more spaces to clean up – between the fences (ugh) and the little area by the new Lilac in the back yard.

Done!

I took some pictures of the newest blooms. The yard does look pretty for the most part.

Dutch Iris and Columbine are coming out.

There is even a tiny space where new grass is coming up!

New grass!

I ushered for Bear at the Civic Center – After the doors closed, he took me upstairs to the penthouse. It’s set up for a wedding tomorrow. It’s been totally renovated, inside and out. The views are stunning! I’m sure it will beautiful!
