April 10th it snowed; and it did the same thing on the 11th. Then it melted on the 12th. And on the 13th we had a thunderstorm that dropped enough hail that it was still visible in the grass this morning. Must be spring.
For a while, it poured large flakes and they weren’t sticking to anything, but then that changed. Everybody we talked to that day was freaking out. It was actually pretty comical.
Had a new visitor in the yard, a hen Turkey. She was having a fit that I was taking her picture. She didn’t think that was at all called for, and she scampered up the hill, following the deer trail.
She had a fit when I opened the door and pointed the camera in her direction, running back and forth behind a screen of bushes between the house and garage, before she finally decided to skedaddle. I told her, “Ha! I took your picture!” and she just kept on leaving. She’d be appalled if she knew it was going to be posted on the net 🙂
This whole week has been taken up by bathroom remodeling #3. We replaced the floor with 12″x12″ tiles, and the bathroom vanity counter top with 2″x2″ both of which were used in the shower remodel we did late last year.
It looks so much nicer now!
No more funky blue tile on the counter top which I installed and didn’t ever finish because I decided I hated it shortly after I put it in. Wish I’d decided that before, but timing is everything.
Just some sheetrock repairs to be done, and then we can repaint the walls. Yay! Another thing almost off my wish list of things to fix around here.
This weekend is all about the garden. We’re going to be super busy, but it should be tons of fun. Our peach tree is here and so are the potato starts.  And we’ll start seeds for the greenhouse – tomatoes, peppers, and veronicas 🙂
We had been wondering where the strawberries were and our neighbor Amy just brought a box which Fedex had “thoughtfully” left on top of our freaking mailbox on the highway. And it froze last night. No excuse for that sort of behavior. Can’t believe they did that again. Morons.
