28 and a robin

 We had a couple of Robins in our yard on Wednesday.  Far Guy was calling for them.  I saw them but did not have my camera. 

Yesterday I saw them and my camera was handy. 

One on the left and one hiding in the shadows.

On our way to town the willows are showing their first yellow hue. 

I picked up the grocery order from Wally World and then went to the other grocery store in town for things that were not available while Far Guy had his weekly infusion. 

Supper: Ham, turkey and cheese on flat bread..our version of a sub:)

Minnesota weather:  The car said it was 74F on our way home.  High 79F or 26C  Low was 32F or 0C.

Happy 28th Birthday to our Granddaughter Maddie!  Love you lots!

A finish

 I finally finished the afghan that has been in the works for a just about a year. I started it in June of 2025. 


The back is just about as pretty as the front.  The pattern is Apache Tears and I used a 3.5 hook and all different colors of yarn.   It is good to have it done. 

We had a quiet day on Wednesday.  Far Guy worked in his garage.  I did some laundry and all kind of misc things...not much that shows.  I picked up some sticks in the yard and soaked up some sunshine while reading a book.

We had leftovers for supper. No cooking just warming up!

Minnesota weather: High 67F or 19C  Low was 40F or 4C.

Dermatology

 We had Dermatology appointments.  Last year Far Guy's Breast Cancer diagnosis came about through a Dermatology appointment....for what he thought was a cyst. Anyways they are important appointments.

Far Guy got an all clear...see you in six months. 

I had two biopsies one on my leg and one on my arm...the one on my arm looks nasty.  We will wait for the biopsy report and go from there. 

The best part...going to Kentucky Fried Chicken for the Tuesday special.  So supper was easy peasy:)


Some Minnesota scenery. 

Minnesota weather: High 52F or 11C  Low was 35F or 2C

A sign

 There is a sign of Spring out there.


Can you see them?


How about now?  The Pussy willows!

Far Guy and I went out for a ride on Ranger Blue looking for Spring.  Other than deer in our yard, a couple  ducks down at the river and a chippy feeding on a deer carcass...the Pussy willows were our big find for the evening ride. 

We made pizza for supper.  Far Guy putzed the day away.  I did some laundry and worked on the parts for May Baskets. 

Minnesota weather: High 53F or 12C  Low was 39F or 4C.

Going

It rained, it was warm...we had snow fog all morning on Sunday...the snow melts so fast it makes it foggy.  We did not get to the forecasted 70F.

June is going...going...but not gone yet.


 Not a speck of green anywhere.

Sunday afternoon we had lunch at my other baby brothers and she who sees robins first...hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad and all the fixings.  It was really yummy!   We missed seeing one of their daughters ( she was working) and two grandsons in  North Dakota...everyone else was there.  Fun to see them all again after a long Winter...the little kids are getting taller! 

Minnesota weather: High 64 F or 18C  Low was 40F or 4C.
