No Foolin'!

 It is April, and in the typical Birthday Week fashion, rainy and overcast!  LOL but fairly warm. Saturday was gorgeous!  I was down in Richmond, IN at my brother & SIL's for Easter. Got to see my nephew, my aunt, uncle, other brother and his wife, dad, and baby brother. She made a super yummy dinner and we had a great time.  Made sure my baby brother got to ride down with me, as he's always asking.

Old Business:

1. Almost done with Power.  Into the workbook section, so I think that is going to be interesting.
2. Chores and downtime, I think I need to start blocking and gating.
3. Still reading Eleanor.  Starting to get good.
4. Doing OK with trail guide. I signed up for the 3 month subscription for the NCBTMB test, so I need to get cracking.
5. Still bad with P4S.
6. Magazines, doing pretty good.
7. Stress test and echo are done.  While I do have some mitral and aortic regurgitation, he says he does not feel it is bad enough to cause my symptoms. So, back to the drawing board.  I was thankful for my brother and his wife to come up and go with me to it.
8. Have not started the next layout yet.
9. Garage is so-so. Got water inside the last couple times it rained, so that's put a damper on it a bit.  However, did put together the 2 lanterns that were painted, and put the lights in them, and so far, they are staying put on the holders I made for the fence. And lighting up.
10. Guitar is good, at 28 weeks now.
11. Need to set up appointment with lawyer and dad to do the co-guardianship.

New Business:

1. I have been out weeding and edging once or twice a week, just to try and get a little head start.
2. We've had a couple of good windstorms, so I've also been out picking up sticks a few times instead of waiting until I'm ready to mow.
3. Going to change the oil in the lawnmower this week.
4. Maybe going to plant the bushes that I overwintered along the "new" section of the fence so I can start working there.
5. Probably need to mow the yard this week/weekend. Thinking about maybe pushing it to get the clippings.  Will depend on whether or not it goes to seed before I get there.

Crocus are gone already, but now I have daffodils, bleeding hearts, grape & regular hyacinth, and forsythia. I did see a small nub of asparagus peeking up, the magnolia tree has buds that are almost out, and the lilac is starting to bud out. My hydrangeas are starting to get little green growths around the crowns, and my ligularia are popping up. So excited!
