The Last 5 Weeks in Pictures


I'll start with some pics of Desi and Jonny on the set of The Pirates of Penzance


A random Keystone Cop

We took a trip to Pismo and Avila for the day, stopping at Madonna Inn for breakfast on the way - a tradition started by Lowie and me a couple of years ago



I got to take Aaron to a Cub Scout outing - building a race car -
Aaron did the whole thing by himself!




Now for some (not all) shots of Ali's shower - photos courtesy of Desi and Elsie








This is today - Spent the day in the yard weeding and mowing

Gigi isn't angry, I just happened to capture her at the end of a sneeze

Here's my pretty girl!

And her brother Quinn, an Akita/Shepard mix with a wonky ear

Everything is green and healthy after all the rain

The Asparagus Fern is reviving as it does every spring

See the new fence border I put in to prevent dogs from using the Asparagus Fern as a bed?

Iris buds - I really didn't think I'd get any of these to flower this year - yay!

And this Nasturtium is growing back beautifully after a "helpful" friend
pulled most of it out last year thinking it was a weed
even the shamrocks are doing well
I love the way Lilies look almost artificial

There are 2 small Japanese Maples that survived the winter outside in this pot

As did this larger sapling

Just my dirty feet after spending the day in the yard!
