Good Saturday.

Yet another volunteer

Today was beautiful.  Hit Home Depot.   Worked outside in the yard.  Got my new flowers planted.  Fertilized the lawn out back and watered it in.  Hoping a lawn will spring up any day now.  Dug out a dead yaupon holly and replaced it with a new one.  Grocery shopping.  Filled the bird feeders.  Some indoor cleaning.  Reversed the ceiling fans – it’s officially spring now.   (In case you were wondering:  counter-clockwise for summer, clockwise for winter, as you look at the fan from below).  Some work-work.  Cooked a couple of yummy steaks.  Watched Darjeeling Limited with Monte.  Fell asleep on the couch.  Just yer average Saturday.  Waiting for the Easter bunny to show.

Monday.

I don't like Mondays. But I do like these little flowers.

Today started with a dentist appointment.  Lots of meetings.  Lots of new todos.  Too many things to do in one day.   Hard to keep up.

It didn’t stop me from taking a walk outside to watch the flowers grow, though.

Red yucca shoot.

Red Yucca.

One of the 4 red yuccas out back is going to bloom this year.  Woot, woot!

Orchid beauty.

Orchid at home.

I picked up this orchid at the store a couple of weeks ago.  I’ve never had one before.  It has about 8 blooms on it, and this is a new one that opened since I brought it home.
