Spring Is Here!

Well, kind of!  This was our backyard in the morning, a few days ago.

Janet had just cut the lawn the day before, so the frost is in nice straight rows.  This is the kind of thing Janet thrives on!  Whoever said retired people need mental stimulation hasn't met Janet. 

Phil is whipping up another batch of our delicious meals.  We like to give him a hand, if we have the time.  I like to try and stare him into hurrying up.  Rockers has stopped for a brief moment to serenade.  Usually Rockers paces in a circle from the kitchen, through the dining room, into the hallway and back into the kitchen the whole time Phil is making our dinner.

He thinks we adore him, but all we really want is dinner!

Another sign of spring:

Lots and lots of little birdies.  Janet loves them.  Unfortunately, the bamboo they are resting on has died and now needs to be cut out.

Jack stopped by our house the other day.  He and Gwen want to take Janet and Phil out for Chinese food.  Mr. Beau bolted up the steps and made himself right at home.

 Mr. Beau is like greased lightning, so there isn't a good shot of him.

Here is Rocker's imitation of a three legged dog.

That's Rockers club paw in the forefront.  It is way bigger than his other front paw and he is very self conscious about it. We always whisper when we talk about it, so he won't know.

I carefully positioned myself in the kitchen, and it paid off in spades.  I got to lick the remaining beaten egg out of the bowl.  I had to be very still and quiet as I don't want Rockers to know I have this treat.

If I stand up, Rockers might catch on.

Janet took us the beach this morning and we chanced upon a gaggle of small children who we quickly turned into an adoring fan club.  They were part of a camp for Spring Break. 

Next thing you know, we'll be dodging the paparazzi!  Come back little girls and we will pawograph a photo for you.

Remember the Souper Sunday they had last weekend?  Did Janet take any photos of her contribution?  Nope.  Did she take any photos of all the soups lined up?  Nope.  Did she take any photos of all the guests at the party?  Nope.  How about all the breads and desserts lined up?  Nope to that one too!
