The water heater is ON, the refrigerator is ON (still noisy).
The Phoebe has built her nest AGAIN (on the window frame this time) next to the door. There may be babies there, she kept trying to get me to go away.
There are beautiful dogwoods blooming, some late daffodils still blooming.
A strange message about Verizon and some charges on the phone answering machine. It's still there to listen to.
There was NO mail in the mailbox.
The lawn needs to be mowed: I left the J.Deere instructions on the seat of the machine just in case! Not sure of gas status.
WELCOME to THICUT and Summer!

Summer! It's in the upper 70's! Rain and cooler weather, maybe even a frost, is coming in the next couple of days.
Bob mowed on Sunday, but purple flowers are still all over the yard. We had some rain yesterday, so the grass looks very healthy and green.
I vacuumed up A LOT of Ladybugs this morning - and a few cobwebs. Just the downstairs. I cleaned up the sun-room plants, and turned on the water and pump so I could give them a healthy dose of 'local' water. I'll turn on the water heater next time, and the fridge when ARM tells us "I'm coming up!"
It's a beautiful sunny day. Enjoy!

Haddam Neck and Spring at THICUT

 Is this Aunt Yee's House? for sale?

 The Magnolia

 The Lenten Rose (3 blooms)

Mom and I drove all over Haddam Neck and found Aunt Kate's house (now YELLOW), and the church, cemetery, and we think Aunt Lil's house which is for sale. We'll have to take the drive with you, Aunt Sandy, to get the history and locations correct!
The grass is green and filled with violets, purple and white, the magnolia is in full bloom, the daffodils are spent, as are the forsythia. The flowering quince is full of red flowers.
Inside, the front hall is crunchy underfoot with all the dead ladybugs! I'll try to vacuum before you come up! Otherwise, all is well.
