Got a pleasant surprise when I looked in on this first setting Silkie this morning with these 4 little chicks peeking out from under her. She had one more hatched chick and 2 more eggs under her that hadn't hatched yet.
After chores hubbie finished loading up his truck with all our trash and recyclables and then we stopped at daughter's to pick up her recyclables and trash on our way to the landfill.
After emptying the truck at the landfill we drove to Blantyre to see if the plant house we usually buy our garden plants from had plants ready yet, They only had flowers so far and she said it would be at least another week or so to get the vegetable plants big enough for sale.
We headed home to have lunch.
After we ate hubbie and I both spent the afternoon of this record breaking temperature day outside.
The old record set back in 1907 was 80 degrees, if you notice on this thermometer the higher temp earlier was 85 here and this 83 temp was at 4:00 this afternoon.
We got several things done, we planted the red climbing rose out of the big pot it has been in the last couple years and planted 7 blackberry plants hubbie had dug up and kept in pots since last year and got the 2 grape vines we purchased a while ago planted.
Hubbie then got on the lawn mower for the first time this year and I always love the freshly mowed lawn.
I trimmed bushes and cleaned up the yard while I admired all the colorful flowers starting to show off early this year.
Had no idea this ground cover even bloomed.
All the new Hostas I bought last year are popping up .
I had to admire this old apple tree that has been devastated by wood peckers for years and just keeps coming back year after year and has the delicious old rusty grimes golden apples on it.
My chives and some of the other hardier herbs are coming back strong this year.
I felt sunburned for the first time this season across my shoulders but it felt good to spend a day outside soaking up the vitamin D.
We did chores early this evening and went over to visit #2 son and Tif to see their new house with all the furniture and décor in it. They have a beautiful home.
While we were gone there was an accident on the road and d-in-love called to tell us to take a detour to get home.
By the time we got here they had the road cleaned up and the car towed away.
We relaxed for the evening.
The governor put the entire state under a stay at home advisory today to hopefully slow the spread of the covid virus.
We are thankful for our health so far and for the blessings of this day.
God Bless and Good Night
