Friday Fun

took this on Wednesday morning, thinking, I need to go back and see where my hair was this time last year.

Lo and behold, my Google "look back on this day" on Friday helped me out. 

At left, the pixie cut a couple of months out when I'd decided I was ready to get it long again. 

At right, this morning's length. One year down, probably another two to go to get it back to where it was when I shaved it all off. 


In other news this week: the sky has not fallen.


But bears are appearing in windows around the neighborhood. I still think I have the biggest pack. 


This is one of the neighborhood attempts of keeping kids entertained. Families get out to walk around and count the number of bears they find on their bear hunt. 

My own hunt is how many bunnies I can get in the backyard at one time. This round? 5. Only a few posed for photographs, however.





At lunch today, I took the pups around looking for the earliest spring blooms that are beginning to show off. We also kept an eye out for bears. 






Posted on the neighborhood mailboxes was the notice that families were invited to chalk decorate their driveways this week. Since we are expecting rain later today, I thought it would be nice to see most the streets' contributions before they disappeared.























back home to my pack. 

The Rest of Nick's Spring Break

Since the whole world is taking a break during this bizarre and unprecedented March, it feels odd to use the casual "spring break" here, but it was good to have him home for the week.

After our outing that first day he was here, I was delighted, although not with the reason, that he would be able stay until the following Sunday instead of leaving on Saturday as planned. His original route was to stop in and stay with Bob Sr. in Amarillo. But his senior living apartments closed to all visitors, so Nick switched to make the full ride all day Sunday. 

We took that Saturday opportunity to take one more mountain drive (now prohibited across the state) up to Grant and back, touching nothing in between.





























Last night together







Headed out Sunday morning.
