Less than 6 months later!

I took the plastic bags off a couple of months ago when the stems no longer pulled out of the soil because the roots had taken hold, and forgot to post about it. Oops! Anyway, they're covered in buds and ready for transplanting. I'm pleased with how well they've done! 

Eek!

Houston is soooo proud of himself. The dogs are leaving puddles of drool on the floor that I just cleaned, and they're trapped 'cause he won't let them walk past his treasure! 🤣 Never a dull moment! I guess I'll just wash that floor again...

The icing on the cake...

Happy Mother's Day

What a whirlwind of a weekend! After an early trip to Standish to work on the house cleanup, we surprised Ed's mom with dinner & a movie Saturday afternoon -  we laughed, we cheered, and we cried. It was a great show!

Nate has wanted to show Ed where Devil's Den is for ages, so we went for a hike on North Mountain. Of course, Ed has no more interest in going inside a cave than I do, but we're always up for a hike! We couldn't figure out why the ravens were making such a ruckus, until we continued back down the trail under the cliffs - their nest is on the other side! 

I also made sure to squeeze in a quick visit to the cemetery to plant dahlias for Mom. I'm glad I can still do this one little thing for her.

Ahhh...

Relaxing around the campfire sure feels good after a crazy busy day! 

When your food is this colorful...

This is such a simple, nutritious, and delicious meal - coat everything in olive oil and spices, then roasted at 400 degrees. It doesn't get much better than that! 

This is turning into an antique auto blog...

Just kidding! 🤣 

But, I can't resist photographing them, even if it's in the middle of the night. This one is a li'l rough and the edges, which I like!
