We are promised a cool spell starting this weekend. I'll believe it when I feel it.
Appear to have made the transfer to the new ship OK, but still have to sort out an avatar...
[Miss Amanda will get her wrap.]
Next morning he was awoken by chainsaws at 7 am - a huge oak tree in next door's garden had fallen straight across the road, taking out the street light (hence the darkness!) It had also neatly taken out the motorhome parked in the garden of the people across the road.
Mercifully this was a few weeks before Christmas; they'd planned to have guests sleeping there over the holidays :-O
Mrs. S, very wary of big trees these days
I guess it might be good to take all my different allergy meds before I go, since oaks, pines and mangoes are blooming profusely. My car is turning yellow!!
As is the case with so many things we love to do in our youths, he had to eventually give up flying. That was about twenty-five or twenty-six years ago, and his last flight was with Daughter-Unit, who was about four or five years old, as co-pilot. Mom gave him a gift certificate to fly as a Christmas gift, and yesterday was the day he used it! (I got to be a passenger in the back seat!)
It was such a gorgeous day, and we flew over the islands off the west coast of my fair state. The water was clear and sparkling.
Dad flying the plane. That's his head just showing above the seat. Dad beside the plane after we landed.
I once had a 'taster' flying lesson, and it wasn't for me, but it was lovely to fly over the hills and woods near where we live.
MMM
A few hundred walked past on the main drag, to an accompaniment of many, many car and truck horns. I couldn't compete, but I clapped and shouted anyway.
My sympathies.
Between the smoke and the pollen, I have bronchitis again.
Spring is fully here, with my perennials starting to come back. Pollen counts have to be high as well, judging from my nose. Planting some chard and lettuce in a seed starting tray, and watching Kansas-Duke and fondly remembering my grandmother’s brother in law, Uncle Les, a huge Jayhawks fan, who was the last of that generation to pass this winter.
Crikey! Don't even think about sending it in our direction!
Sorry you had to miss Palm Sunday though - that's a total pain.
They mulched my peonies and raked my yard. I had wanted them to clean my screen porch, but this would have meant setting stuff out in the driveway, and rain was threatening. I'm glad to have the raking and mulching taken care of.
