We seemed to have gone straight from winter to spring; do not pass go, etc. Not that I'm complaining, mind you! It's been in the 70s-80s and sunny for a solid week now. And we've been busy! I think we spent more time outdoors this week than most of last year in total. Well, sorta.
Yesterday we hoofed it over to the racetrack (see what I did there?) for opening day. Ah, the noble running of the ponies...and we did well! Better than usual! I won on three races and M won one also. We ended up on the plus side, considering how much we laid out for food and risky $2 bets. That's how we roll.
Today we repented for our sins, and dutifully buckled down for some yardwork. M and O played entertaining versions of soccer and baseball out back. Everything is weeded and almost ready for planting. I made beef stew in the crockpot, which is such a refreshingly light meal for an over-80 day.
Oh, and Friday there were garage sales! Lots! Granted, I spent a total of twenty-five cents on a Yoshi McDonalds toy that we already had, because as Owen always says, 'It's ok if you have two of something.'
Sure, kid. Tell that to our cluttered disaster of a basement. Oh, that's the job for next weekend. Right.
It just occurred to me that I should probably change my icon, all circumstances considered. Oops.
