Week 14

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  Last week was a very full week back to work and school schedules with many after-hour meetings making for super long days. Thankfully this week looks to be much better and not as booked.  The weather has been very spring like and super nice, but we are heading into another drought and already concerned about fires which nobody is thrilled about. We need more rain but the forecast is bleak with temps in the 90's expected for next week--crazy!  It's only April and we need those April showers. Maybe May will be a soaker--who knows anymore?

Switching gears here with last week's pictures:

Day 95- Monday, 4/5/21

We just got back from a nice long walk and she's been seeking out extra love lately since we were gone a lot last week.  On that walk we saw this beautiful Wisteria growing along a neighbor's fence.  It looks like a fancy decoration--so pretty.

Day 96- Tuesday, 4/6/21

We had this nice Korean short-rib dinner over the weekend, and as I heated some up as leftovers for Brandon's dinner tonight, our friendly resident carnivore paid me a visit.

Day 97- Wednesday, 4/7/21

Happy Birthday to John and Bella!  We opened presents and had cake while everyone was here for Easter, and tonight, for a special birthday dinner, we had yummy Mexican food from Zocalo To Go complete with blackberry margaritas. 

Day 98- Thursday, 4/8/21

While out back, on a break from Zoom meetings, I noticed that all 3 of my rose bushes are in bloom.  This means it's time to get the rest of the yard in shape and ready for use.  I especially need to pull weeds around these bushes so their beauty is highlighted instead of cheapened.

Day 99- Friday, 4/9/21

This was the best way to end a very long and stressful week.  Plus I needed a picture for a "Pieces of Me" project that included my feet.

Day 100- Saturday, 4/10/21

It was a beautiful weekend to be outside so I worked on cleaning up that overgrown backyard and discovered that one of our trees has flowers growing in random places on the trunk--love the effect and took this picture for the Pieces of Me 1/2 face prompt. Later, it was family movie night and we finally got around to watching Godzilla vs Kong which was fine until the robotic Godzilla showed up.  So not necessary.  Oh well, at least the scarcely seen teenager joined us so time still well spent.

Day 101- Sunday, 4/11/21

John got to play with one of his birthday presents today.  He now has a portable, high-heat, pizza oven that cooks pizzas in minutes. It's pretty cool, but there is a sharp learning curve that takes a lot of practice.  For next time we have a list of things we'd change to try and make it easier.  This pictured pizza turned out looking pretty good while others did not, but they all tasted great which is what really counts. The boys were afraid since the pizzas were small there wouldn't be enough but no one left hungry or disappointed. Valiant first effort!

That's all for this week.  Hope to see you back on the next one.
