Twins again!

It seems as if at least once a week we get asked if we are brothers, or even twins. Seeing as how we are 13 years apart in age, it's either a nice compliment to Bear or signs I am prematurely aging! In any case, rather than try to explain our relationship to shop clerks we just say "yes" and leave it at that. Here's a picture taken today so you can decide if we have lived together long enough to now resemble each other.

Still gorgeous

The tree peony I planted last fall is in bloom. The individual blooms are over 6 inches across. Too bad it isn't the color I bought. It is suposed to be red and white striped, which this obviously is not. Still gorgeous though.

I've been sayin these things for a while now; looks like Wanda was eavesdropping on me.

We've gone nuts

In an effort to keep the squirrels out of the birdfeeder, we started giving them corn and peanuts. We call one "Notch" because she has a small crescent missing from one ear, probably from a fight. Notch has decided to let us know whenever we need to put out more food by coming to the back door and looking in, sometimes thumping on the door. She can be quite persistant, going from window pane to window pane in order to make sure we see her. We are extra careful never to leave the backdoor open now, for fear she would come inside and have a look around.

Falling water

One of the things we liked about the house when we were looking was that it had a water feature. It was in need of a complete overhaul however. Here it is as it was.

Here it is after the makeover. We think it is a big improvement.


As with all things, the backyard is still a work in progress. We hope to make it a lush private eden. Once plants start to grow in it will look even better.

Spring is busting out all over

We had a lot of spring color from bulbs, both from those and I planted and those that were a surprise.



Here are some other flowers.



It really is a beautiful time of the year out here.

Snubbed!

In an effort to be more social we had joined a monthly potluck club. We volunteered to host for March and got everything all tidy and cooked up a storm so everything would be nice and tasty for the event yesterday. Well, only four people showed up. Luckily it was 4 of the people we like the most. Of the potlucks we have attended there has always been at least a dozen people in attendance. I consider this a snub. Well, they won't get a chance to experience out Southern hospitatality again, as we will not be hosting again. Fuck 'em!

Twins???

We were at the supermarket today and a woman asked us if we were twins! Apparently we have lived together long enough to resemble each other as couples sometimes do after a while. lol.
