Spring... And Miss Fisher....

.
"Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer."
~Geoffrey B. Charlesworth

"Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries."  A fun romp, about a wealthy and glamorous private detective, in 1920's Melbourne.   These tales of "Pry-nee" are a romp, and the costumes are delicious.

LOVELY weekend.......

Father and son, chatting over the back fence, on a lovely Saturday morning...
.
Our grandson, the "squirrel whisperer"...  :-)   This baby squirrel became attached to him.  Crawling up to his shoulders and sitting there, watching the world go by.  When he put the baby squirrel down, it would follow him...

Later, the baby squirrel went to Animal Rescue. 

They already are trying to keep a nest of surviving baby rabbits safe.  Until it's silly mother, takes them away.  -sigh-

All this, with their own dog!!!!
.
I grabbed an iron rake, and dug/pulled up the matted dirt and weed roots, which were covering some of the bricks, on our old back patio!  You can see the process, in the above photo.
.
And here are results!  I have more to dig/pull up.  And need to sweep or hose the dirt away.  But this is an accomplishment!  Bringing our old patio bricks and rocks back out, into the sun!  :-)
.
Air War Games going on, again this morning.  Good thing!!!!  With all the provocation, we are getting, from our enemies!!!

Now, if only we had a Commander In Chief, who had the guts, to act like a man.  Instead of to just wander around, with his nose in the air, and his head, in the clouds.

Grrrrrr....

Signs of Spring...

Sign of Spring....  Chalk drawing on driveway...
.
Spring sunshine and shadows, on a carriage house...
.
With nicer weather, we actually went out to eat...

On Instagram, I see Prosecco.  So I finally had a single serving bottle of it, for myself.  Sparkling!  Delicious!
.
His meal was Lobster Ravioli in Alfredo Sauce.  :-)
Yummm....
.
Mine was Chicken Marsala over Gluten Free corn pasta.  Yummmmm....

For 6 days a week, we eat healthy.
Sunday, is the day for "treats"...
