I'm recovering from last week and poor Katie's medical problems, as well as Jack being sick and then Jack being off school for a professional development day.  I feel back to normal, although my blood pressure isn't.  Back to see the doctor next week, but I'm not tired anymore:)

I planted my seeds for May.  There are Roma tomatoes, white and blue delphiniums, white Maltese cross (which I had never seen and may have been harvested from the Smeltzer house vintage garden), blue asters and rudbeckia.  We'll see what grows well.  The best thing about this year is that Bagheera is too old and sore to jump up on the counter and destroy my plantings, fingers crossed.

We had a horrible wind storm here 3 or 4 days ago.  We have a dead Swedish aspen in the backyard and some of those branches came down, and also a little bit of our roof.  We have a neighbor, bless him, who does roofing estimates for a living.  He noticed we had a few shingles missing and offered to fix them for us, if we had replacement shingles.  We did and he did.  When I asked him how much, he suggested a chocolate cake which is how I paid him last year when the same thing happened.  Chocolate cakes made.

Tonight is parent teacher interviews so I made a casserole for supper and one for the freezer as well.  It's always satisfying to get things done.  I also washed the floors which haven't been washed in weeks and were covered with dog footprints.

I still have to get blood work done and walk the dogs but those can wait until after lunch.
