When we returned from a youth activity, A&E had a surprise for us! They had found a "free" air-hockey table and carried it home. At first we weren't sure it would fit anywhere, but if the pingpong table is folded up, there is a spot for it. I have a feeling that after a few months, it will lose its allure. But it is fun!
And I have to show the magnolia tree at its height in bloom. And it continues to rain--a lot.
Alice had her birthday, with a "citrus" cake (lemon cake with some orange food coloring in one layer). In stead of going to a restaurant for her birthday dinner, we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire in the new fire pit. (Alice's choice!) We have plenty of wood in the little grove behind our house. And since our town now has a burn ban except for "recreational" fires, the old wood has been piling up.
Each morning, now matter how I am feeling, when I look out on this scene, my heart is uplifted and gladdened. The long, cool spring has kept the flowers blooming. We had a touch of frost yesterday morning, but nothing was hurt.
Happy Spring!

If you get sick of your hockey table, just bring it out to Idaho this summer on top of the Odyssey. I'm sure it will be a blast at Grandma Bailey's.
ReplyDeleteToo bad it won't fold up...
