April has come and gone and very quickly I might add. I'm not sure how it passed by so fast without much notice but here we are celebrating the first day of May. In fact, it is hard to believe that it is the beginning of the fifth month of this new year. I guess that old saying, "the older you get, the faster time goes," is true.
Yesterday, April 30, was my birthday and it was a grand day. My oldest daughter came down to spend the day with me. We made a trip to Walmart where she bought my present, four bags of mulch to put in an area on the north end of the house. It was the nicest gift and something I really wanted and could use. She also brought down a cake and then ordered in pizza to be shared by my grandson, Zach and his friend, Bob and my friend and neighbor, Spike. We all had a good time visiting and after everyone went home, Melanie and I went out to sit on the porch and talked. It was a nice evening and gave us a chance to catch up on our visiting.
She spent the night so this morning she helped me put down the mulch and then we worked on the shed behind the house. We found some items for the upcoming yard sale and did some organizing and clean up. It was as much fun as work at times when we would discover something I hadn't seen for a while and a few items I didn't even know were there as they had belonged to my husband. Since she still has some things stored out there, we went through them as well. We got a lot done but still a little more to do and I can handle it on my own.
We had a nice lunch and then went out to the other shed where we are storing all the yard sale stuff and got it marked and separated. Not sure when we will be having the sale but hope it will be soon as I'd like to clean up that shed as well.
We took a rest before she had to start back and sat out on the porch. It was a gorgeous day but a little on the windy side but made it comfortable to sit out there. We also discovered there were kittens in my car and when we lifted the hood, we found three little ones wrapped around the engine compartment. We got them out and hopefully they learned and won't get in there again but I'll be checking before starting up the car. They are at the age where the mama cat is beginning to wean them, so they scamper here and there and want to act big and brave but like to hide in those hard to get to places.
We had a great time together and it has been a quiet evening for me but I have some good memories and I know we can always talk on the phone.
I did talk to my other daughter who is experiencing some aggravating rashes that the doctors keep giving her meds for but don't seem to be helping. Hopefully they might have her on something now that will help her. Not sure what it is but they said it was allergic reaction to some plant or something. Makes you wonder just how competent they are if they aren't even sure about it. So I hope it heals up soon and she gets some relief.
She called me yesterday evening and I got to talk to each of the grandkids too. That was a nice little gift too. It would have been nice to have seen them but to talk to them was just as good.
Anyway, the day is over and now we are starting a whole new month. It won't be much longer and we will be out of this spring weather into summer and hopefully it won't be a long hot and dry summer like we had last year.
We didn't wrap any may poles today or deliver any may baskets but it was still a great day.
