Spring surprise

Marty and the grands left about 8 this morning, and arrived safely. It was fun to have them here.

We got started on our usual Sunday stuff - breakfast, CBS Sunday Morning, laundry - all the usual fun activities. But then Flo Jean called. They were on their way to Florida and a cruise. We met them at Cracker Barrel for lunch. We just don’t get to see them often enough, so it was special.

John did the first mowing of the season this afternoon. Speaking of the yard, I found a real treat in the yard the other day. I had planted a lilac bush right after we moved here 23+ years ago. It’s never bloomed - obviously just doesn’t get cold enough in the winter here for a lilac to do well. Amazingly, this spring there are TWO bloom clusters on this lilac. We’ve totally ignored it - and I actually thought I had dug it up. So the blooms were a total surprise. You never know what you’ll get in the spring around here.
