It was a busy one. Our friend Judy was in town to receive some instruction on using her new 15″ MacBook Pro<\/a>. It sure is a dandy little machine. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Apple comes up with for the iBook replacement.<\/p>\n

Judy really caught on quick. She was coming from an old Compaq Presario running some version of Windows pre-2000, so coming to the MacBook was like jumping out of a Festiva<\/a> and landing in a Veyron<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Tulip<\/a><\/div>\n

I took last Friday off to help Judy, too, but I also ended up going over to a friend’s house to get some plants from her garden that day. She’s a master gardener, so everything she had was in great shape and was quite gorgeous. I ended up with about 12 plastic bags filled with diggings from her yard, and I managed to get it all planted by the time Sunday evening rolled around. I also got our wren house cleaned out, painted some trim on the back of the house, relocated a big bunch of phlox to another area of the yard, and dismantled the Hummingbird feeder so I can get it cleaned up; it won’t be long before the Humingbirds show up looking for a snack. The last three days just flew by.<\/p>\n

The weather was also beautiful all weekend. It was still enough that I was able to get some nice macro shots of one of the purple tulips<\/a> that’s blooming in the yard right now. One of the last things I planted this weekend was a “carpet rose<\/a>” bush that Leah bought using a gift certificate her sister gave her. It’s a nice plant that reportedly blooms from late spring to late summer, so we should have some pretty color over on the east side of the house once the tulips — and even the iris — are done.<\/p>\n

Ava had a good weekend as well. Anytime she can get outside, she’s pleased, so the nice weather suited her to a T. Much to our puzzlement, though, Ava has returned to nursing after having abandoned it for a week or so. She’s been eating fine otherwise, and she hasn’t been sick, so we’re hard put to figure out what’s going on. That Ava…she’s always full of surprises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
