A Fun Visit With Mom

Doug and I found Mom up and awake on Sunday afternoon. She waved at us as we walked in and smiled just about the whole time we were there. This is not common any more. She is usually asleep, or at least real sleepy, so it was nice to "visit" with her. . .







and share some laughs. We laughed at Doug a lot
but












he is such a good sport!

Lately

Very frosty and cold on Saturday morning (March 21st, SECOND day of spring). These poor
stunted looking bulb bloomers are iced up, as is the . . .

hollyhock I moved last year to a new location. I guess she decided she'd try one more time. So nice to know she's coming back.












Saturday evening we had a nice walk to the Tides, where there was much March Madness in bloom. Doug had his favorite, reuben sandwich and I enjoyed the open face veggie burger.

Adam had just finished being a dishwasher and was tending bar.

Sunday the hummingbirds showed up. This is one of Doug's photos (on my camera - hence the lack of clarity) with the screen still on the window.












After several shots with the screen it just drove him nuts, so he must have stood on the counter so he could get above the screen. (I've done this too, but no birds ever come back to the window when I do.)











This morning Danny and I watched this guy drink up.











This is a shot from Doug's new DV camera. Well, it was new once upon a time. He bought it at Goodwill.

Beware the Ides of March...........

The weather report for Olalla early on this Sunday morning: 40 degrees and snowing!
