Saturday Slight


Busy Saturday ahead.  Willie's already been here to pick up his geocaching goodies from Annie.  She brought over a bunch of stuff from Groundspeak for prizes.

Right now, Annie's downstairs chewing on her well-done morning pizza.  Her friends Charity and Siggy (from Germany) are already up from a short night's sleep out in the new old motorhome.

By 8 or so folks will be on the road headed for the high school where Annie will be putting on a geocaching seminar this morning.

I've already been on the road, to feed the neighbors' horse while they're gone for the weekend. 

And, there's the promise of an end to the bad weather.  At least, the birds are singing that song this morning.  And, Tom Sherry assured us that tomorrow and for several days we're going to get a touch of spring.  

Since today looked busy, I drove up to Moose Valley Farms yesterday (my classmate Mary owns the place).  Besides getting in some nice visiting with Maureen and with Mary's sister Patti, I picked up a couple of boxes of flowers and more strawberry starts.  
The weather held long enough in the late afternoon for me to get most of the strawberries into the ground. 

I'm hoping to have time during the day to lug several carts of barnyard gold to the garden.  And, then some planting will start.  

Maybe, just maybe if it stays dry for two days, I can mow the lawn.  

For now, things are starting to get pretty, and I'm figuring by next weekend, this place will be entering the height of its spring beauty.  That will be more appreciated than ever.  

Better get down and visit with our guests.  Have a happy Saturday wherever you are.
