Hi Potties!

About the only useful thing I've done the last few days is to have blown leaves & pollen off the front deck a couple of times. It's hardly been worth the trouble - by the next morning it needs doing again. It's been beautiful late spring weather the last 3-4 days. I've been able to leave the front door open all day & most of the night. Too bad it won't stay like this for a month or 2.

I watch a lot of the home improvement shows & tonight I caught the new program "Hometown Kickstart". Tonight they helped some folks in a town called Buffalo, WY & next week they'll be helping some folks in Winslow, AZ. I got really excited when I learned one of the 6 towns they plan to visit is Thomaston, GA. That's where Harborview is - the home where Bear is living. I can't wait to see what some of it looks like.

I had a chipmunk in one of the bird feeders this afternoon; it's the 1st one I've seen in a couple of weeks. I think it was either new to my yard or very young & stupid since I was able to walk up & slap the feeder beside him before he took off. I hope that discourages future visits but I kinda doubt it.

I finally made space in one of the curios for the 2 pieces of "Drapery" carnival that I found at the old house. I was also able to ID 2 other pieces but found myself with quite a puzzle. There was a pretty Jack-In-The-Pulpit piece that I thought I recognized but I spent several hours on-line trying to ID & I still don't have a clue what it is. May take it to the booth & get Kathy to take a couple of pictures & email them to me. Then I'll see if I can send them to Carma on the Glass Board & see if he can help me find out what I found.

Hope to be ambitious enough tomorrow to take advantage of the nice weather & make a visit to Lowe's to see about getting a start on plants for the decks this summer. Got sidetracked this weekend with the races at Talladega & didn't leave the house.

Hope everybody is doing well & having some nice weather to enjoy. Later.

Susan
