I woke up this morning to the sound of Dove calling to each other and a Mocking Bird doing his best Bob White impersonation. There were undertones of squirrels chattering to each other. I told Stan we sure have a noisy yard.
The new dishwasher looks great. I called home while the installer was still at the house and he and Stan were having way too much fun. I'm thinking this is about the happiest I've ever seen him. Retirement really suits him.
I plan to spend some time outside this weekend working in the garden. It isn't quite to the last average freeze date but we can cover anything that's too tender if we have a light freeze. I have one eggplant and one squash in an old garden that have wintered over for two years now. The eggplant is over a foot tall and the squash is about a foot long across the ground. I know we had a really mild winter this year but last year was brutal. These two must really want to be here.
Well, I'm off to make bread.
