I suppose I'm starting to feel bursts of energy because I completely overbooked our weekend. Yesterday we had a play date with an old friend which I haven't seen in over a year. Then last night we celebrated a friend's 50th birthday. It was an adult party, Elena was welcome and we were surprised how well she did. Then the time change, which always impacts our day. Why is it that we still have day light savings?? This morning we headed out nice and early to celebrate a friend's 4th birthday. As Elena and I came home we could see the fresh now sitting on the coastal mountains.
We can actually see some of the snow from our patio. This past week has been gloomy, chilly and rainy. The garden loves the rain and so do the mountains covered in snow. Today we have sunny about 70 degree day...perfect for eating lunch on the patio and taking in the mountain view. Ahh, nice and relaxing. This is the weather I love.
Lunch cuteness.
Strawberries are still flowering.
Trees are doing well. Everything is growing leaves. It's still hard to believe a huge mulberry tree used to dominate this backyard. The grass, though patchy, is cool and soft to walk on. I will miss this grass once the days become a bit warmer. Just can't bring myself to water grass.
Cleaned out the spider webs as Elena climbed the climber.
Oh, I nearly forgot to give an update on the baby. Yesterday marked 17 weeks....almost 4-1/2 months along. I've also started feeling the faint flutters of baby movement. The baby is estimated to be 5 ounces and the size of a turnip, about 5 inches from head to rump. Tomorrow morning is my first appointment with a new set of doctors. Soon we should be find out what we'll be having. What do you think we are having...another girl or a boy?
Did Elena want to go play in the snow?
