Sitting in the Jeep with Grampy

Fish are back in their outside pond.  Kit Kat wanted to catch them so we put some leaves in for them to hide under and Kimmy moved some the green plant over so it hangs over for more places for them to hide.  They move really fast so think they are pretty protected anyway. She didn’t catch them last year.

My Clematis looked dead last week and now today it has mostly green leaves and the dead ones are pretty much gone.  Lots of blossoms on it already.

I forgot to call Evan before he left for school and wish him happy birthday.  I got ready, then I read my Bible.  Kimmy came over, so we drank our coffee and visited for a while.  She helped me rinse strawberries and take the tops off.  I mashed them in my juicer and added sugar.  It was sunny and 45 degrees with no wind, so we decided to go sit on the deck.  It was a little chilly so we came in.  We went back out a little later and weeded the flower garden.  It looks so nice again.  Melissa came over.  So happy to see her too.  We had fun visiting, then I made grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for lunch.  I had the girls take their sandwiches and dish up their soup.  Melissa took hers, set it down on the table and tasted it, then got up right away and said I gotta do this.  She came to the kitchen and filled her soup bowl up to the top and brought it back in to finish eating.  Kimmy and I laughed so hard.  She said a few times how good the soup was.  We all sure enjoyed dipping our sandwiches in the soup.  That’s the first time Kimmy has had tomato soup and she really liked it too.  We relaxed more, than Vikki came over.  Bill got here with the angel food cake I had him pick up, and we girls had strawberries and angel food cake.  YUM!  Melissa had to go, then Vikki had to go.  Kimmy and I took the fish from the downstairs pond out, emptied the water and then moved the fish to their outside pond.  Kimmy did most of the work.  I am happy to have them outside where I will be lots since good weather is coming.

She moved a plant so it would grow over into the water for the fish to hide in when Kit Kat comes near.  We relaxed on the deck some more after that and watched for birds which seemed to have disappeared for the tie being.  We put Preen on the flower garden.  It’s supposed to rain tomorrow.  We walked around and looked at plants that are coming up ad also walked along the woods and saw new growth on one of the ferns.  False Forget Me Nots are blooming.  I love this time of year.  After Kimmy left, I packed the refrigerator in the camper and also packed my clothes, helmet, and motorcycle stuff in.  Went down my list and put whatever was needed in the camper.  It didn’t take too long since we are only going for 2 days.  

In the evening, Bill and I relaxed and I worked on my blog.  Kimmy called to have us be praying for Jared’s mom’s sister who had a stroke and was in ER.  We prayed and are continuing to pray.  Prayer is appreciated.
