Arrrgh!!!

Spring has officially arrived. Elegante Mother noticed that the squill which grows around the base of a tree in our grove is in full bloom. I'll find sprigs of it here and there on the north lawn, courtesy of our chipmunk redecorators, but the largest patch has been extending away from a tree that is at the northwest corner of the house. Now that so many dead trees have been cut down, there's more sunlight in that area. I wonder if next year we will see a bigger patch of squill?

My youngest sis, and her two daughters are coming for a visit this weekend. We hope to make a trip to Chicago. The youngest one has requested a visit to Chinatown. I hope our weather cooperates!

We're about halfway done with our three-quilt project. I need to call the woman who is quilting the tops for Elegante Mother and see if she is ready for me to pick up the second and drop off the third. I have the last of the binding cut, and may get it assembled tomorrow.

The lawyer has sent me a laundry list of all the information she needs to be able to proceed with our revocable trusts. I have several fairly large projects in the works right now, and that's one of them. I hope several of them will be off my desk before Spring is officially over. Don't these people know I'm supposed to be in the garden!!!?

Ed has had his one month checkup at the vet. I don't know if he tripped the Geiger counter or not, but I'll know the results of the blood test by Saturday. He's gained a quarter of a pound. They didn't say if that was good or bad. Mr. Feisty swiped at me as I went to close the door of the cat carrier and got me good. It's a good thing I'm still on antibiotics for that finger infection! The vet would have been more concerned for me if Ed had bitten me. She says mouth germs are more dangerous than claw scratches.

My niece has come through all her biopsies and surgery well, and has started chemo. We have high hopes that she is going to sail through her treatment, and come out strong.

I'm ready for summer meals. We're doing spinach salad tomorrow night, and I think salad is going to be a major player in the menu now. I need to find a few new salads to throw into the mix. I'll have to take my notebook with to write down appealing combinations when we go out to eat. *G*

I hope you are all safe from the dangerous weather this Spring is bringing. I'll have to tell you tomorrow how we weathered this evening's thunderstorms.

Stay safe!
