Official Squatch Watchers

Hello everyone! I've had a busy weekend. Saturday, we redid the drainage off the access road on this hill behind the house because. My dad used his tractor and we just had to help a little with shovels and watching that he didn't dig up any gas lines. We needed to do this because a lot of the water from the access road was draining into what will be our leach field for our septic. We hope that, along with a swale behind the houses along the hill and around the leach field will help keep things drier. My dad also cleared our access road of some brush and took some large stones to use in the spillway for his pond. Which is fine, we have plenty of rocks.

Sunday, we went to church and did some household chores.

Today, I had midwife and physical therapy appointments (PT is for hip/pelvic joint pain). Baby is doing well and I'm in much less pain before I started doing PT and I'm not even doing the exercises like I should. :oops: We also took a tour of the hospital delivery setup and ran a couple errands, so we got back just in time to do Thing 1's nighttime routine.

I'm beat.

Saturday, we leave to head to PA to celebrate DH's Grandmother's 90th birthday. Her birthday isn't until May, but DH's Aunt, who is a missionary in Lithuania, will be in the US for a visit this coming week, so they shifted the birthday celebrations to take advantage of her being in town. I'm really glad they aren't waiting until May to have the party. Long drives are already hard on me.
 
Spring!

You are very busy!
 
They are my favorite flowers!
I find them so cheerful!

This time of year I pop into Trader Joe’s at least once a week and buy a handful of cut daffodil stems.
12 stems for 1.49

Cut off bottoms, stick in water and spend the day watching them open up!
They last several days.

The others bunches stay in the fridge (just dry, so they don’t open til you’re ready for them to open).
Flowers on demand!
What could be easier than that?!

Plant them once and they come up every year!

I have left hundred of bulbs behind as we’ve moved from place to place.
I don’t see many bulb type flowers here.
Maybe it’s too hot and humid in the summer and not cold enough in the winter for them to thrive well here.
