Comedy Show
Sigrid, Ingrid, and Laura are attending a show tonight in Little Rock. A women comedian is presenting. The tickets weren’t cheap so I hope it’s funny. It’s nice for the three to do something together.

Birds
I'm having to carry my suet feeder in at night. I try to get it when I go look the chicken coop. I guess a coon has found me. With no Phinnie to help, I am at his mercy. Also, the crows are jumping and knocking the suet to the ground and then eating it. I think, well, at least they are birds.
I'm having deer come to the back of my yard each evening. I won't put pictures of them, but I enjoy seeing them come by. One has a pretty yearling is thin. Soon they will have more to eat.
Drenched
It rained most of the day. This morning it was just sprinkling so I put on my hat and a hoodie. I’d walked a mile when it started to rain harder. Glad the cap bill kept the rain out of my face. It started lightening too, but all I could do was just walk on toward the house. I am thankful I did not get struck by lightening. I had to remove all my clothes when I got to my porch. I wore pajamas most of the rest of the day as the rain continued. I finished push mowing my lane yesterday. The side of the lane is puddles now, but it dries up pretty fast. It was cold today too. Tomorrow warmer and more storms.

Daisy
This morning my meadow was filled with patches of daisies. Daisy comes from Old English Day’s Eye. Many open at dawn and close at dusk. In Latin Daisy means sun’s eye.
Sigrid had to deliver a speech about one of the senior Zeta’s. She spoke about Anna Claire. She’s 4th from left on back row! Sig doesn’t mind speaking in front of an audience. What an asset.
I am not a good driver and when I saw this I thought it depicted me very well. When someone honks their horn at me I want to apologize!
Sister Helen made Ada an apron. She’d made aprons for my girls and all our girls before but Ada wasn’t even a thought then.
Susie Q
My cousin Susie drove down today with Sisters Fleta and Helen. We had a great visit, but it passed too quickly! Susie’s friend Lamoine was a bonus friend. Laura served a delicious lunch! Dessert was Laura’s cheese cake with lemon curd! I’m amazed at how my Laura really looks like Susie! DNA revealed.

Cheese Cake
It’s supposed to be 75 here today and sunny. Beautiful day. Laura and I will walk at Lake Dardanelle this morning.
I mowed my lane yesterday. Part with the push mower and some with the rider. Some of it is still too wet. May is almost here and I will soon be spraying to kill the weeds. Lots of work and only one me.

My New Neighbor
When I walk to the pond, I usually sit awhile in the swing. As I was sitting there,I spied gold fish. Pop put 3 in the pond and they are still there. If you look closely, you’ll see a little orange in the pond pictures—gold fish.

Mowing Again
Astrid is OCD. She has obsessive chicken disorder.
I mowed again yesterday. Week and a half between mowings. I mowed weeds. It took 3 hours.
I had a little dove in my flat feeder. I have them on the ground eating what falls, but usually they don’t getup to the feeder. I had a feral cat eating my suet. I tapped him and rehomed him.

Irises Blooming
Got a perm yesterday and I don’t think my hair is fried.
Time to mow again. I’m just mowing weeds. It’ll be a three hour job.

Pretty Roses
I’m getting a perm today. I hope I look better. I have really bad hair. Now I have two bald spots on top of ugly hair. I’m not planning to find a new companion which is good as I’d have trouble attracting one.
I mowed both sides of my lane this week with the push mower. So glad Greg fixed it. It’s a 1/6 of a mile and I have to push down and back several times. By weekend I’ll mow my yard area again. It’s still mostly weeds.

Grandma Powell Hot Water Rolls
Ingrid graduates soon. May 11 from Tech and in June from Baptist Health. She now has a full time job with a cardiologist. Cardiac ablation is a treatment for irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. It uses heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in the heart. The scars block faulty heart signals and restore a typical heartbeat. She will do his tests to locate the spot he fixes is what I’m thinking, but I’m really too ignorant to know.
