A Day of Photos


 
 This is Gibbs, a sweet guy that just showed up and charmed me.  He often sleeps in the cat beds on the carport. I started feeding him because he had a bad cold and I wanted him to have the resources to get well. Several other cats now eat with him as well. He's the only who will stay and accept pets.





 






A little after I took this photo, it started raining, then cleared up completely and was lovely and sunny.

 
 Houdini, our spayed queen. Everyone knows who's the boss of cats at this house.




My feet were especially cold today.

where's a kite

It's a very windy day here in Mesa, AZ. Makes me wish I had a kite. It would be great fun right now.  Also makes me wish I didn't have allergies! Spring is definitely sprung for us in the low desert. the trees have put on or are putting on new leaves, my sweet peas are blooming, as are the freesias, stocks, nasturtiums, the climbing roses, petunias, snapdragons, violas, tons of red salvia, one white iris, and my daffodils will be blooming soon. the sugar snap peas are covered with blooms and peas. Dad's tomatoes are producing, even thro the plants look like they are dying. the basil is going strong, but is needs to be cut back. which I hate to do 'cause the blooms attract so many bees, which I need if I want tomatoes or peas or new flowers for next year. I let some of my flowers go to seed so I don't have to keep buying new plants or seed every season. I did get two mint plants, apple and chocolate, as well as a Thai basil. somehow I managed to not lose any plants this winter. I hope I can continue the trend over the summer.

School is keeping me busy as well as church. My mat120 midterm is on 3/9...scary..it's 30% of my grade which is a high b right now. Latin is going well I have a solid b there too.

this Friday is the ward's creative culture night. we (the family) are going to display stuff and bring citrus squares( I haven't decided if they'll lemon, lime, or orange). Saturday is the Stake women's conference. Sunday is church and choir practice. oh and on Tuesday is the RS activity committe meeting.

I'm still busy decluttering, and cleaning stuff. I'm trying to finish some projects that have been hanging around for way too long. trouble is I keep starting new projects. oh, well I get bored.
