Ed the electrician got a lot done today at Edgewater.  I’m hoping Peter will be very pleased with the new lighting.  Heaven knows, it’s got to be better than the clunkers he’s been living with for the past 10+ years.

Ron dropped off the redeemables and did a little shopping at the thrift shop across the parking lot.  Got himself a handsome silver and turquoise necklace and a family tree book which he wants to bring to his reunion later this month.

I added a salvia and another Gaura to the new grass garden.  We picked up two hangers at Roche for $5 each.

Bonnie let me take some rhubarb home and I made a sauce with strawberries and maple syrup.  No supper, too full from lunch.

Rachel at Soares says leave the roses alone, they will recover from the caterpillars.  Ron hooked up the soaker hose for them today.

Iris have started.  There’s a flower on one tomato plant!

Pinks that wintered over in the window boxes have started blooming.

Added a Gaura to the new grass garden.  Saw a hummer today.

Had to crank down the modem firewall to get work done yesterday.

Lilacs have a lot of blooms, but no scent.

Ron pointed out how much the tiny fir trees have grown.

First strawberry.

We were totally out of cookies, so I being too lazy to go shopping, baked oatmeal bars.

New sunglasses (2-fer) arrived today.  They are the bomb!

Walked a little along the Popponesset Spit today – magnificent. Then, South Cape.

Started weeding the grass garden at Edgewater yesterday. Transplanted what looked like a small grass to our back yard. More to do, but a decent start.

Minor problem with Aereo from the change in IP that they resolved in all of five minutes. Impressive!

Midas removed the rattling heat shield this morning, no charge (nice!)

Switched out modems; we now have one with wireless built in. Hooked up the Vonage “device” and set up the computers with the new network.

Ron is out with the trimmer. He let me sleep in this morning, made coffee, woke me in time to get tothe appointment at Midas, set up the sprinkler. What a guy!

Ron asked for Jambalaya the other day. Roche had raw shrimp on sale yesterday, so we picked some up on the way back from meeting Peter at Edgewater. I made up a batch today so Ron could eat before his shift at the boat ramp.

I’ve got Pandora on and am enjoying a gorgeous breeze.

Added Google Analytics back in to the Foreclosures website. Made a change to MRS and blew out the page; can’t get back in to fix it.

Cleaned out the sprayer and loaded it with BT from the Feed & Garden. Sprayed all the roses and the little maple tree.

Ron mowed the lawn.

We had a really nice lunch (as always) at the Upper Cape Tech restaurant.

Heat shield on the truck is rattling. Got an appointment at Midas on Saturday.

James and I got it on the truck yesterday; Ron and I planted it today. Beautiful!

Got an appointment with Dr. Gray today. She found inflammation in my right eye, but no infection. Especially prominent on top of my eye, which is about where I’ve been having problems.

Cardio doc wants to see me on Friday. Well, I guess if it were really urgent, he’d want to see me sooner.

It’s been drizzling all day. Ron is still outside getting things in order.  Peter Randall is here doing his Spring treatment.

Had the nuclear stress test today.

Ron donated blood at the library. I have to wait a couple of weeks.

Dug up one of the big grasses at Edgewater, brought it here for planting.

“Stop interrupting me,” “I just said that,” and “No explanation needed.”

It’s 6:38, and traffic on the Mid-Cape is still backed up to beyond Exit 3.

I wonder if these travelers think it was worth it.
