Retirement

Carol and Maggie out in front after the retirement party.  No, that's not a BIG glass but a ballon that floated in the front to let everyone know where the party was being held.  Thanks Carol, it was a fun party!

Conga Line Retirement Celebration

Everyone celebrated Maggie's and Nanette's retirement.  A conga line was started that ran all over the back yard.  Everyone had fun!!

Retirement Limbo

The retiree ladies held the bar as lots of people tried to go under it.

Spring? 2010

It was getting pretty cold and windy out there today. Covered the lilacs late in the day. About 20 minutes later, yep, had icy hail all over the place. Weather Underground is saying down to 32 tonight and snow down to 1000 feet. Sorry, no pictures it was just hail and farewell.
Guess the old farmers who never planted before Easter had a really good idea for planting at a time when your plants would flourish.

Spring in the NorthWest

Spring has sprung in the Northwest. Plants have been budding and flowering for the last few weeks. We've been waiting for the yearly snow, freezing, etc. According to the Rose Society we have been hit late in the year other years and it has caused some really bad rose plant trauma. Our roses are all leafing and growing great guns. Talked with a man at church who has lived up here all his life and he said some of the last few wet/snowy winters are really on a 8-10 year cycle and this is more the normal type of year. Haven't had as much rain either this year (2010) although the end of '09 had its fair share along with a reasonably bad couple of days of snow. First picture of the plum tree just doesn't do the flowering justice so did a couple of close-ups. Enjoy!
