CINCO DE MAYO

CINCO DE MAYO ON A FRIDAY !!! EVEN MARY AND I PLAN TO HEAD OUT TO A MEXICAN PLACE FOR A MARGARITS AT 5PM. OF COURSE OUR FAVORITE BAND, FAT CHANCE, IS GOING TO BE PLAYING OUTSIDE ON THE PATIO.

WE’VE BEEN BUSY HERE ON “THE MOUNTAIN” WITH MARY SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN HER YARD. SHE HAS REMOVED HER LILAC BUSHES AND HER PYRACANTHA BUSHES OFF THE BACK DECK. SHE HAS ALSO DUG AND LINED WITH BRICKS A NEW ZINNIA GARDEN. THE RULE IS NOT TO PLANT UNTIL AFTER MOTHER’S DAY, AND THIS YEAR IS NO EXCEPTION AS WE HAVE OVERNIGHT FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN THE FORCAST FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK, SO WE WILL BE CARRYING ALL THE PLANTS INSIDE AGAIN THIS WEEK.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WAS “SUNNY & 80” AND IN OUR QUEST FOR 10,000 STEPS A DAY, WE ROLLED OUT THE SCOOTER AND TOOK A RIDE OVER TO THE RIM TRAIL FOR A HIKE.  DURING THE HIKE MARY SUDDENLY STOPS !! I THINK WE WILL GIVE RIGHT OF WAY TO THE RATTLESNAKE THAT WAS SLITHERING ARCOSS THE TRAIL.

TOMORROW THE HUNTERS WILL JOIN US FOR OUR ANNUAL KENTUCKY DERBY VIEWING.
