ROW BY ROW
Today it was a lot closer to popsicle weather, even though it shouldn't have been (according to Mr. Weatherman). It was a beautiful afternoon, and we spent some time clearing out the leaves and uncovering new plants. The daffodils were pasing out cigars as a couple of them decided to open up just for us. In addition to the Crocus, we have Tulips, Peonies, Delphinium, Sedum, Lilies, Black-eyed Susans, Shasta daisies, Forget-me-not, Coneflowers, Chrysanthemum, Foxglove, Thrift, Coreopsis and Roses, to name a few.

Although we were popsicle-free, TinyTuna went into full Martha mode and brought out a tray of snacks. I have no idea where she gets this from -- because it sure isn't from me. But she loves nothing more than to rifle through the refrigerator and in various nooks and crannies and present a wonderful, if not highly unusual assortment of snacks. Today we each had a can of pop, and there were boxes of raisins, a container of jello, fig-bars and some mini Chips Ahoy cookies which were left over from a roadtrip. I helped myself to a box of raisins and called it good.

While we raked and pruned and discovered new nubbins, TinyTuna helped in the yard, provided running commentary on nothing in particular, and took breaks to draw on the sidewalk and blow bubbles across the yard. It may not sound terribly exciting, but it was just a really nice afternoon.
