Flowers in Suburbia
I weed-whacked the lawn some this week, and Belovedest got out the mower this morning. The tulips are quite merry. The irises have yet to show anything but great big leaves, but there's some little white bell-shaped flower in the iris pen.
Sadly, the iris pen is also full of morning glory, so Belovedest is about to launch a scorched-earth campaign against them.
The clouds today were fantastic. Rain with a little sleet, and sun.
Last night we took "the ladies" to the vet. Zoë gets a blood panel to make sure her 2 lb weight loss isn't something terrible (most likely hyperactive thyroid). Thea gets beef-flavored Prozac.
Belovedest picked up a sign for the laundry room. It's actually helpful as well as quaint. There was another option, with a little more innuendo. We'll see if it's still there next time.
I'll hopefully be able to get the emissions test on Monday or Tuesday.
We need to do the 6 month flush of the basement moat. Possibly tonight, possibly tomorrow. Tomorrow we're planning on going through the pile of old pants and take them to the thrift store. Still sound, just the wrong size.
Eve and I have been bonding in Pinterest over rings and dresses and stuff. There's this guy. To call him a high school sweetheart would be overstating the initial connection; he was just some dude off the internet with a few things in common. They had an on and off communication (not intense, just talking about their lives and whatever) but they randomly reconnected around Christmas, started getting close, visited, and are going to revisit the topic of whether they'll date in June. Meanwhile, they're cheerfully planning goals and budgets so they can get a house and be together on a sensible timeframe with a nice amount of savings. (My daughter is about as good at not being in a relationship as I was with Belovedest.) She sent me a fantastic early Mother's Day/birthday gift: a stunning Lioness Elise piece. I tried it on and it's beautiful and my usual star necklace looks like it's attached. (She asked for pink cotton sheets.)
My head is still full of rocks, but I'm going through library books at a good clip again. I'm in the Raven Boys series right now, and I've fallen for it. Chainsaw the raven is my perpetual favorite, even though Blue is fantastic and Gansey calling her Jane makes me laugh.
