The tulips are in their most beautiful regalia presently. Tomorrow we take a trip to Molbak's Nursery where we will see many more tulips as well as other great looking plants. The good news is that now is the time the nurseries and gardens around here gear up for a glorious spring/summer vegetation display. While the dogwood have now turned completely green, the rhododendrons are beginning their bloomings. Between seeing them and the other beautiful greenery around my residence, I am happy to say that color is just a glance away for me.

We also do fun things here at my residence including visits by the preschool age children from across the street, various music groups (guitar, hand bells, piano, etc), chocolate bingo and cooking shows. My gumbo recipe is to be featured this coming month as the cooking demonstration. Betty has promised to bring the ingredients!

I am well, and enjoying the gorgeous colors that are popping out with Spring flowers and sunny days! While not exactly tiptoeing through the tulips, I am enjoying them as Betty & Doug take me on car rides and show them to me! The days are growing longer and warmer, too.

Weekly I get a manicure, makeup, and my hair done at the salon here at the residence. Between the Montessori children visiting almost weekly and a hand bell choir coming once a month, I get a chance to visit and enjoy them as well. But I miss you all, so please know that visits are always a welcome diversion!

This is a picture of a dogwood tree below my window. This week we went to a nearby nursery and got spring plants to put in the pots near the door of my residence. The grounds have been spruced up and the plants are in - it is beginning to really look like Spring around here!

The days are getting longer heading toward summer, and while I don't do night events anymore, I do enjoy the longer days.

Easter was a rather nice day! Sunshine mid morning that really highlighted the dogwood blossoms and the tulips. I went to Betty & Doug's for Easter dinner, meeting up there with Michelle and Jeff, Doug, Erica and my great grandson Dylan.

There was a fun Easter egg hunt in the children's park right behind Betty & Doug's house. I suspect that next year Dylan will want to join in the fun, too. Right now he is happy just being around people who love him and watch over him. He would, I suspect, just like his daddy, climb our fig tree in the Scarlett house backyard if he could. He loves to climb and heights intrigue him!

Our weather is fitful - rain showers sometimes followed by sun spurts. Making for a very muddy visit to the tulip fields (that we will take from our residence later this week).
