April 20th

Friday, April 20th, the lilies are in full stride now, my tomato plants have fruit and the squash and cukes have tons of buds. I continue to be amazed at the early maturity of every plant. Today Gary pruned the front hollies. We need to do the rest of them as soon as we can. The mockingbird babies have fledged. It is so cute to watch them learn from the parents. I don't know about the blue birds. The parents have been super busy, but I have not seen any little ones. Last night Jacob had his first school program! He was so excited and Hal was kind enough to send me texts during the program so Gary and I would know what was happening. I really wish we could be near enough to them so we could be a part of their lives. I really don't like being a "visitor". But that is what we are and Gary is adamant that we will not move to Texas. We have to decide what we are going to do soon. We don't need to stay in this big house with no family around. We've been talking about st Simon island again. It may be a good compromise. We shall see.
