I Got Down In The Dirt! and Other Stuff

 

Grocery store flowers
On Wednesday afternoon while Tom was doing more work outside I geared up with my old baggy sweat pants, knee pads. garden tool belt, my outdoor walking stick and my five gallon bucket for getting up and down and went outside to work on cleaning up this bed.
Eventually Tom came to help me finish, but it felt great to be outside and contribute. Tom has things looking very spiffy.


I got a sweet little Blue tooth speaker for Christmas. It plays my iTunes music which I have on my phone. 

I was trying to recharge it and it kept flashing red. I finally called JBL tech support. With advice from the tech I tried out the cord and plug I was using. Turns out the transformer plug plugged into the outlet was no good. I found another one. Problem solved. I do love it when fixes are simple!

We found Dungeness crab on sale at the grocery store this morning. We ended up buying more than we needed - Don't leave husband unattended in the store. Irene loves crab but Jill and Isaac don't. We have invited Irene over to eat crab with us this evening. Yum!

And now, more pretty grocery store flowers.

    We find it hard to give upon some things just because we're aging. It took a long time to get through my thick skull that I should stay off ladders.

    You have the MOST beautiful flowers in Seattle. We were at Pike Place Market and couldn't get over all the incredible bouquets.

    I bet it was lovely getting your hands in the dirt again. The smell of the spring in the soil!

    Nice you could work out in the garden, we tried yesterday but it was too cold. I love crab very good. Your flowers have beautiful spring colours!

    Yeah, I don't like crab either -- Too messy! Haha. But enjoy it.

    I'm so pleased that I can now get off the ground or the floor without anyone helping. I look a little spiderlike, but I can do it!
