On my mid morning stroll around 10:15 walked 2 blocks over to see friend, Marcia 'spur of the moment' idea
As I walked up the porch steps, Tage starting barking, I knocked on door, walked in he got so excited tail wagging entire body wiggling.He proceed to sit on the couch,his tail was going a mile a minute LOL!
Marcia&I had a nice chat,20 min later as I got up to leave, bent down to hug him goodbye,he licked my ear, just like his great uncle' Aker' used to do-priceless!

Very good news!

Your NLNL is a soap opera tale. Can't imagine what she'll do next. Good grief!

sounds like there's some mental issues going on there

It's a mixed day here... On the positive side, the trees/flowering bushes are beautiful: the Bradford pear and dogwoods look like drifts of white lace and tulle respectively. The Azaleas are out in all their magenta/pink/salmon glory. The wisteria drapes languidly from trees and trellises. Some bush I don't know the name of have cascades of yellow clusters of flowers the shade of lemon chiffon. New England has Leaf Peepers in the fall.... the South puts on it's gala in spring and it's a show-stopper this year

It's warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the breeze and sunshine (which is what Ed and I did after a lunch of pulled chicken from the local BBQ place.) I did have to take 5 min and clean the pollen off the chairs first; I could have grown carrots in what had accumulated.

There are some other things that are kind of dragging me down, emotionally. Offspring that need a job (and one a life, sigh); others struggling with tech school.

Ah well....

Working on the 18th Variation of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini, and my fingers hurt.

Eight years of piano lessons. I can read music and know that if I sit where I'm supposed to, middle C is directly across from the belly button. I was so bad that of those eight years, I only played in two recitals.
Sigh.

If I hadn't known how to read music, I wouldn't/couldn't have played clarinet, trombone, trumpet. So there's that🎶

also treated to the fact that she got a big increase in her SSDI...to $350/month.

Then she proceeded to tell Sir that she "made" $2K over the weekend with a catering job but didn't say whether that was gross or net. He didn't ask. She has a bigger one coming up in a couple of weeks and would he be interested in working for her?

This woman is really over the top. Way, way over.
And that refers to the top of Mt Everest, I would guess!

@CinnamonSugar One of my azaleas has started to bloom. Sooo pretty. When I was at the garden center at HomeDepot, I saw purple azaleas. Yup. Don't know if they've been around and I just haven't noticed or if they're something new.

Right now the garden is mostly just starting to green up, but there are daffodils, snapdragons, anenomes, a few hyacinths that the bunnies have missed, some senetti, and the azalea. The rest of the azaleas will be a while before blooming. It's enough to keep me happy for a few weeks until there are more flowers available.

Some of our trees are budding out. The flowering plum trees are mostly all blooming. Dogwoods are probably a couple of weeks away yet.

And then there's the pollen...need I say more?

This year, I'm gonna be concentrating on annuals. The perennials just require too much tending, and it wears me out looking after them.

Like this, @Georgiagranny ? This is the purplest I’ve seen…

Nope. Real purple.

I have to ask. Would it be considered really, truly gauche to eat ice cream straight out of the carton? This Caramel Delight, Kroger's store brand, is so good that it's probably against the law. If I eat it all, right now, I will have disposed of the evidence...

Okay. So I put it in a bowl. It's not like there's anybody here who'd see me eating out of the carton, and not like anybody except me eats it.

And now I gotta say goodnight because I gotta get up and go make croissants so that the world is safe for democracy and stuff.
