Hi, guys! We’re all well here at Chez Buffy. I’ve been busy working on taxes, and helping to settle Elegante Mother into her new digs. I have been working on the edges of SPRING CLEANING…..emptying out boxes of papers I didn’t need to store in the first place, and reorganizing my “stuff.”
Things are starting to green up here in the Chicago suburbs. The first of my daffodils opened yesterday, and the star magnolia is getting ready to burst into bloom. Some miserable four-footed visitor has eaten the tops off the day lilies that are growing out in the herb garden, but they’re pretty hardy. They’ll come back.
My cranky old cat, Edward Scissorhands, had his annual checkup and shots last week. He’s still hanging in there, but he’s painfully thin. He’s delighted, as we all are, that it’s warmed up a bit so he can go out. He used to stand near the door and quietly mew that he’d like to go out. Now he stomps into my office and shouts “OUT!!!”
Frankie (from Just My Opinion) (my youngest sis), is here for several days, helping me sort through some of Elegante Mother’s things, visiting with My-Sister-The-Nurse, and joining us for Easter. She’ll be taking her God-mother to visit with EM on Saturday. I wish I had her energy. I spent most of my time running to keep up with her! I’m so glad she’s come to visit.
I need to help Dear Husband with dinner. Last night we did Tortilla Soup, and tonight we are working on Chicken Fajitas. It’s odd to have Mexican food two days in a row, but I doubt anyone will complain. More sour cream, anyone???
If I don’t make it back before Easter, I hope you all have a lovely day.
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
Welcome back Buffy….
So good to see all is well with you at Chez Buffy. Looks like you are just going about your business…taxes, getting EM settled…checking out your gardens, and having some visitors. That’s about par for you sweetie. That Tortilla soup sounds really good, and lordy how I love chicken fajitas….mmmmmm. I’d never complain about that.
Happy Easter sweetie…..relax, put your feet up and have a chocolate bunny on me. Love, Joy
Pleased that someone put some more money in the meter! I was quite concerned for the few days your site vanished.
So pleased to hear it’s all going well, and hope you enjoy the long weekend.
Thank you, Joy, thank you! I’ll have to put a link to that Tortilla soup recipe. It’s yummy. It may be that people who are more used to Southwest cuisine would like it hotter, and that option is available. I just love the complex mix of flavors and seasoning. Easter dinner will be like that, too. *S* Happy Easter, my friend!
Hi,Blue Witch! I’ve been so busy that I’ve been blogging in my head again. It wasn’t until the last two days that I realized we weren’t “on the air.” ~T~ has taken care of us, and we’re back on line.
I hope you and Mr. BW are enjoying good weather. Have a great weekend!
Sounds like spring is sproinging over there. Hope the taxes went well and that EM is sdjusting well!
I’m with BW in being thankful that someone put the money in the meter. We did trust in your return. Glad to see that you’re back!
Bogie, taxes have turned out just FINE! *G* I have to get signatures and then I can mail them tomorrow. It’s always a relief to get to the point where we can set all that aside!
Spring has sproinged! My early daffodils all opened in time for Easter, and even the Darwin hybrid tulips opened today. I was really pleased to have perenials in bloom. I added Johnny Jump Ups and Pansys to the planter just outside the door, and we decorated the tables with more pots of the little Violas.
It’s good to be back, Cop Car. I hope you’re feeling better. I missed visiting with you.
