Weston's Experiment

Weston wanted to know if the Easter Bunny is real...

He set this all up on his own.

Looks like we had about the same kind of day that Dad did in Moscow. We mowed the lawn, trimmed a tree and planted a little garden (I felt kind of weird planting things in April, but everything we can find says we're out of the frosty season. Guess that's one of the benefits of living in the South). I got a new toy this last week and somehow we decided to ride to the nursery to pick up some potting soil and plants for the garden. 25 miles through parks, neighborhoods, and highways, but we made it back with all of our loot. The trailer rode a little better than the one I used to hook to my red, banana seat bike as a kid (dad, do you remember the hitch you welded up to hook that trailer to my bike?).

Gettingt Closer

This week we picked up the new tub, vanity, floor tile, and mirror. We now have everything except the bull-nose tile that goes around the bathtub. We ordered 66 pieces and when they arrived 44 of them were broken. They are now trying to find more. It turned out to be a discontinued pattern from Home Depot and there are not many left in the country. As soon as we get all the pieces and parts we will contact the contractor and get going.
Yesterday was a beautiful day. I blew leaves, mowed the lawn, and put the pads back on the swing on the deck. Then I sat out there and read a Loui L'Amour book. The old forehead looks a little pink this morning. Today looks pretty good too, just a few high clouds. Mom is cleaning the "game room" so we can get to the water shut-off and inspect the floor of the bathroom. It's amazing what she is finding. Can anyone say old football helmets, 1000 piece puzzles, etc. Hopefully we will back the pickup up and load a bunch of it up for the land fill.
Enjoy the spring weather.
