An April Day
 Come along with me on a day that proved to be therapeutic as well as productive. I was on a mission to collect information on plants and get groceries afterward. Yay for smartphones! By snapping pictures rather than writing down the details on paper or typing it into my phone gardening list I was able to compile a list easily and quickly.

Comparing prices and plants at several greenhouses is beneficial in that it makes the actual shopping day, a week or two hence, seem more orderly and productive.

These flowers proclaim my color for the year. Red it is, the one shade I have been avoiding due to the red brick covering our house. Now it's time to give it a go.

It was cause to slowly and cautiously trickle out into the sunlight on the back porch. Some of the gang thought it was too cold but most of us ended up out there to catch a few rays and watch the kids play.

How happy I am to be reunited with my darling nieces and nephews. They light up my life!

I look at these gamesters whirling about and decide it's easier …
