After the Trip, Part Four

The college pool was still very full this morning, but also still warm, so I enjoyed the workout. Back home, I spent most of my time editing my Texas trip photos, and uploading them to my blog.

Mother used her time to plant lettuce, green onions, and chard in the raised garden. Hubbie potted some plants that he is donating to the Master Gardener plant sale event on Saturday.

After a chicken soup lunch, I went into the yard to take pictures of the blooming plants, shrubs, and trees. When we got back from our trip, the dogwood tree was already at its peak, and by today, it was starting to fade. But there were still some pretty blooms on it. The azaleas are spectacular, in an array of pretty spring colors. There are still some tulips, too, and a few irises are blooming. There are also a couple of pretty phlox plants, some daisies, and a few roses.

One of the things Hubbie did today was cut a board to use as a barrier behind Mother's washer and dryer, because Snoops the cat kept getting behind them, but then was unable to get herself out. Several times, Hubbie was called upon to climb on the machines, reach way down behind them, grab Snoops by the nape of the neck, and bring her out. And of course, since cats never learn their lessons, Hubbie finally decided to build a barrier.

Supper tonight was leftover beans, taters, and cabbage. Then it was the usual evening of TV. Since the DVR was full (I'd set it to record our favorite shows while we were gone) , we watched several one-hour programs.
