Early Spring

The gorgeous weather continues. The crocuses are up. The first ones up are always the yellow ones. Don't know why that is. I have several different varieties scattered around the back gardens.

We went to the Home and Garden Show in Green Bay this past Saturday. Lys signed me up to win a bunch of different things. We didn't win anything. Big surprise there.

Ben enjoyed getting all the freebies. Super cool hat he's showing off in the picture below.

Also did two new things this weekend. Went to my brother's house. I stick welded for the first time ever. Very cool. I have to admit I'm not good at it, but I have a new respect for the people that can do it well. It is definitely an art. I also cut metal with a torch. Absolutely no art to that, but SO fun! Talking of things I haven't done before, ever hear of a bucket list? I have two different types. I have the list of places I want to travel to some day, and I have the list of stuff I want to accomplish. Decided to post them here.

  2. I don't think that can go on a bucket list. It has to be things that I can make happen. Lotteries are supposed to be total luck.

  3. That's what they want you to think. What about the people that have won 2 or more lotterys? At 3 trillion to 1 odds. Your job, if you choose to accept it, is to find out how they do it and let me know right away. :-)
