On Saturday we visited the cemeteries where our parents are buried.
It rained a bit, not sure how much but there was a puddle or two. We could still use more!
The woods are finally coming alive...it is a wonder what a little rain will do.
We are headed into a warm spell...I don't like being thrust into Summer so soon in May. I like lots of 70 degree days! Picky picky.
I did some laundry and cleaned a bathroom, we visited two cemeteries and Far Guy planted some wildflowers seeds in the wildgardens.
What's cooking? Far Guy made Spaghetti...it was delicious with homemade bread.
Minnesota Weather on Saturday: High 61F or 16C Low was 44F or 7C.

Hark! Back! Is a look back at blogs that appeared in a now defunct blogging site before I started with blogger in September of 2008. They are in no particular order.

Conversation with a three year old
Last evening I spent some time with one of my Great Nephews...he was three on April first. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday...the party is on Sunday...he replied "Cake." I asked him what kind of presents he wanted..."Balloons." I made the mistake of calling him "Honey"...he replied "My name is not Honey it is Mason." I asked him if I couldn't call him Honey anyway...he replied "No, I am Mason" then he would scrunch up his face, roll his eyes and extend his lower lip. I explained that Honey was a nice name...and he changed the subject.
During my conversation with my new Honey/Mason...I discovered he had a haircut by Pam, had a good day at Barbs, Barb has two dogs with no names, his sister was asleep and so was his Mother, he wants to be an Excavator driver when he gets big, his Grandpa is not my brother, his Grandpa was never ever a little boy, his Dad was never ever little either, his Dad is big and Grandpa is his Dad's favorite.
I have an old jar that I keep on the counter in the kitchen...filled with Tootsie Pop Suckers. Most small children leave the house with a sucker in hand. Mason always chooses one for himself and one for his sister...he wanted a green one again. I have never tried the new green ones...but they have passed the Mason test...he said they are yummy.
Well while I was enjoying my conversation with Mason his Grandmother was out walking and saw six Robins behind our house. She always seems to be really lucky seeing the first Robins of Spring:)

Our Oldest Grandson Noah is 27 years old today!
Happy Birthday Noah!!
He was a climber when he was little...he would climb any ladder especially if his Dad and Grandpa were on a roof...and his Grandma and Mom could hardly believe their eyes how fast those little legs could climb!
He was also a driver and attempted to drive an old pickup down the side of the freeway when his Dad got out to re tie a load in the back of the truck...good thing his Dad was a fast runner.
He was a quick learner and a watcher...we had to hide the keys to the lawn mower and to the three wheeler because he knew the sequence to how they started.
Hot Dogs and Mandarin Oranges kept him well fed...oh yes chocolate milk too.
He is our fourth grandchild and our first grandson. Those were the days in 1999 with four grands under the age of three:)
Love you lots Noah!

Far Guy put the glittered bowling ball in place in its holder. It still needs a bit of touch up.
Big accomplishment for the day...the swelling in my nose is going down and I can breath through BOTH nostrils! Yeah me!
What's cooking? Far Guy made brats (no bun) green beans and a baked potato.
Minnesota Weather: Cool High 61F or 16C Low was 42F or 6C. We need it to rain for at least a week.
