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.
This morning, I dragged Ed down to Carver, MA, for the New England Bantam Club's spring show. 
It was neat to see all the fancy birds, and it was especially cool to watch the Serama judging. I've never seen that before! The owner/handler sets the li'l bird on a table in front of the judge and then does whatever they need to in order to encourage the bird to strut its stuff and show off its feathers and form. It was fun to watch! 
Afterward, we found a local Mexican restaurant and celebrated Cinco de Mayo properly. The food was delish!
