Ready to Laugh?


 








I think the next one is a bit dated.


Thanks Marilyn for sharing these.

In the Round

Have you ever done a round puzzle?


 This was my first and quite a different sort of challenge.  Several very tiny pieces, other pieces in very strange shapes and the green most of which I did last was difficult.  I persevered and met the challenge.

Puzzling will continue until weather warms enough to get out and garden.  Oh, wait.  May be difficult to do one handed.  My surgery to fix right thumb and carpal tunnel is the 31st.  I'll wait and see.

The New Car

 Delivery of the new car came earlier than promised.  Always a good thing.

When the electricity came back on Wednesday of last week, Dan had an email from salesman that car being delivered that day and we could come on Thursday to pick it up.

We did.

Meet our 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid.


It fits well in our barn garage.

We are still learning about all the features.  There are so many safety features now.


We think it's our next to last car purchase if it lasts 10+ years as the Mazda did.

Hello Spring!

 Signs in my NH yard.


Can you see the tiny green shoots of crocus?


Daffodil easier to see.


This is the bed on south side absorbing the warmth of the sun.


Another patch in the grass next to the deck has daffodils peeking out from melting snow.


Snow retreating where the sun shines warm.

And inside the amaryllis is almost spent but


look below.  Is that another flower stalk or leaves?


Spring comes slowly in NH as we've learned.  I'll enjoy it all.
