The sun came out briefly very bright and very
hot … and we loved every second of it :-D
We went for 2 dike hikes along the sloughs in
town – one around the fancy Golf Course, which in my opinion, was very boring …
and another along the dike we usually walk this time of year hoping to see baby
ducks. There were no babies in sight, but we did see lots of ducks and even spotted the ever illusive turtle:
The turtle is on the green algae mass with its nose stuck up in the air like a snake head.
Then we drove across the border for 3 dozen
fresh eggs and stopped for a tasty Thai meal and Thai Iced tea once we got back
on home turf before stopping at Wal*Mart on our way home. I picked up some Easter
Stuff (NO candy though), and then
picked up 6 bags of soil, 5 strawberry plants, and 5 begonias … the back end of
our Highlander was loaded so heavily that it looked snobbish driving down the
highway with its nose in the air. To our way of thinking it was a true miracle
that its front tires were still making contact with the blacktop. LOL!
Once back home, we unloaded the bags of soil
and filled 2 veggie planter boxes – only a dozen more to go <:-O I am
chomping at the bit to get the boxes filled and planted, so I hope the weather
starts cooperating. There is very limited gardening time in Washington State between
the monsoons and all this prolonged dreary wet weather is eating a third of it
up >:-P
The sunny 70-degree weather felt good; I hope
it comes to stay soon so every day can be a ‘fun in the sun’ day ;-)
