Explosion of Color

My favorite color is green - well, it is at this time of the year. Last week I walked along sidewalks that still had snow piled up next to them. This week - the snow is gone - G - O - N - E - gone! Yay! In its place is lovely, brilliant spring green grass! There are spots in my yard that are ready for a first mowing. I imagine that our neighbor will do that befoe we come home.

Yes, our neighbor mows our yard. She loves to do it, craves the exercise, we buy the gas, we let her do it. Yup, we do. Gives us more time to ride the motorcycles. ::snork::

We are entering extreme count down mode. This time Friday night we will be in Anchorage waiting for our plane to paradise. This time Saturday night we will be settling in for a chat perhaps with Miz Paradise Ali and her family. Pictures? You bet there will be - when we get back, of course. Post cards? You betcha. If I have your mailing address, you will be receiving a post card from Hawaii. Hula girls? Well, no, sorry. Our oldest grandson made that request first. Well, he thinks that we are bringing him a real live one. (no, he probably doesn't think that, but he has said it wistfully) ;-)

I walked 3 miles tonight - hubby was at the shop and I considered for a few moments just walking on until I got there - changed my mind, though and turned back before I became TOO easy/hard on myself.

But, now, my friends, I must turn in for the night. I am bushed. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
