First White

Today I saw our first white butterfly.  I tried to take a photo of him, but I couldn't get very close.  But he's there, a little right of center, on the kale.

Signs of Spring

We're having rather spring-like weather and things are starting to pop out.

 The Indian plum is blooming.

The blueberries and peach and nectarine trees are showing color in their buds.

And the daffodils are out in full force. 

Daphne!!!

Last Potatoes

Today we finished the Yukon Gold potatoes.  I put six little ones in the soup for lunch and I roasted the last big one for dinner. 

They lasted pretty well.  They were starting to sprout and get wrinkly, but still good.

Last of the 70s

Today we finally got rid of the last remaining evidence that this house was built in 1972.  The tub enclosure in the main bathroom had an impossibly ugly plastic shower curtain.

We now have a really nice glass shower door.

Lunch on the New Deck

Today we had lunch on our new deck.  It was 43 degrees, but sunny.

Finished Deck

Today Jeff finished the new deck.  We had originally planned to put benches in the two far corners, but he suggested a plant stand instead.  We really like what he did.
