Easter about did me in this year. Shopping and errands started last Wed. Friday I spent ALL afternoon out in the yard, filling up all my empty pots and repotting several that were overgrown. It was so fun, though. I forget how much I enjoy yard work and puttering about in the garden with flowers. And what a gorgeous spring we've had this year. My tulips and daffodils were so pretty. I should have taken a picture, huh? The glads are blooming along with the lipstick sage, tomatoes are planted. Hunter's planted carrots and radishes in his garden again and they've both sprouted. Time to throw another round of seeds out there for him. Oh, and my bed of heucheras are all blooming too! And the alliums. And the penstemons are budding.
But back to Easter. Saturday was cleaning all day and then preparing everything I could ahead of time. Then I spent the night loading my 4G SD disk for my digital photo frame. But I couldn't get the frame to recognize it. That took about an hour of trying one thing after another and finally deciding that the frame just is too old to recognize that size of a chip I guess. I was pooped when I finally crawled into bed, only to get up this morning and realize the thing to do was delete the old pictures stored in the frame's memory and add the new. But the file was too big. So I had to delete, first by picking through. Then it was STILL too large. So by then, I just randomly deleted til it fit. But GRRRRRR. Too much time wasted on what should have been a simple thing.
But back to Easter. :-D I ran out of pilaf today. Next time I'll have to remember to make a triple batch instead of just double. I think everyone was hungrier than usual, cause we had a ton of appetizers before dinner. But there were -- OMG!!! -- TWENTY people! Plus 2 babies. No wonder I ran out of food. Usually I have right at 14-15. But everyone showed up today, including the wayward nephew who's hopefully getting his life back on track and now has a wife and stepson. The house is cleaned up again. But yeah, tired is I.
