Getting the Jobs Done!

 Today is Sunday and it is raining a little bit.  Which is great because we had two 80 degree days this week and I had to water some of the fragile plants!  And then, of course, it rained.

We have a bumper crop of pollen ~ too bad the genius minds of this country can't find a fabulous use for it!  

You can see the nice mulching job and our new gate across the front porch.  I am very happy!

I got out in the back yard this morning and did some work before the rain started.  I got Jane's oak tree from Elon repotted and cleaned up some of the other pots and raised bed.

Amy is putting together a new desk so she can move her office into the dining room which I think is a great idea.

Loki is a bit freaked out and thinks we are moving.

And I am in charge of breaking down all the cardboard boxes. And there are a bunch of them.

On other fronts, Amy is feeling better ~ COVID really was not her friend ~ and she was finally able to start the process to get her passport so she can attend THE Royal Windsor Horse Show in London in May.  Of this year.  Well, apparently you have to get an appointment to turn in your documents if your passport is lost or expired.  And it is a much more tricky process and, as we found out, not very forth coming.

We had to go to the Clerk of Courts in Hillsborough and they sent us to Roxboro, who doesn't "do this" anymore.  So Amy sent a sad e-mail to the people in Hillsborough and contacted the State Department in DC so she could walk it thru.  Nope.  Not happening.  No appointments thru April.  But miracle of miracles, the Hillsborough people contacted Amy and said they would meet her at 9am Monday and take care of it.  Amy asked what kind of candy did the lady like (who was so helpful) and she said anything sour, so we got her 5 pounds of sour candy!!!

The town of Roxboro

And while I was watering, I was surprised by our first toad!!!!! Very exciting!!!!

And in the world of sports, my basketball brackets are completely busted.  Who picked Florida Atlantic, Miami or Creighton?  Not me.  Thank goodess Opening Day is Thursday!!!!

Ok, for anyone who reads this blog, I was sadly mistaken.  Maren's birthday is not in March...Carole and Tony's anniversary is!!!!!!! So, Happy Anniversary!!!!!

Love,
