Hello? Is there anybody out there? [cue in crickets chirping ] Oh wait, it's ME who's been away...hee hee! Just a quick post to let you know I'm ALIVE, I'm WELL, and I'm HERE!

I love that when others are sad you give them kisses and loves. I love that you love green apples (granny smiths). I love that there are many foods you love that many adults have never tried or heard of. I love you because you are adventurous. I love you because you are a little shy. I lov

Hello everybody! Hope your Monday is off to a good start…for a Monday. Here's a recap with some pics taken from the weekend. peekaboo! I’m still dreaming about yesterday – the weather here was most incredible. Simply gorgeous and wonderful to be outside and soak in the sun (not all pics shown were taken yesterday - Saturday's weather wasn't as spectacular as Sunday's). Of course, the weekend was filled with garden time but it was the weekend we needed to have our garden in shape for the season. Being part of a community garden there are rules to be kept and meeting the cultivation deadline is one of them. It’s all good though. We hired a nephew to come weed (yay). I’d do it but someone’s gotta keep up with YS2! So while nephew weeded the strawberry bed, Yardsnacker tilled the plots. It’s looking good now. Soon we’ll be planting all of our goodies. We went for several walks this weekend too – along with everyone else it seems in the neighborhood. That means lot
