It has been a very busy week. First had an appointment with orthopedic doctor on Monday. Shopped at Sams...People are stupid. I really needed toilet paper, bleach and rubbing alcohol....not for a virus outbreak but because I was almost out...we did manage to get toilet paper but no bleach or alcohol...we found bleach for $1.19 gallon at Atwoods later and alcohol at the Dollar store for $1.20. Makes me rethink my membership at Sam's. Do I really need it if I can buy the same things cheaper somewhere else. Anyway we then met the youngest son and wife at Sqzbx pizza pub. Ate the most wonderful pizza and had a great visit. They gave me a couple of things for a birthday gift. Their daughter Miss Molly sent me a set of hedgehog salt & pepper shakers and a dance photo of her. I'll share those photos on another post. But here is Carmen and Sean.
The cafe is owned by a former German accordion player. He had accordion lights and piano parts hanging on the walls. The building was built right up next to a mountain side. Old old building. Such wonderful atmosphere. O and they make their own beer.
The rest of the week was spent in the yard while the rains allowed. We cleaned the herb bed and transplanted oregano that was being smothered out by the rosemary. I had bought Sage at Atwoods so got it planted there also. Later will plant basil and parsley between those rows.
You can't tell much from the photo but that big clump is the rosemary.
We also planted lettuce and spinach which was useless as we got a 2.5inch rain in 2 hours which washed the seed and soil to the bottom of the garden. In the meantime the mini-hyacinths have been in full bloom.
And the ground is covered in starflowers.
A note on Kinzey...she got a good brush and bath. She is losing her winter undercoat so it is a daily chore to brush her. We also got her first flea and tick pills.
My birthday was yesterday....turned 69. Had a couple of friends come out and we spent all afternoon digging up iris bulbs. I had asked them if they wanted them as Sonny had planned to mow them down. We removed the iris beds and the commode planters we had out front. As we age, we are trying to simplify our lives more.
That's all...but as usual...
