Things started going bad when the battery in my car was dead this morning. It put a big crimp in my day. The
battery has to be reached by removing the back seat. Ted put a quick charge on it and I hope it remains charged. I
was able to pick up the girls. Adrienne was to have had
academic team and they canceled it and she had to wait until after I picked up Ashley and then the both of them
had to sit in the front seat because Ted had to access the battery from the back seat and he didn't put it back.

On the plus side, I have finally caught up on the back yard ,the laundry and the house work. Our house has zero curb appeal and we are trying hard with a container garden
in front and hanging plants to spruce up the old girl. My back is killing me from all that plant moving and weeding.\

The back yard is beautiful with a huge lilac bush in bloom, lots of ferns and flowers in hanging plants and all of the
cushions back on the furniture. Last year I had my rattan
furniture covered in a wild outdoor-indoor fabric. We kept
the cusions inside for the winter and covered the furniture
with tarps . It looked awful. Our winter was so bad that
the porch was no protection from the driving wind, hail,
snow and rain. I had my coffee out there this morning and it was delightful. The air in the early morning is so soft
and cool and fragrent with the scent of lilacs.
