It is my wonderful hubby's birthday today! (as so it begins, the non-stop celebrations of Faery's family in May and June...) He is officially as old as me today. Too bad that I jump ahead again in less than two months. *wink*
I had big plans on coming back yesterday after the site was down during the morning. That threw my day off mentally and chronologically. My ILs called very early to say that they were coming up to visit around lunchtime so that meant I had to quickly clean the house before they got here. I thought they would come after lunch but it worked out nice this way. It felt great having them in the house and not worry about social distancing and masks. That was a first. It also meant that they stayed longer than I expected- I am not used to socializing at all anymore. It took me almost two hours before I offered them something to drink. [doh smilie]
The weather turned out to be pretty decent and I hoping that it holds on a little longer. I have to get out this morning and scrape red lily beetles off of their favorite food source- my lilies. I can't believe that the plants are infested again and that they are already being eaten- it is so much earlier than the previous years. Climate change hmm..... I did more research on them and the only way to get rid of them is to cut them down or to remove the eggs/larvae by hand which is dis-GUST-ing. I bought an organic pesticide that I can spray on them before they flower and will put more diatomaceous earth down. They are so pretty when they bloom that I hope it is going to be worth it.
These are not "bug-friends" nope, not even close.
Leah is coming up for dinner tonight to help us celebrate. That is about it.
I did finish Gary's card yesterday and am sort of done with Christopher's. Still need to do Dylan's. *sighs* It has been a major first-world problem trying to scrap with only one monitor. I got so spoiled with two. But this computer is still chugging along and that is all I can ask right now.
